2010 is the year fabrication technology and 3D printing came to the masses�or at least to Brooklyn. But is this a good thing?

While swimming is almost always a blast (save for when your boat capsizes), having a soaking wet swimsuit riding up your crack has never been a pleasure. A new company from Brooklyn called Sun Dry Swim is looking to change ass cracks around the world with a new nanotechnology that repels water from the swimsuit. The result is a self-drying ...

Designed by one Katie Sokoler, these giant thought bubbles were pasted all around Brooklyn, NY. People walk by, stop to look and next thing you know, a fantastic photo opportunity has presented itself.
