Polish EV Heading To The US
First off, this strange looking electric vehicle (EV) is real and has been driving around Poland since 2009. It is all electric and is known as SAM. To me, it reminds of a kids crayon drawing. The front of the car looks like a cartoon monster or bug. After exporting the cars successfully to Germany, the […]
Hotels With The Worst Bed Bug Infestations
One of the risks travelers deal with when staying in hotels is the possibility of bringing home bed bugs. They can hitch a ride with you in your luggage, clothes, or even your books. It just takes one hotel guest to bring the pests to the hotel and then the little guys spread out. They […]
GARMIN VIRB ULTRA 30 CAMERA
Looks like Garmin just leap frogged GoPro with their latest action cam, the Garmin VIRB Ultra 30 Action Camera ($499). Not only is it good looking, it is chalked full of features.

Line-X Coated Watermelon Dropped From 150-Feet
I have heard of watermelons and I have heard of Line-X. However, I have never thought about putting the two together and dropping it from a 150-foot tower. Well, these guys did and the video is worth a watch. By the way, if you haven’t heard of Line-X, it is a tough spray-on coating that […]
Kamp-Rite Tent Cot
I was recently at an outrigger race event and saw this cool/portable cot tent. Not only did it provide its owner a break from the elements but it also provided a place to change and some privacy while trying to get a nap. Another great feature of the Kamp-Rite Tent Cot ($128) is that it […]
MediPrint NovaCast 3D Printed Cast
The way we make casts hasn’t changed much in the last 50 years. We are still basically laying plaster (or its equivalent) to stabilize body parts. If you had a cast put on 20 years ago, and another today, you wouldn’t notice much difference. It is time for an upgrade. If for nothing else to […]

Good looking out Apple. One of Apple’s latest patent applications shows how they plan to catch thieves by capturing their fingerprint and uploading it for further prosecution. Whether this patent will actually make it into an Apple product is yet to be seen, but what a great idea. If transmitted, the biometric data (either fingerprint […]

Both Volvo and Uber have been trying to be the first out with a self-driving taxi. Well, at least the first to deploy it to the real world.

Tesla Model S P100D
As if the Tesla Model S wasn’t already amazing enough. I would argue it is the best car money can buy today. Well, it just got better. The newest Tesla Model S P100D (as in 100 kWh battery) has a range of 315 miles and a 0-60 time of just 2.5 seconds. Pretty much the […]
