Joel McHale With Vodka, Guns And A Bulletproof Suit… ACTION (Video)
September 15, 2014
Bahaaaha! Remember that writeup from a while back on bulletproof clothing (here)? Maybe? Well, you definitely won’t forget this hilarious spin sitcom and talk show cutup Joel McHale puts on the fashion forward choice in attire… and his chosen beverage.
My journeys have brought me here: A strange land the locals call Canada. Where the people are polite, the bacon is round, and the menswear… is bulletproof.
And shout out to nanotechnology (the geek in me gets geeked) in the suits!
Alright let’s go to the gun range and blast the sh!t out of this thing!
And have a drink afterward. Alcohol and guns. Yeah, that’ll work out fine. Watch and be amused… and a little afraid.

Kickstarter: Massive Ammo For Your Next Water Balloon Fight (Video)
July 30, 2014
Maaann! This should be out NOW! Heads would getting splatted!! Haaaa. Water balloon fights were the best back in the day, but chances are you could only have one, two… maybe three on deck for the battle. Not a lot of ammo for a ‘sustained battle.’ And how many balloons popped or split at the lip when filling or stretching them over the faucet/spigot to start? Well, no more.
Yeah. Tinnus Enterprises’ Kickstarter page promises that Bunch O Balloons will fill and tie 100 water balloons in less than 1 minute. Oh, and for those who don’t care or don’t care for fun in general (haters). It doesn’t matter. Because the Kickstarter campaign is over 6900% funded. In fact, Tinnus is taking pre-orders right now for this party product (anticipated to market Spring-Summer 2015)!
Kudos to inventor Josh Malone (and his testers kids).

July 15, 2014
Daaaaaamn! How can you tell that your product idea is a smash? Well, put it up on Kickstarter with a $50,000 funding goal…and get over $4 million from online investors!!! That’s the Coolest cooler; and folks have invested en mass because they believe that a cooler with a built-in blender, ice crusher, waterproof USB speaker (networkable to smartphones’ music apps) and USB charger (to charge/recharge those smartphones) will sell like hotcakes on a Saturday morning!
Hey, watch the video…it is that cool of a cooler. The Coolest!
(Promised a first-run cooler for my Kickstarter money… How about a return on investment? With a decent expected payout I would buy my own Coolest cooler with the proceeds!)

Technology: AirDog, A Personal Quadcopter Camcorder System (Video)
June 18, 2014
95% funded on Kickstarter. This is happening!
AirDog is a personal quadcopter camcorder system designed to automatically follow and film users with a GoPro camera. The AirDog system includes the quadcopter, an AirLeash wireless device used by the quadcopter to track users, a device used to stabilize any attached GoPro camera, software and other enabling technologies (including an optional smartphone app to manually control the quadcopter). The designers’ vision is that the AirDog be used to better record extreme sports.
Why confine yourself to stationary videos, or ground-level perspective? The AirDog takes things to a whole new level!
Check out the video. Exciting visuals, with angles akin to what you would get on television broadcasts.

How To Make Your Smartphone Float In Mid-Air (Video)
June 12, 2014
Where’s the smartphone? Over there… on The Magic Phone Stand… charging and floating! Well, sorta. The phone stand is a smartphone case made and marketed in cooperation with Martinka Magic (New Jersey, USA); and it employs a stiff charging cable that also unctions as a phone stand. The phone, placed in the stand, makes it appear as though the phone is floating in mid-air. The product should be available to the consumer market (you and me) in September 2014.

Technology: 3D Print Your Dinner With ‘Foodini’ (Video)
January 22, 2014
Hungry? Bet you are. Why not help yourself to chocolate treats. You can get them over there… off the printer!
Wait wha-?
Yep. Of course, this ‘printer’ is not a regular printer. This 3D printer is not too much unlike Cody Wilson’s 3D printer for guns (earlier post here). There is one glaring difference: what comes out of the Foodini is meant to go into your mouth. What comes out of the printed gun…nah.
Very interesting (and tasty) application of 3D printing tech.

