Samsung Note 7 Detailed Fire Autopsy
Three and a half months after Samsung discontinued the Galaxy Note 7 smartphone they finally have a full autopsy of the causes. Yep, causes, there were a few things that went wrong.

Darth Vader Toothpick Dispenser

Lily Camera – Crash & Burn
Update as of 1/12/2017. After raising nearly $34-million in funding and pre-orders the Lily Drone Project is dead. Refunds to come for those who placed pre-orders. As much fun as it is flying/controlling your own quadcopter/drone there are times when “follow me” technology is the way to go. I think that is one of […]

This strange touch-sensitive musical instrument, dubbed the Otamatone, is right up there with the kazoo. Kinda neat but not gonna get you into your local band. Easier to explain with a good old fashioned video, after the break.

SpaceB Levitating Light Bulb Lamp
The ultimate office/desktop conversation starter. The SpaceB Levitating Light Bulb Lamp ($129) does pretty much what you would imagine. It levitates while lighting up. The real “magic” is in the inconspicuous fake book which contains the power source and electromagnets. Because it is a single LED light bulb it is perfect for accent lighting or […]

Apparently the builder of this product, the Febo, had a similar love of focusing the suns power. The Febo makes engraving wood surfaces with magnified solar power easy and sorta stylish. Prices start at $44 […]
