Sena Smart Motorcycle Helmet
Motorcycle gear continues to improve. One piece of gear which, in my opinion, hasn’t improved much is the motorcycle helmet. Sure, they have improved the aerodynamics and aesthetics but they are still quite loud on the inside. Wind and engine noise are still quite loud whether I wear my Arai or Shoei. Both brands aren’t […]
GoPro Karma Drone Changes The Game
GoPro has had a tough year, or two, as more and more competitors have been coming out with solid action cameras. Things look to have just turned around for GoPro. It looks like they have been quietly working hard on their latest GoPro 5 camera and an entirely new Drone dubbed the Karma. When I […]
Polish EV Heading To The US
First off, this strange looking electric vehicle (EV) is real and has been driving around Poland since 2009. It is all electric and is known as SAM. To me, it reminds of a kids crayon drawing. The front of the car looks like a cartoon monster or bug. After exporting the cars successfully to Germany, the […]
GARMIN VIRB ULTRA 30 CAMERA
Looks like Garmin just leap frogged GoPro with their latest action cam, the Garmin VIRB Ultra 30 Action Camera ($499). Not only is it good looking, it is chalked full of features. I am sure GoPro will respond with an upgraded camera any day now. In the meantime let’s jump right into the specs of […]
Kamp-Rite Tent Cot
I was recently at an outrigger race event and saw this cool/portable cot tent. Not only did it provide its owner a break from the elements but it also provided a place to change and some privacy while trying to get a nap. Another great feature of the Kamp-Rite Tent Cot ($128) is that it […]
Tesla Model S P100D
As if the Tesla Model S wasn’t already amazing enough. I would argue it is the best car money can buy today. Well, it just got better. The newest Tesla Model S P100D (as in 100 kWh battery) has a range of 315 miles and a 0-60 time of just 2.5 seconds. Pretty much the […]
Uber To Offer Free Rides In Its Self-Driving Cars This Month
It is no surprise that the ride hailing service (Uber, Lyft, Ride, etc…) that wants to win the war needs to have self-driving cars. Today, having human drivers is the only way to go, but this will surely change. Imagine a fleet of cars that has flawless (mostly, and surely to improve with time) drivers, […]
Skully Augmented Reality Motorcycle Helmet Dies Untimely Death
Hopefully you weren’t on the list of people who put money down and are waiting for the crowdfunded Skully augmented reality motorcycle helmet. If so, you are out of luck as Skully is filing for Chapter 7. In case you aren’t familiar with Chapter 7, it is the type of bankruptcy where there is no plan […]
Samsung SR2AK9350U Turbo Powerbot Vacuum
Robotic vacuums have been around for quite a while. The best known of the bunch tends to be the iRobot Roomba line of vacuums. I have been avoiding the Roomba’s ever since I have gotten ahold of my iLife A4 Smart Robotic Vacuum. You can read more about that here. I digress. Samsung is placing a […]
Nest Outdoor Camera
I happen to like my Dropcam Pro cameras (rebranded to the Nest Cam). While not perfect, they are pretty good at capturing and uploading HD video to the Google cloud. One of the largest gripes about the Nest Cam was the fact that it can’t go outdoors. Sure there are a few good cases that […]