Technology: Technical Illusions’ castAR Augmented Reality Glasses (Video)
December 31, 2013
Not just Virtual Reality (VR) but Augmented Reality (AR) Glasses. See, with VR, everything is virtual – part of the interface, not real (e.g. the ‘reality’ is created). However, AR can include physical objects as part of its interface and wearers’ interactions (e.g. the interface includes real things you can touch). I can see gaming applications for this. Sure. Imagine your friends traveling out to your house, excited about the ‘boom boom room’ you’re adding to your home…next year! Yeah, I can see AR glasses “completing” the construction virtually. And, of course, there will be military applications (but I’m not ranting on that over the holidays… nope… keeping it ‘holiday cheery’ man).
So, check this out. The folks at the Tested channel put on Technical Illusions’ castAR glasses at Maker Faire 2013. Watch the clips and chats above, with founders Jeri Ellsworth and Rick Johnson.

Brick City’s Own Shaquille O’Neal Says, “The Streets Didn’t Break Me. They Made Me!” (Video)
November 14, 2013
Shaq-Fu roaming “Brick City” high school hallways with Hip-Hop notable Reggie Noble (aka Redman). Above: Shaquille O’Neal in his new Reebok “Brick City†commercial; the four-time NBA Champion (15-time All-Star) visiting his old high school in Newark (New Jersey, USA) to convey a thoughtful message… eventually making his way round the way to hoop and hang with some fellow Newark natives, Redman included.
“Playing here wasn’t a privilege, it was a dream.†– Shaquille O’Neal
A trip down memory lane. And just because, let’s go further down that block and meet up with Chip Fu (still doing it in the “Paint” himself…see earlier post), Moc Fu, and Poc Fu (after the jump). Can We Rock?

Technology: DJI Innovations’ Phantom 2 Vision Quadcopter (Video)
November 4, 2013
‘What makes our Phantom 2 Vision unique is its ability to stream live video down to your smartphone.’
– Paul Pan, DJI Representative
And we could stop right there! Some of the coolest tech coming out. DJI Innovations put out a GPS-enabled Phantom quadcopter – the go-to aerial platform for the GoPro HERO actioncam – last year. Now, they got that Phantom 2 Vision coming… with improved battery life, a video-stabilizing platform and an included HD video camera that allows for first-person-view via a mobile device.
Eye-in-the-sky fun for anyone who gets one. Backyard sunbathers beware… hahaaa.

Kyrie Irving Is Back With His Latest “Uncle Drew” Commercial (Video)

The Electric Superbike Of The Future (Video)
October 25, 2013
Conventional combustion engine motorcycles vs. Mission Motorcycle’s electric superbike. Way less mechanical noise with much the same speed, Mission’s RS model (above) is a limited-edition, top-end bike.
The RS’s electric motor produces a huge-but-not-unheard-of 160 horsepower; the 130 foot-pounds of torque puts it at least in the superbike world. Even then, the bike’s lack of a transmission means going from zero to 60, which takes less than three seconds, requires nary a shift. Hitting its limited top speed of 150 miles an hour requires little more than twisting the throttle and holding on.
– Vice Motherboard
For $58,999, you get the best suspension, carbon wheels, and perhaps the most advanced gauge, navigation, and telemetry system available on a bike. It’s worth the money, if you have it. Today’s concept is almost as good as current gas-powered peers… almost…

Technology: You Can Have A Flying Car In Your Garage In 2015 (Video)
October 16, 2013
Might as well face it… the future of private transportation WILL include aircraft! We already posted on the James Bond-esque seaplane coming out. Cool, but you need 750 feet of clear water or land strip to take off or land. Enter Terrafugia’s flying concept TF-X car, slated to go to market in 2015… no pilot’s license required, can fit in a standard garage, and will VERTICALLY TAKE OFF AND LAND! Yeah. You could fly out of traffic jams. Terrafugia is already testing a flying car for pilots. This is happening people.

Technology: Do You Want To Know When You’re Going To Die? Check Your Tikker (Video)
October 8, 2013
“Dubbed the ‘death watch,’ Tikker has been created by Swedish inventor Fredrik Colting but far from being morbid, Colting calls it ‘The Happiness Watch’ and claims it has been designed to help people make the most of their life and cherish the time they have left.”
– DailyMail UK
The way it works: Users fill out a questionnaire about their medical history before subtracting their age from the results to get their death score. This score is entered into the watch and the countdown begins.
