Under Armour’s MagZip = One-Handed Zippering
I applaud Scott Peters, the inventor, and Under Armour for making the one-handed zipper a reality. The zipper has remained largely unchanged for too long. Sure, you could argue that is because the zipper is pretty damn good as it stands. But, that type of thinking won't allow for cool innovations like the MagZip Zipper […]
PG&E Power Grid Attack Is Big News That Isn’t Being Talked About
Almost one year ago (April 16, 2013) a sophisticated attack took place on PGE’s Metcalf power substation in San Jose, California. First, the attackers broke in to an underground telecommunication vault and cut six AT&T fiber optic lines. Next, at 2 a.m the attackers shot over 100 rounds of ammunition (all recovered without fingerprints) at […]
Is 4K TV Already About To Be Obsolete?
Just when you were feeling all warm and fuzzy about the purchase of your new 4K TV, you start hearing about 8K TV. Yep, Japanese broadcasters at NHK are testing out 8k TV (aka Super Hi-Vision). In a test by Japanese broadcaster NHK, an uncompressed Super Hi-Vision signal was sent about 17 miles over the […]
Ekobrew = Refillable Keurig K-Cup Filter
As much as I like the idea of Keurig K-Cups and the instant nature of a their single cup coffee system, I can't get over the amount of waste one cup of coffee creates. I can live with the price of the K-Cups, just not the waste. This ingenious gadget not only saves you money […]
OneWheel Self-Balancing Electric Skateboard
Yep, a skateboard with just one wheel. Hence the name OneWheel, which is a self-balancing electric skateboard. To go forward, you lean forward. Opposite motion for stopping and backing up. As you might imagine there isn't a ton of room for batteries which means your range is about 4 to 6 miles per charge. Watch […]
BurritoBox Burrito Vending Machine
The BurritoBox Burrito Vending Machine is exactly what you think it is. This bright orange box dispenses five different kinds of burritos: roasted potato egg and cheese, chorizo egg and cheese, chicken and rice, shredded beef and cheese, and bacon egg and cheese. Unless there is a highly complicated cooking system inside of this beast, […]
iSense 3D Scanner For iPad
One of the reasons I am hesitant to purchase a 3D printer is the difficulty in designing my 3D renderings to print. While the 3D software has improved significantly I am still a bit leery. And, until now, 3D scanners were just to expensive and/or complicated. Enter the iSense 3D Scanner for iPad ($500). The […]
Report Claims To Shed Light On Upcoming iPhone 6
Oddly enough, the latest iPhone 6 specs rumor is coming from a South Korean news source (etNews). The phone is being called, by this news source, the "iPhone Air". Some of the claims of the iPhone 6 are; 6 millimeters thin (the iPhone 5s are 7.6 millimeters) Larger screen (4.7 to 5.7-inch) Phone to made […]
Hydrophobic Silic Shirt Repels Liquids
Remember the Rust-Oleum NeverWet Hydrophobic Liquid Repellant spray? This is similar, but applies to a t-shirt. The Silic shirt looks like a normal white t-shirt but it has silica particles layered in with the polyester fabric. This magic weave causes water-based liquids to to bead up and roll right off of the shirt. It doesn't […]
Motoped = Part Mountain Bike / Part Motocross
I guess I am not the only one lusting over this type of a mountain bike/motocross combination. This Motoped, DIY bike kit, is on KickStarter and has blown past its funding goal. The cool part about the Motoped idea is that each builder (aka you) can take a different route. You can upgrade the wheels, […]
