Tell me this wouldn’t have come in handy during Hurricane Katrina. Made out of dunnage bags, Malafor’s Blow Sofa is a mobile piece of furniture which lends its self to easy transportation thanks to its ability to flatten into two empty bags. Both inexpensive and easy to replace, the Blow Sofa appears to be just as comfy as an air mattress. Sort of like an oxygen-filled bean bag, without the beans. Not to mention it would double as an excellent... Continue reading

I’ve been on the market for weapons now for a decent amount of time, and it seems everywhere I turn there are just more and more weapons made to cause no physical pain or damage to your enemies. What’s the point? To have fun? Screw fun. Where’s the blood? Now that’s fun! Despite my obvious blood-lust, I can see the several uses an AirZooka might perform. Disheveling your enemies hair from a distance could be fun, I guess. Does your... Continue reading

Is this a museum? An art installation? Absolutely not. This is an airplane and its destination is Switzerland. Swiss Airlines is offering up gorgeous work cubicles for its fliers who need to get work done in style. Need Internet? No problem. A little TV for you, sir? Of course, of course. While my boss, Steve Rufer, will gladly visit me in America using Swiss, I’m forced to crawl into an over sized duffel bag. He then sneaks me back in... Continue reading

Nike is no stranger to designing lightweight footwear. An old pair of Air Mercurial Vapor IVs I used to own were the lightest shoes I had ever touched on this planet. Now Nike is telling me that I’m an idiot and that these $400 Mercurial Vapor SL (“Super Lite”) shoes are the next generation of Nike. Designed for soccer, these shoes weigh a total of 190 grams and are made up of some material called Tepex that’s normally used in... Continue reading

Now, this is interesting. An electric paper plane launcher kit that you put together yourself. Too bad the entire point of crafting a paper airplane is to wing it at someones head. With this launcher, you not only miss out on choosing your targets, but you also waste precious time building it. Time that’s better spent putting together more paper airplanes for your paper air force. Please, don’t spend $16 dollars on this thing. Just look at it and laugh.... Continue reading

I don’t understand why I can’t spend three hours in the shower or courtesy flush twice during a massive number two. Why is water such a precious and conserved commodity when we have devices like the WaterMill which extracts the water from air? This glorified dehumidifier is placed on the outside of your house and brings fresh water in to your home all day long. It will draw in up to 12 liters of water each day and distribute the...

A MacRumors forum member purchased a used Macbook Air off eBay “as-is” and ended up getting a prototype model of the Macbook Air. The bottom is a black material and there’s no “Macbook Air” written on the screen’s bezel. It also features an interim build of Mac OS X 10.5. The buyer found out that the MBA was produced around May 2007, a whole six months before the Macbook Air’s debut. Wild stuff. I’m not sure if I’d want to... Continue reading

At first, these shoes don’t look much like a classic Nintendo Entertainment System. Look closer. These kicks have D-pads printed around them. Look even closer. See the “Start” button? It’s trying very hard to look like the one on the controller. Definitely a cool design, but is it cooler than Hennessy’s Cognac Kicks? Absolutely not. Not even close. There is no way Nike shoes modeled after an NES will get you half  the recognition high-tops with a Hennessy logo on... Continue reading

In a world of good-guy smugglers and noble Jedi, one Sith must instill fear any way he can. That’s why Darth Vader built this hot air balloon. Not just because the town fare is approaching and Vader wanted to make sure he’ll be soaring high next to the Yogi bear and Batman inflatables but because Vader wishes to scare away would-be padawan learners with his hot air balloon visage.  Be careful: one collision with a Star Destroyer and it’s all...

The practical uses for unmanned aerial vehicles are proving limitless. Once used for espionage and photography, these airborne spy bots just fell victim to a role reversal: they’ve gone from spy to medic. Well, while they don’t exactly heal wounds out on the battlefield, they do provide air transport for supplies needed in dire situations. Think of them as carrier bots. The South African National Health Laboratory Service has been testing prototype UAVs designed to transport testing materials and medical... Continue reading
