I'm sure that we all have photo's laying around in a box or a photo album sitting on a shelf somewhere. Instead of buying a scanner to digitize them, use the highly capable camera in your phone and the PhotoScan app from Google. It uses specialized algorithms to detect edges, correct perspective, rotate as needed, and stitch multiple exposures together to get rid of glare. It also integrates seamlessly with Google Photos, and as with nearly all software from Mountain View, it's completely free. So go get your scan on and try it today!
The Shinola Runwell Turntable is the first in a new line of audio products from the Detroit-based brand. It was a collaboration with Henry Weisfeld, founder of high-end manufacturer VPI. The platter and tonearm components are made with precision, while the electronic components are produced by American Board in New Jersey. The components are then placed in an oak base, and assembled in Detroit. It's finished with a custom leather slip-mat and custom-built cartridge, resulting in a new American audio classic that will sound and look great for years to come. Initially produced in a limited run of 500, The Runwell is a precision crafted piece: it delivers high quality audio and is ready to use out of the box. Currently you can pre-order yours today!

Dubbed the Microsoft Surface Studio ($2,999.00), its signature feature is its 28-inch PixelSense Display that boasts 13.5 million pixels and is mounted to a pair of arms that let it lower and rotate backward, becoming a giant drawing pad for the Surface Pen and new Surface Dial, which is amazing! Otherwise the specs are much what you'd expect, with with bottom case housing an Intel Core i5 or i7 processor, an Nvidia GeForce GPU, and up to 32GB of RAM to keep those creative apps humming. It is due to ship in 2017 and already you can pre-order this new Surface Studio PC.

Now here is a beautiful private, three-leveled bungalow in Sri Lanka that was built by Narein Perera. The hut-like hideaway is made of steel, timber and bamboo, situated on top of a huge estate at the border of the Sri Lankan jungle. This allows an unspoiled view over the valley below and the hills beyond.
The architecture is inspired by the form of the so-called Chena Watch-Hut. The watch-huts are elevated refugees for Sri Lankan farmers to protect their cultivation overnight. The Estate Bungalow serves the owner to oversee the functioning of his estate, too, while resting and getting together with the family all at once.

The Mag-Lev Audio Levitating Turntable floats in the air, holding your favorite albums in a friction-free spin above the main unit. It uses patented technology to maintain precise magnetic tuning of the platter's spin, which can play a 33 or 45 rpm with the turn of a button. A Pro-Ject 8.6 tonearm and Ortofon OM 5E cartridge make sure your music always sounds great, and a semi-automatic system returns the tonearm when the record is finished, meaning you can flip it or grab another at your leisure. To get more information on this turntable, check out MAG-LEV Audio Kickstarter or watch the video below.

This bookshelf table was designed by Endri Hoxha for people who love to read when they drink their morning coffee. This beautiful wooden coffee table features integrated shelves for books and magazines. I would highly recommend though that you add glass over top the table just in case you do spill something on the table. You don't want to ruin your books or magazines. Each items is hand crafted so you would have email the designer to get a price.

Created in collaboration with industrial designer Joey Roth, the Grovemade Wooden Speaker System ($599) uses natural materials to its full effect. The speakers are machined out of solid wood and mounted on leather clad stainless steel stands. Each set's enclosures are crafted one at a time using CNC machining and hand forming, leaving the interior without any parallel walls or flat surfaces, eliminating distortion. The 2-inch full-range drivers benefit further from the back-loaded horn, as well as the 2 x 25W amplifier. Each shell is finished with two coats of natural oil and set atop a leather stainless steel stand. Available in either maple or walnut. Get more info here

Who doesn't like nostalgia stuff like the Nintendo? The NES Classic Edition ($60) gives you all the nostalgia with none of the hassle. Arriving in November, it's a miniature of the real thing, packing about 30 games into a small palm-sized box — including all three Marios, both Zeldas, a couple Castlevanias, Metroid, Punch-Out (sadly minus Mike), and Tecmo Bowl. It connects to your TV via HDMI, and its controller can be hooked to a Wii Remote for use with Virtual Console games.
