The Carma Project is a really neat project, sponsored by ad firm Leo Burnett Lisbon. They created a bike with as many reclaimed car parts as possible, watch the video below!

What a sweet looking little renovated NYC apartment. This 240-square-foot shoebox with sleeping loft was designed by Brooklyn architect Tim Seggerman, who renovated this Upper West Side brownstone studio into what it is today. His solution was to insert what he calls a “crafted jewel box” into the undersize space, creating an enveloping cabin of blond woods. “It’s basically a piece of woodwork,” says Seggerman. “I’m very proud of that.” There are cabinets of cypress and bamboo; a gently chamfered ash-and-beech staircase; flooring of quartered white oak; a desk of red birch slats that slips out into the living space... And a nook creates a cubby-like library to crawl into.

Want to have more control over your devices without using camera-based gestures? The Myo Gesture Control Armband ($150) is a new innovative input device that communicates with your PC, Mac, Phone, Tablet over Bluetooth 4.0 and uses proprietary muscle sensors as well as a 6-axis motion sensor to track your movements. The muscle sensors are advanced enough that it can detect changes in gestures down to the each finger, and because your muscles pick up the signal to move before they actually do, you may see it respond before you even move. How crazy would that be?
