Electroshock Football/Soccer
This video shows an interesting twist on the sport of football/soccer. As if playing football/soccer isn’t tough enough on its own. Each player is strapped with an electroshock device on their upper thigh. The shocks are delivered wirelessly from sadomasochists sitting on the sidelines. It must hurt pretty bad considering the way the players react when […]
La Roche-Posay My UV Patch
We know that the suns rays can cause skin damage and increase our risk of skin cancer. However, the beaches and poolsides are still packed with people laying out in the sun. Brave? Stupid?

Painting Street Letters

Nest Outdoor Camera
I happen to like my Dropcam Pro cameras (rebranded to the Nest Cam). While not perfect, they are pretty good at capturing and uploading HD video to the Google cloud. One of the largest gripes about the Nest Cam was the fact that it can’t go outdoors. Sure there are a few good cases that […]
