Remember those days when you use to be able to throw a snowball at someone without hurting yourself. Well you're in luck, now you can use the
Crossbow Snow Launcher ($40) and once again join the snowball fight. It's simple to use, just load a snowball into the front, pull back the lever, and fire that icy projectile at someone face. It goes up to 60 feet and it also includes a snowball press for those that have trouble even making snowballs. (This does occur). If shooting snowballs is not your thing, then use it to fling meatballs.

The Carpenter is just the beginning for this series of short films regarding the art & science of professionals working with their hands. The way in which this video was shot was excellent with its use of motion tracking to point out different tools and unseen plans of the carpenter. It may be only a 1:41 but I'm impressed with his work. I took shop class and all but I couldn't do that. The most I could do was make a clock lamp.
Looking forward to seeing more video's by
Deep Green Sea.

The Cabin, a platform high up on a sharp hillside overlooking the Lule River valley in Sweden. It's part of the
Treehotel which is a themed hotel park consisting of tree house designs by some of the leading Scandinavian architects. There are currently 24 rooms planned, with six now available for booking for about $600 a night.
This Cabin is like a capsule, a foreign body in the trees. It offers a view that would make anyone want to stay here. It also has an interior that is just as cozy as the surroundings. Even the trip to your hotel in the trees is a breathtaking adventure. Don't forget to check out the
other 5 rooms available to book on your next trip to Sweden.
Google has joined with
Samsung to produce the
Galaxy Nexus (TBA). This new phone will be the first to run the whole redesigned Andriod 4.0 or a.k.a Ice Cream Sandwich. Why they named it that I have no idea but it was bad naming. Yeah, what's your phone running? It's running "Ice Cream Sandwich". Really Google? I'm going to have to give you an F for your failure in naming the new Andriod 4.0.
Now let's talk about some of the features on this new phone. It will be sporting a 4.65 inch; 720p high-definition sAMOLED curved Contour Display, LG LTE or HSPA+data, a 1.2GHz dual core processor, NFC technology for instant sharing of content and
Google Wallet support. It also has Face Unlock a feature that gives you access to your phone using nothing but your mug, and a 5 megapixel rear camera with a LED flash boasting a single-motion panorama capability and a 1.3 megapixel front-facing cam, and 1080p video recording.
I think I found the phone that will be replacing my Google Nexus One?
Someone is requesting you to play at their house party but you don't want to carry around all your equipment. Then the
Numark DJ2Go ($60) will be your new little buddy. This small sized DJ controller can be set up easily with one plug of a USB, letting you DJ an entire set using real controls. DJ2Go features two platters, a crossfader, pitch and levels, Deck A, Deck B, Master, and Headphone gain controls, and it's compatible with nearly any MIDI-complaint software. It also comes with a special edition of Virtual DJ software, designed to mate perfectly with the capabilities of the controller. So no tweaking is needed but don't worry, if you wanted to tweak the controller you can. This little guy is good for the price and for people who are starting out as a Virtual DJ.
If anyone has one let me know what you think of it.
When you look at this house it looks very small, but don't let the outside sway your opinion till you see the inside.
Mizuishi Architect Atelier has designed a house that was built on a triangle site which the river and the way were crossed and made to the acute angle. The architect wanted to build the house with various relations to the river.
On the inside the level+1 floor is divided into small areas by structural narrow walls, which connected with the ridge line of the roof. So there are different open feelings that are still relative with the river. The dinning and kitchen area on the west side of the home have high ceiling to give it that larger feeling. The living area has low ceilings and has full-opening windows on both sides as a balcony and a bay window that spreads outward with a feeling of floating. The loft in the home has two skylights, one looking down at the river and the other looking up at the sky. This homes with it's spacious interior is clean, elegant and offers enough space for the whole family. For the space and the way that it was built I find the house to be very functional and great space utilization.
