Tiki Humor

Upon holding the Tricorder near a power adapter plugged into the wall, you could see the oscillating magnetic fields on the magnetometer visualization. There they were, slowly bouncing back and forth, right in front of you… More educational discoveries came quickly — from finding all the heat leaks from different building materials in my graduate student apartment in a century home, to how much humidity is exhaled in a breath… And from that moment on, it seemed like much of the mystery of how they worked I now understood — I could think about what was going on inside them easier and more naturally, now that I had this visual grounding of the science going on inside. This is why I built the Tricorder.

D’you realize how much energy you’re wasting right now, just sitting there breathing? Yeah, stop killing the environment, you jerk! Just put on thisy here AIRE mask, and all of that tedious in-and-out will turn into power for your cellphone.

WARNING: Them titties is fake!

Here’s a video of a headless robot running over 18 mile and hour. Just a reminder, the average running speed of a healthy person is around 10 miles and hour.

I had no idea that a nanosecond was so damn large!

If you want to control your computer by just waving your hands in the air, you could do something challenging like hacking a Kinect system, or you could simply get this Tom Cruise in Minority Report style mousing glove.

Hope that it’s easily cleaned

A little less advanced than Luke’s arm, but still incredibly impressive.

music is boring, but the visuals are pretty cool.

Back to the Future Hover Board: Finally! This totally awesome 1:1 replica of the hover board from the BTTF 2 and BTTF 3 films includes multiple whooshing sounds and will glide over most surfaces (does not actually “hover” – check back in 2015 for that feature). We’ll be taking orders for it March 1 – March 20, 2012, and the final product will be shipped around November/December 2012. Because this is such a high-cost item, there will be a minimum number of orders required to go into production. If we don’t receive the minimum orders, won’t go into production and customers will not be charged. The price will be announced later this month. (Note: Hover board does not work on water.)
