This video, after the break, has the live radar and radio communications leading up to the crash. (more…)
This product caught my eye because of the neat/silliness of it all and the amazingly bad English. Whether you drive for Uber/Lyft or just want to pimp the interior of your car this one is worth a look. You simply plug in this LED car projector, place it somewhere near the center of your car (they recommend the armrest), and let the party begin. Now on to the best part… the English marketing copy. Here are a few of my favorites; gorgeous...
Time to step up your pepper-game! The Peugeot Paris Prestige 1987 Iconic Black 110 Cm Pepper Mill is huge. It weighs in at 16.53-pounds and is 43-inches long. Still not impressed? It can hold 1/3 of a pound of peppercorns. Nothing to sneeze at! I saved the best for last, it only costs $1,250. Bargain.
The personal mobility scooter company, Segway, is now going after the powersports market with a street bike (pictured above), off-road 4-wheelers, and an electric dirt bike. The latest announcement and unveiling is of the Segway Apex which will have a top speed of 125 mph and a 0-60 mph time of 2.9 seconds. Other than those specs, much is unknown. ...
Looks like the Stator Fat Wheel Electric Scooter (Launch Edition) is finally available for pre-order. Let’s get the obvious good bits out of the way – this scooter looks amazing, it has a range of up to 80 miles, a top speed of 30 mph, disc brakes, fat tires, a slick handlebar display, and LED lighting. Looks great. Let’s hope this thing performs as good as it looks because the marketing material smells a bit fishy. Here are some of my cringe-worthy favorites. Engineering is an art and we’re perfecting it …world’s...
You bring home your shiny new car or truck and admire all of the time and energy that went into the design, then you see the front license plate bracket/mount and you begin to cry. It is like the car was ready to load on a delivery truck and they forgot that it needed a place for the front license plate so they just slapped one on. Most vehicle license plate brackets are ugly, bulky, and sometimes they even rattle.
Well, for once, our California politicians approved some decent laws (SB806, SB1399, SB1387, and AB1614) and are allowing license plate decals. Assuming you make it through the DMV bureaucracy.

For just $50 they do all of the back-and-forths with CA DMV and ultimately ship you a high quality and great looking license plate decal. Watch the video after the break if you want to see how easy the installation is – (more…)
If you watch the Silicon Valley tv show, you likely have seen Russ Hanneman, the billionaire tech titan portrayed by Chris Diamantopoulos. Well, the show continues with its good humor by launching a batch of their own tequila – Tres Comas Añejo Tequila to “re-billionize his bank account.” This is the “only tequila acceptable for billionaires,” and even has a bottle top in the shape of a comma. This tequila is made...
The Chinese government has banned the use of US-made technology at all government institutions and public bodies. This process of purging US-made tech will take place between now and 2022. Trade wars and nationalism at this level rarely have the desired effect but I think we are too far down this road. I already make an effort to avoid buying items made in China. Mainly because I believe too much...
Craigslist.com is a great place for selling just about anything since 1995. Up until now, Craigslist has only supported the web browser as an interface for selling/buying. Sure, there are other third-party apps that are attempting to do what Craigslist has not, launch an iOS app. Well, Craigslist has just released its very own official app which you can download here.
