Pacific Island Powered By Solar And Battery – Ta’u American Samoa
Now that Tesla has completed the incestuous acquisition of Solar City they can begin the deeper integration of solar and battery. In my opinion solar and battery go together like chocolate and peanut butter. It just make sense. Back to the story at hand, Solar City recently completed a 1.4 MW array on the island of Ta’u […]
The Bag Butler Makes Quick Work Of Lawn Work
Fall is a beautiful time of year, cold crisp air, back-to-back holidays, leaves of changing color, and warm winter clothes. I genuinely look forward to this time of year but I do dread the extra yard work created from the falling leaves. My yard has quite a few large trees that wreak havoc on the […]
Behind The Scenes Look At What Tesla Autonomous Vehicle Is Really Doing
Autopilot Full Self-Driving Hardware (Neighborhood Short) from Tesla Motors on Vimeo. The video above shows a Tesla with Autonomous driving is doing in real time. It is pretty amazing. The Tesla Motors autonomous software visualizes and color codes its world. Purple squares for street signs, green squares for in-path objects, red and purple lines for […]
AirSelfie Is A Mini-Drone Made Specifically For Taking Selfies
Unfortunately it looks as if the selfie is here to stay, so you might as well improve your selfie game. This tiny quadcopter hopes to take a few users away from the infamous selfie stick. The AirSelfie is small enough that it fits inside of a cellphone case. Simply pop it out of the case […]
USB Wall Charger With Hidden 1080P Spy Camera
Ahh, the ubiquitous USB wall charger. People don’t give them a second glance these days, unless of course they are looking to charge their phone. That is the cool thing about this USB Wall Charger Spy Camera, not only does it record 1080P video/audio it also functions as a normal USB charger. Unlike most “spy” […]
Ridgid 31693 WD1851 16 Gallon 6.5 HP Wet/Dry Vacuum With Cart Review
It was time for a new shop vacuum. After looking around a bit and comparing specs that were important to me (size, suction power, tool attachments, etc…) the Rigid 31693 WD1851 won the challenge and came home with me. I have had the Rigid WD1851 for a while now and thought I should update folks […]
Birdie – Make Your GoPro Camera Fly
The Birdie is 1/2 shuttlecock and 1/2 GoPro camera mount. Once the GoPro is mounted in the Birdie you simply play catch with it or throw it as high as you can. Think of it as a selfie stick that you can throw in the air for some cool aerial shots from above. Not quite […]
Tactical LED Flashlight Knife
Two things I like very much. Flashlights and knives. This Nestsun Tactical Flashlight Knife ($15) is fairly priced and has pretty good reviews as well. The flashlight is powered by a rechargeable lithium 18650 battery and uses a 250lm cree LED. There are three lighting options (high, low, and flashing), an adjustable zoom ring, and […]
Marvel Legends Iron Man Helmet
If you are a Marvel fan or a cosplay nerd the Marvel Legends Iron Man Helmet ($79.99) might be up your alley. The helmet is designed to look just like the one from the movie at a 1:1 scale. It has glowing LED eyes, a magnetized faceplate, and three sound effects just like the original […]
Sunflower Home Awareness System
Hmm. Not sure how I feel about this one. It is either the best or the worst idea. The premise behind The Sunflower Labs system is that you have outdoor sensors (Sunflower Smart Lights) that look like typical accent lights. These Sunflower Smart Lights sense movement and/or vibrations and alert the drone Flying Camera to checkout the potential […]
