Small projectors are nothing new. But most involve a lot of compromises, either in the maximum resolution or brightness and other features. The UO Smart Beam Laser Projector ($420)offers both 720p resolution and 60 lumes of brightness in a cube that measures just 2.2 inches in each direction. As the name suggests, it uses an advanced laser diode and LCOS tech to project your images up to 150" in size, accepts wireless and HDMI input, and has a battery life of up to two hours, or just long enough to catch a movie in the backyard.

The Jug Rock Kayak House located in Westport, MA looks like a house retreat I would like to stay at. Once home to a boat house destroyed by the hurricane of 1932, this formation of Jug rocks currently sits empty and ideal. The Jug Rock Kayak House is a single room retreat. It is meant as a place of relaxation and repose, a kayak ride destination. The single space contains a library, storage, and bed elevated a few steps above entry level. The small building is lifted off the level of the rock and cantilevered out over the water, facing the dramatic Westport sunsets. What do you think of this house?
The Homestead Hook ($38) is a new product created by Domenic Fiorello Studio.The form of the Homestead hook is made using the technique of bent lamination, a technique mastered by the Eames Studio.

Try one in the kitchen for your hand towels, or scatter multiples across a living room wall for a great accent to your space.

The Ford Motor Company has announced plans to implement Smart Mobility Plan. The corporation has unveiled the MoDe:Flex concept an eBikethat provides hands-free, turn-by-turn navigation while tracking your heart rate. It also bring all the real-time data to your smartwatch as well.
Connecting to users' smartphones by utilizing the MoDe:Link app, the MoDe:Flex provides up to the minute information pertaining to navigation, weather, time and traffic, among other features.
A user with a smartwatch can then activate a feature such as "no sweat" mode, which, based on the rider's heart rate, can increase electric pedal assist to ensure a rider does not break a sweat. So, for those bike riders who have the issue of showing up to drenched in sweat, there's an app for that.
There is even more to this eBike. Ford also announced that the wearable device comes with safety notifications. Like when your about to hit a pothole. The handlebars will trigger a vibration and the smartwatch will beep as a warning signal. So that your face doesn't get notified by the pavement.
Check out the video below for more information. It will get you pumped about this eBike!
