A first? Muslim woman refuses to submit to airport body scan, not allowed to board flight
Posted on March 4, 2010 | No CommentsIt finally happened. A Muslim woman in Manchester refused to submit to a full-body airport body scanner and was thus barred from boarding her flight. She cited her Muslim faith, which might have been expected, as to why she refused to submit to the scan. I don't trust the Internet to react to this news with any aplomb whatsoever.

Fancy having your own hovercraft? Want one that'll take off and fly? Well a New Zealand man designed, built, and flies his very own flying hovercraft. The drawback - you have to launch and land from on the water in order to actually be able to fly.

Let your geek flag fly with official Xmen TVs
Posted on March 2, 2010 | No CommentsWord has come down that Marvel has licensed some of their characters to TV builder RTC23. No, I’ve never heard of them either, but apparently someone has since they are now producing the official “ultimate comic book fan” television.

Swarming helicopters create 3D display
Posted on February 18, 2010 | No CommentsIf we’re going to be killed by swarming robots, they might as well look good doing it. Scientists at the MIT SENSEable City lab created a 3D display using tiny remote controlled helicopters that float in patterns in the air and light up, thereby creating a volumetric display. Called the Flyfire, it seems that this is [...] -

This is obviously not this particular hobbyists first experience with helicopters; he's actually built an 8 rotor version as well.

Warner Bros. looking to reboot Superman movie franchise. Again.
Posted on February 9, 2010 | No CommentsGet ready for another movie franchise re-boot! Yes, Warner Bros. wants to re-boot Superman, and it wants Christopher Nolan to sorta oversee the project, but not direct it. You'll recall that Mr. Nolan successfully re-booted Batman, the silliness of the second film notwithstanding. Money is money.

Review: Praesto Modern Fliegeruhr
Posted on January 25, 2010 | No Comments
In the vast pantheon of watches, the aviator is a timeless paragon of virtue and class. Traditionally given to folks who fly in planes (hence the term "aviator"), these watches were larger than standard watches and often had big crowns for easy winding. The IWC Big Pilots Watch is a classic in the form, with the clear, legible numbers and top triangular noon pip.
But, like great paintings, watches often stray from form, and often with positive results. If the Big Pilots Watch is "Whistler's Mother" then the Praesto Modern Fliegeruhr is Warhol's Campbell's Soup cans. At once this watch is an homage, a little work of art, and a sly dig at the stuffy establishment.

adidas miCoach Pacer tracks your heart rate, helps you get fit at your own speed
Posted on January 7, 2010 | No CommentsAgainst all the odds, I have found something genuinely interesting at CES. (Seriously, if you don't like 3D TV you'd better go home.) It's the adidas miCoach Pacer, a handy little device that measures your heart rate while you exercise. The device records all sorts of data, including calories burned, miles walked/ran, and stride length, and then syncs that to the miCoach Web site. From here you can customize your workouts to plan and execute healthy a nice little routine for yourself. It's primarily aimed at runners, but can be used anytime you get your heart a-pumpin'.

Unassuming cap sports hidden camcorder
Posted on December 31, 2009 | No Comments
Pardon me, miss? I’d just like to tell you that I think your hat is fly. Dope, even. Too bad you’ll never remember my face. Memorize it now and then lose me forever. Unless, of course, you’ve somehow got a camcorder hidden in that thing! That’s unlikely, as your hat is far too stylish to be a technology product.
