Portable Field Cooker Stove
I like this one… first time I have laughed out loud today. Not so much that there is a goofy gadget that allows you to strap a portable stove onto a tree… but that the picture they chose to use is that of a man and his sheep. Oh the lonely (hungry) man and his […]
Two Huge Solar Farms Coming to California
San Luis Obispo county is the latest in a race to build the world’s largest solar farm. The solar plant will cover 12.5 square miles and generate 800 megawatts of power! OptiSolar (550 megawatts) and SunPower (250 megawatts) will be doing the installation. The solar energy will be sold to PG&E at unknown rates. Via […]
Build Your Own Batmobile Tumbler
Bob Dullam, a pretty crafty fabricator, built himself his version of Batmans Tumbler. He made the car from scratch, obviously, and claims the car gets 50mpg (just kidding). [Source] Via KSU
Kinderlite Disposable Campfire
I love camping… mainly because of the campfire. Not much is better, for me, than sitting around the campfire relaxing and zoning out. The lighting of the fire has never really been a problem… put some paper under some kindling… then when the fire gets going add on some decent sized wood. I never knew […]
Chinese Porno Sinks
This is what happens when you give a perverted contractor free reign to install new outdoor sinks. Believe it or not, these are in China of all places. I imagine they are out of commission during the Olympics as the Chinese put their best butt foot forward.
Bad Ass Golf Carts
Bad Ass Golf Carts in Las Vegas has some seriously trick golf cart options. They offer everything from limousine stretch versions to lifted a full 14-inches. The best part… they put 24HP Honda engines in the carts so they are reliable. They aren’t cheap… the one I want starts at almost $13,000. [Source]
Solar Table
You may have noticed my solar fetish by now… I love solar! The Sun Table is a stainless steel and teak table with a built in 64 Watt unbreakable (the unbreakable part is questionable) solar panel, and a rechargeable battery (4 hours of good sun will charge the battery). The top has a hinge on […]
Another Robot Dog, Only Smaller
First came the Boston Dynamics “Big Dog”, then came the hilarious “Big Dog Spoof”… now there is the Boston Dynamics “LittleDog”. The little dog is smaller (duh) and quieter than the original. These robots are starting to worry me a bit… all of those old “robots taking over the world” movies are starting to look […]
Get Your Very Own Olympic Torch… Replica
For a paltry $500 you can have a replica (built from left over steel from the “Birds Nest” national stadium) of the Beijing 2008 Olympic Torch. I love the Olympics as much as the next guy/gal… but not sure I want a 29cm tall version of it laying around collecting dust. By the way… anyone […]
Hammock Tent
Love camping… but not a fan of pitching your tent on the ground with the scorpions, spiders, rodents, etc…? Check out the Lawson Hammock tent. This tent comes with spreader bars on both ends so you don’t feel like a mummy… it can hold one person and their gear. Pretty cool… assuming you can find […]
