Solar Table

You may have noticed my solar fetish by now… I love solar!  The Sun Table is a stainless steel and teak table with a built in 64 Watt unbreakable (the unbreakable part is questionable) solar panel, and a rechargeable battery (4 hours of good sun will charge the battery).  The…

Another Robot Dog, Only Smaller

First came the Boston Dynamics “Big Dog”, then came the hilarious “Big Dog Spoof”… now there is the Boston Dynamics “LittleDog”. The little dog is smaller (duh) and quieter than the original. These robots are starting to worry me a bit… all of those old “robots taking over the world”…

Axon Anti-Gravity RC Hovercraft – The Razorback

I love remote control gadgets… cars… boats… planes… helicopters… etc… So when I saw the video for the Axon Razorback RC hovercraft I pee’d a little. The Razorback will go 25mph right out of the box… but can go 50mph (won’t take 2 minutes to crash it at those speeds)…

Like Disneyland… But Very Different… Diggerland

Whether you think heavy machinery fills a void from previous vacations to Disneyland or not… you have to admit… this unique theme park is cool.  Diggerland is a theme park that features real earth moving heavy equipment that kids and adults get to operate.  They have dump trucks, back hoes,…
