If you're on a laser hunt but "just looking for something cheap that'll burn out after a couple months," SKYtech will have to point you in a different direction. Maybe using TO-38 diodes and a 1,000mW indigo blue beam...

I'd like to see this bed-with-a-rooftop-deck design for pets scaled up to human size as well. Maybe to use as a poolside cabana or backyard lounger. A little sun, a little nap, a little sun, a little nap... Dogs and...

UMAi Dry won an award from the National Restaurant Association for its ability to turn out steak dry-aged in an ordinary refrigerator. Originally developed for commercial kitchens, UMAi's dry-aging starter kit is now...

No electricity, no batteries, no gas, just a lever and a couple of water pumps. And you. The Nomad is a completely manual espresso machine that claims to make champion-barista-quality shots inspired by classic hand-operated...

I beseech all of the people in my office who bring their raw scrambled eggs to work in normal tupperware containers, and then drop a giant sulfur bomb on the entire floor for the entire day when they decide to nuke them...

Now that your 11-year-old has an iPhone 6s, an iPod Nano, and an iPad Mini, better get him a few more USB charging ports than his 15" MacBook Pro with Retina Display provides. Hey, how about this Robot USB Hub, which...

Vacuums are pretty cool. They allow us to rid our favorite chairs of ungodly cat hair (cats belonging to our girlfriends, not ourselves), they allow us to determine the speed of light for use in mathematical equations...

No, dudes, the Cheat Sheet is not a wallet-sized card designed for recording all of your transgressions (though that probably exists somewhere out there too). In fact, it's almost the opposite: a wallet-sized card for...

Yes, it looks like like the 3D View Master you had as a kid, but it's definitely not the 3D View Master you had as a kid. This one has been upgraded to better suit your kids. And their $400 iPhones. The View-Master Virtual...

U-Pet says the transparent bubble domes built into its pet carriers give your pooches and pusses "a window to the world," but I don't know, dude, the half-petrified look on that cat's face makes me wonder if he wouldn't...

This copper-plated insulated mug combines the best looking way to drink beer--from a staunch, manly vessel--with the best tasting way to drink beer--frothy and ice cold--with the most practical way to drink beer--from...

"The fire that you choose to benefit you in your daily motion is essential." Whoa. Is Scorch Torch a manufacturer of lighters or a celebrity spiritual advisor? I just think your Triple Jet Flame butane torch is cool...

Deck the halls with boughs of...stress. Lots of them. Running in all directions through my neck and back, and with knotty protuberances spanning top to bottom. If you're going to give someone a shiatsu massage machine...

For as much as we drop, bang, and skid our smartphones and tablets, it's no wonder Urban Armor Gear began making their ultra-rugged cases. Our devices need mil-spec armor as much as the mil dudes the specs were created...

Shooting fireballs from your empty hands just got a sleeker, slyer, more compact upgrade. Ellusionist, by way of magician Adam Wilber, introduced the original Pyro open-palm fireball shooter around this time last year...

Is that an EDM show in your pocket or did I just lick a stamp I shouldn't have? Budding DJs, club kids, and general jams lovers alike, you can create big sounds using no more than your thumbs and one of Teenage Engineering's...

Wednesday morning, take...how many Wednesdays are in a year? How long have I been alive? Let's say Wednesday morning, take 1800. Ahhh, for those in the industry I'll bet the only sound sweeter than someone shouting out...

Here's a little lighter that's a little off the beaten scorched path. Its look is a little vintage and a little steampunk. Its functionality is a little like a Zippo and a little like the kerosene lamps my grandma kept...

Why doesn't my Cubicle Warfare book include a chapter on How to Build a Micro BB Crossbow? Not that I wouldn't get fired for using it at the office. But we've had these "productivity enhancement strategy consultants"...

Sure, you've seen robotic vacuums before. Those that say they'll keep your rooms free of dust, dirt, and the most evil of all floor debris evils, pet hair, while you lounge comfortably on the couch. Or cook dinner. Or...

Figment. It's a little bit of your imagination, and a little bit of jacked-up VR and AR tech to make that imagination come to life in front of, as well as behind your eyes. It's also the first virtual reality / augmented...

Items like the 10-gallon whiskey still and this stainless steel alcohol / moonshine still prove that making booze at home can be fun and worthwhile even when liquor is legal! According to TableTop Still, their DIY spirits...
