Finally, a product worth purchasing – and from Ikea – no less. The impossible to assemble furniture maker announced recently it’d be constructing those awesome wireless-charging nightstands and lamps you see in the hotels… for your home. I can’t effectively share how much I love this idea, and no it’s not just cuzza the name of the product they’ll be incorporating (Qi – though I do like it, ‘cause isn’t.. Read More
Space shuttle airplane by 2020?
Unless you’re in first class, business, or were born with wings – flying sucks. Even if you try to forget the obstacle course that is everything between check in and TSA to reaching your terminal and then wading through human carry-on luggage racks lining a smelly, crowded aisle of too-close seats, you still have to endure the actual flight. It’s cramped. The air’s recycled. The food has poop bugs in.. Read More
World’s tallest rollercoaster? Thanks but no thanks…
Many moons ago, in high school Psychology, I remember learning about “flooding” to conquer fears. I half thought it was a bunch of bullshit, but I was slightly more open minded then, so I gave it a try. If you slept through that class, “flooding” is basically this thing you’re meant to do when you have a fear you want to get over – just inundate yourself with the terrifying.. Read More
Change, for change’s sake!
I was still in bed when I read the email saying work payments were moving to a new app. That was my initial reaction. See, the app, which I’ve since begun using and fallen in passive lust with (‘cause it does all the work for you), is a fast cash program put out by Square. And while I’m thus far really, really, really enjoying its benefits, the morning I got.. Read More
Google glass now illegal in theaters (when wasn’t it?)
As you might expect, Google Glass isn’t allowed in theaters anymore. (I love it when an approp gif doubles as an example In this case something worth not paying to see.) I’m guessing they would’ve made it illegal from the start if there was an easier way to spot them. But since modern movie goer pirates rock four eyes instead’a one plus a patch, maybe that’s why the MPAA has.. Read More
Windowless surround-screen plane?
Would you ride in a windowless plane? I don’t mean some blind metal tampon rocketing through the sky so that cloud-god has to wonder if we’re having a party in there or dead like Schrodinger’s cat. I mean one with screens of live images blanketing the entire interior of the plane – showing what’s happening outside instead of actual windows. Because that’s what’s coming in the next ten years, apparently… Read More
May the force de-wet you…
What sorcery is THIS? I’ll let you guess via the following little quiz: 1. A high tech tool for sexy time. 2. A replica for Dubai’s next unnecessary giant revolving lounge bar at the top of a towering building that’s high enough to get an excellent view of the impoverished masses starving below as they build the next one. 3. A toy microphone collaboratively created by Fisher Price and Apple… Read More
Slabitat for humanity and the 3D apocalypese
What’s Italian, metallic, and has three arms? If you guessed “a transformer Ferrari in its transitional stages of sexy car to tower sized robot, like a transgender betwixt top and bottom surgeries”… you… might be right. And I totally applaud you for thinking outside the box. But just for today, we’re going to go ahead acknowledge someone else who thought outside the box – by making life-sized boxes for the..

Facial recognition charges by the laugh – and worse.
About a year ago, I went to see Russell Brand perform live. It was about two hours of non-stop awesomery lighting up the stage. I hate sitting in any kind of theater for a prolonged period of time, but the next-level content of the jokes made time seem to stop altogether. I only had to get up once or twice to stretch. The rest of the duration, I was lost.. Read More
Bar challenges patrons to survive socializing sans smartphone.
“Bar Creates Custom Glasses To Curb Cell Phone Use”. Mhmm. Mmkay. Intrigued enough to click. I’ll bite. Yeah. More’a this. I mean, it doesn’t take much meandering through my site to know I’m exactly one and a half Miley “news” updates away from moving into a treehouse and growing out a wedding train of arm pit hair for my jungle prince visitors to Rapunzel up and repel down. And that.. Read More
