MicroVision SHOWWX Pico (2011) – Pocket Projectors That Don’t Suck in 2026
In December 2011 we pitched the MicroVision SHOWWX Classic laser pico projector as holiday sharing without the “everyone crowd the iPhone” huddle. About $140, ~4 oz, always in focus, WVGA 848×480, laser colors up to a claimed 200-inch wall dream, roughly two hours of movie juice. For less than a night of drinking, you could […]
Flyboard Zapata
Like the LevJet… but cooler. The Flyboard Zapata makes you look a bit like a super hero with the water jets coming out at your hands and feet. Comparing the two JetPack Systems is like Rocketeer VS Iron Man. How do I do this full time as a job?
Aptera Calls It Quits
The writing was on the wall when, a few months ago, Aptera started refunding customer deposits but it is still quite sad. I was actually on the waiting list for an Aptera 2e, and waited a loong time for what turns out to be nothing as Aptera has just announced they are closing their doors. […]
The Inflatable Pillow Tie
Yep, I could have used this for one of my first jobs… reading and organizing old loan documents. What looks like a fairly fashionable necktie has a hidden valve for inflating the tie making it into a pillow. “Because most things that require a neck tie, require a nap, the pillow tie does double duty. […]
4moms Origami Stroller
What happened? Mini vans are suddenly cool… packed full of technology, TV’s, automatic doors, etc… now this. The Origami Stroller Wow… who knew having kids could be so much fun? You have to watch the 4moms Origami Stroller in action to understand how amazing it is. The Origami Stroller automatically transforms (in either direction) with […]
Toyota Wants To Bring Sexy Back With Their New GT 86
The all new Toyota GT 86 (and 2013 Scion FR-S) should hit the Tokyo Motor Show later this week. The GT 86 is Toyotas attempt at bringing back the “fun to drive” rear-wheel drive from the 80’s and 90’s. You may notice some design cues from the old AE86 Toyota Corolla or the 2000GT. The […]
Already, Over 1,600 Players Banned From Modern Warfare 3 For Cheating
Modern Warfare 3 has only been out for two weeks and there are already 1,600 cheaters who have been banned from the game. Not sure how cheating is fun… but apparently a bunch of people enjoy cheating. Bummer. I just hope that Infinity Ward keeps shutting these losers accounts down.

Ducati 1199 Panigale
Ducati is at it again, making sexy bikes that cost as much as your favorite economy cars. Their designs got a bit weird over the last few years… but this is a bike I wouldn’t mind owning. The Ducati 1199 Panigale Superbike (pronounced “Pan-ee-gah-lee”) claims “the most powerful twin-cylinder production engine on the planet”. Ok. […]
AEV Brute Jeep Pickup
Love the Jeep Wrangler… love the pickup truck… love the SUV… blend them all together and you have the AEV Brute Double Cab Jeep Pickup. You send the guys at AEV a new Wrangler and a pocket full of cash and they extend the wheel base by 23-inches, add on some fancy lights, a 5-foot […]
