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 […]
Uber To Offer Free Rides In Its Self-Driving Cars This Month
It is no surprise that the ride hailing service (Uber, Lyft, Ride, etc…) that wants to win the war needs to have self-driving cars. Today, having human drivers is the only way to go, but this will surely change. Imagine a fleet of cars that has flawless (mostly, and surely to improve with time) drivers, […]

Norton Motorcycles New V4 Superbike
Remember Norton Motors? Most likely the answer is no. Norton went out of business in 1975 I believe. Old crusty fellows with nostalgia for the bike brand have been talking about reviving it for years. Well, it looks like their dream might be coming true with the Norton V4 1200cc motorcycle. To be totally fair, they […]

DJI is now doubling down on their commitment to these flying quadcopters with a 15,000 sq ft training facility in Yogin, South Korea. The […]
3D Model Of All TSA Master Keys Now Available Online
I am not a big fan of the TSA screeners. They are often, but not always, a few clicks above brainless zombies. As a kicker, they are also often quite rude. I have had more than a few run-ins with stupid and rude TSA employees. I could go on… but won’t. I will say that […]
Personal Octocopter Carries Owner/Builder
A Youtuber, AmazingDIYProjects, shows off his 8-blade giant copter. This octocopter uses eight gas engines and a remote control to fly. Pretty amazing and certainly scary. I hate to think what would happen if a motor or two fails. Hoping this becomes the commuter car of the future.
