We knew wearable technology was going to get
weird eventually, but we didn't expect it to get this weird, this fast.
The HeadWatch is smartwatch design with a twist – a touchscreen body
that pops off and doubles as a headset. Wearers get the usual smartwatch
notifications, but they can also stick the watch in their ears to take
calls. Read More
Mortars are one of the oldest forms
of artillery, evolving from devices that fired stone projectiles a few
hundred meters to become a mainstay of any modern army's arsenal. Benét
Laboratories is continuing this evolution by tweaking the 120-mm mortar
system currently used by the US Army to increase range, reduce weight,
improve user safety and cut costs. Read More 
Following in the virtual footsteps of Tupac Shakur,
at the SXSW festival last weekend Japanese musical icon Yoshiki used a
hologram not just in an attempt to add a little flair to his
performance, but to indulge those fans who can't quite get enough of
him. Read More 
The Goodyear blimp
may have been flying around for almost 90 years, but it still manages
to turn heads. On Friday, there was another reason to look beyond
nostalgia for the days of the great airships of old as Goodyear unveiled
its new state-of-the-art blimp to the media, Goodyear associates and
dealers at its Wingfoot Lake hangar in Suffield, Ohio. Built in
partnership with the Zeppelin company, the new craft that replaces the
45-year old GZ-20 blimp fleet is not only larger and faster, it isn’t
even a blimp, but a semi-rigid airship. Read More
It becomes difficult for boats to stand out when
they're stuffed into an expo center segmented into row after row of
seafaring vessels and marine hardware. Even massive yachts and striking
boat concepts can start to look alike after a few passes through a boat
show. One boat that did grab our attention at the Boot Dusseldorf show
earlier this year is the new Frauscher 858 Fantom, a V8-powered craft
inspired by German and Italian sports cars. Read More
Ask someone to list off the world's most
innovative bicycles, and chances are that they'll mention some
mass-produced bikes made by big-name manufacturers. The fact is, though,
it's more often the smaller, independent builders that are doing the
real innovating. For the past 10 years, many of them have been showing
off their latest builds at the North American Handmade Bicycle Show
(NAHBS). We attended this year's event, which took place last weekend in
Charlotte, North Carolina. Here's a look at some of the things that
really caught our eye. Read More

We're spoilt with high-quality film and
television nowadays, and there are an increasing number of websites on
which you can watch the content you're after. Sometimes, however,
websites and content are restricted based on the country in which you
live. This article explains how you can bypass these restrictions. Read More
Perhaps due to the fact that the challenge of
designing viable tiny homes pushes architects to come up with creative
space-saving solutions, the tiny house movement is bursting with great ideas.
The latest such dwelling to come to our attention, dubbed ESCAPE, is a
37 sq m (400 sq ft) home that boasts a handsome design, lots of
customizable options (including operating completely off-grid), and
legal status as an RV. Read More
Keychains do the job they're meant
to do perfectly adequately. But is there a better way of carrying keys
and other small objects? Tamir Bar-Ilan and Kobi Hazum from Las Vegas
believe there is, and that it comes in the form of Panny. Read More 
Hemingway is a simple web app designed to help
writers write simpler copy. You can't save documents, share them,
organize them or comment on them. You just paste in your text, follow
its advice, and copy it to get it out again. But it's very effective.
