First Ever Shoe With A Built-in Microcomputer
What’s Black and White and looks like two Double Stuff Oreo cookies on your feet? It’s the Adidas Micropacer, Venice Carnival Edition Sneakers. I hate the word “sneakers” – Let’s go with “running shoes”. This edition is a tribute to the festival of masks. OK??? Now here’s the geeky coolness factor – these “running […]

I Have A WaveRunner But Really Want A Boat
This gadget, from Fun Factory, turns your Yamaha WaveRunner into a boat, and I kinda like it. At first glance I thought it was a bit dorky. I wouldn’t want to be the guy pulling up to the dock on a “fake” boat. However, the more I looked into it… the more I started seeing […]
Fifth Gear: Lotus Exige S vs. Caterham CSR260
Fifth Gear’s Vicki Butler-Henderson compares the Lotus Exige S to the Caterham CSR260 in this episode. Amazing to watch such light weight go-carts rip up the track. My favorite part is the Caterham falling apart as it races around the track. Watch the video to see who wins.
