Amsterdam has turned an underused portion of their Science Park and converted it into a startup incubator called Startup Village. I like the idea of repurposing old shipping containers into houses, garages, storage units, etc… Better than going straight to the scrap yard. The Startup Village (a bit apocalypse looking)…
UPS is putting more electric and hybrid vehicles on the road each day. They currently have over 9,000 alternative technology vehicles on the road around the world with 700 hybrids and over 300 all-electric vehicles.

Fingers crossed that the 2020 Ford Bronco rumors are true. I imagine that they are, and that a return of the Ford Bronco would be awesome and expensive. The only folks that don’t want this vehicle to see the light of day are the Jeep employees. OJ Simpson is super…
There haven’t been too many exiting gadgets hitting the market lately so it has come to this – Earthworm Jerky ($15). Yep, it is a real thing. Perfect for your buddy who prides himself/herself on eating just about anything. The earthworm jerky is from Rhode Island and is seasoned with…
