JET-HOT 1932 Ford Roadster
Ouch. My heart hurts after watching the video of this JET-HOT 1932 Ford Double Down Fuller. It is a thing of beauty. At first glance it looks like pure simplicity. An old car with a big motor and big sticky tires. Look gain. It doesn’t take long to notice that the attention to detail and […]

Netgear Arlo Q Cloud Video Recording
In the past I have said some nice things about the VueZone and Arlo systems.

The Forever Lock Is The Un-Pickable Lock
After watching the video of the Forever Lock being unlocked I would agree that it is pretty close to un-pickable. And then I dug a bit deeper and found a video of some guy who figured out how to bump-pick the lock. Sure it takes some skill and an existing key blank, but this lock will […]
