3D Printer Prints Bikini

May 10, 2012 By - Leave a Comment

Yes you heard the headline right.  Print a Bikini with your 3D printer.  How do I find these things… well this one is from gigaom.com – The company’s website is www.continuumfashion.com - Now that said they do have a shop. But the sell it by the pieces and for some reason the Bikini bottom isn’t for sale.  You will need to dish out a couple of grand for the left and right cup and the straps.  Although it might be cheaper just to buy the 3D printer and make your own clothing.

Just a review of what 3D printing is: Instead of molding something the way most manufactures work, 3D printing linear prints the material.  This means it takes a 3D drawing from a computer file and layer by layer creates the product. This means no big assembly line and no waste. When they come out with 3D printed boxers, then I might be more interested.

Where would we be without a video of this fine piece of Fashion.

Do you Pebble?

May 9, 2012 By - Leave a Comment

Pebble is a Kickstarter product that has raised over 9 Million dollars so far.  This idea is so simple (not technically speaking) that I’m surprised no one has anything on the market like this so far.  The small watch links through bluetooth to your smart phone (iPhone) and acts as an extended remote control.  With many different applications on the watch that link and use the power of your smartphone.  Instead of always looking at your phone, you can quickly access items from your phone on your watch. Watch the video below to get the big picture and take a look at the Pebble Kickstarter page.

LawnBott sit back and let the robots cut your grass

April 20, 2012 By - Leave a Comment

I loved the movie Walle.  A world were little robots did all the work for us and we grew big and fat.  We’ll scratch off the big and fat part and you have my utopia. The future is upon us.  The LawnBott is real.  A lawnmower that cuts the lawn for you.  No sweating in the 100 degree summer heat mowing your own long.  You just put the robot down, turn him on, and swing in your hammock with a beer.  It’s the outdoor equivalent to Roomba.  Sit back and awe over your future lawn boy, LawnBott.

Apple goes to the Stars while Siri gets Sued

April 18, 2012 By - Leave a Comment

Does the iPhone really need celebrities to promote it?  I guess it does.  Two new iPhone ads came out recently that have Zoey Deschanel and Samuel L. Jackson.  Its funny since Apple has been sued over the past month for false advertisements on Siri’s functions. I personally use Siri once in a while and find it works fine.  Like most products it’s never going to work as advertised.  Apple isn’t going to put an advertisement out with Siri responding “I do not Understand”.

In the end Siri is great for quick information, like weather and reminders.  That’s about it.  The technology will get better and maybe one day you can have a conversation with your phone.  For the mean time let’s see how the Celebrities use Siri!
