Flight Assembled Architecture

An installation at the FRAC Centre in Orleans, France is using autonomous quadrocopter robots to build a 20-foot tall tower with 1,500 blocks.  Pretty amazing.

OrigAudio Rock-It 2.0 Speaker

While this type of speaker system isn't exactly new, it is one of the cleaner designs I have seen.  The OrigAudio Rock-It 2.0 Portable Speaker turns almost anything into a speaker.  Don't expect ear shattering sound out of this little speaker, but it sure is handy in a pinch.  Yours…

Crazy Cool Japanese Candy

You have to see it to believe it.  The Japanese have taken candy to a whole new level with some amazing imagination and candy tech.  Sadly, not sure most folks would have the patience to read the instructions let alone pull this off here in good old USofA.  You get…

Aptera Calls It Quits

The writing was on the wall when, a few months ago, Aptera started refunding customer deposits, but it is still quite sad.  I was actually on the waiting list for an Aptera 2e, and waited a loong time for what turns out to be nothing as Aptera has just announced…

Braun Cruzer 6

I am a bald dude with a goatee, so I mainly use a razor with shaving cream.  Occasionally I use a clipper/trimmer for the goatee.  More on that here. With that said, many of my friends use the electric face shavers and are always looking for improved gadgetry.  The Braun…

Tianmen Mountain Glass Skywalk

As amazing as this glass skywalk is on the side of Tianmen mountain in Zhangjiajie, China, there is no chance I am setting foot on it.  Let's just say I have seen some of the past Chinese construction failures.  With that said, this glass skywalk is 4,700 feet above sea…
