Being stranded on an island of ice off the coast of Alaska is a total buzz kill. Luckily, Vince had the iceRESC water rescue craft to save us. Otherwise, I’d most likely be drinking my own urine for nourishment.  With caterpillar tracks for easy travel in water as well as over ice, this rescue craft is far from diverse without the ability to fly.

Every second counts in rescue missions and although the iceRESC can fold up into a compact size perfect for portability, it still doesn’t remedy a stranded rock climber without flight capabilities. Slap a rotor on that bitch and maybe we’ll talk.

One crappy thing about being a professional musician in a classical orchestra is all of the masses of sheet music you have to lug around with you from venue to venue, and practice to practice. A new concept called EMS, or E-Paper Music Score, uses E-technology to make the music movable.

Made of a single flexible screen, EMS can be rolled and unrolled for great portability, with Bluetooth streaming your sheet music from a computer directly to the device. An included foot pedal lets your “turn the page” hands-free, with the next page of the score loading automatically. — Andrew Dobrow
