Colin Furze, the Mad Hatter of don't-try-this-at-home, has just dropped his latest creation: a guitar with a built-in, digitally-synched flame thrower attachment. Coma-Doof Warrior is jealous.
Andrew Myers' three-dimensional paintings are more than just the sight of color — for the blind and visually impaired, their tactile qualities are just as beautiful. Andrew and George Wurtzel are working to create the Tactile Art Center at the Enchanted Hills Camp and remove the taboo of touching the art.
Running 26.2 miles is a lot different than tackling your local charity 5K. To accommodate the needs of marathon runners, Nike created the Alphafly line, now in its third generation. It employs two types of Zoom cushioning — a high-stack ZoomX foam midsole that encourages a smooth transition and Air Zoom units in the forefoot for an energy return boost. A wide, full-length carbon fiber Flyplate improves forward propulsion, and the breathable Atomknit 3.0 upper is paired with a lacing system designed with racer input to enhance comfort.

With the S8 MaxV Ultra, Roborock ensures every inch of your house is clean. The new model features a Flexi Arm Design with an extendable side brush that reaches into corners, while an Extra Edge Mopping System cleans along edges. A Reactive AI 2.0 Obstacle Recognition uses a 3D structured light and an RGB camera to identify and avoid obstacles in its path, and a PreciSense LiDAR navigation system scans rooms to create a map and determine the most efficient route. It upgrades suction power to 10,000Pa to pick up even more dust and dirt, a Carpet+ Boost System ups the hair pick-up rate by 30%, and the mopping system scrubs floors 4,000 times per second, detecting carpets and rugs along the way. With built-in voice assistance, users can start cleaning with a simple command, and when the job is done, the vacuum will retreat to its dock to automatically empty, wash, dry, and recharge itself. The S8 MaxV Ultra will be available April 22, 2024, and for a limited time, get a triple gift pack valued at $1,000 with your purchase.

Dating isn't easy — just ask the male side-blotched lizard. These small lizards come in three colors — orange, yellow, and blue — and each color has it's own distinctive style for finding a mate. But to keep the one color from taking over, the females tend to prefer the rarest of the three colors of males.
You might sit at home — or in the office, or on the subway — and wonder to yourself what it would be like to be a pop music icon. Unfortunately, his film isn't going to get you any closer to that realization. It will, however, probably set a new record for cameo appearances in one movie.

Collars & Co. got its start making polos masquerading as dress shirts. While they look good under jackets, the performance polos look equally as good under that most versatile of pieces, the quarter-zip pullover. Equally as suitable for a chilly morning round of golf as a breezy sunset dinner, they come in a variety of styles, including reversible styles, stretchy, wrinkle-resistant golf models, cashmere and merino blends, and even cable-knit offerings for cooler weather. No matter which one you choose, it's sure to become a wardrobe staple.

Louis C.K. is a comedic genius — and a pretty smart guy too. On stage with Alex Trebek, Louis pretty much wrecked Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Jonathan Capeheart and CNN anchor Kate Bolduan on his way to winning $50,000 for the Fistula Foundation.
Kirby Ferguson strikes again with a new installment in his Everything is a Remix series. He applies the remix method of copying, transforming and combining to some of JJ Abrams' earlier works and Star Wars: The Force Awakens. Although the movie was heavily inspired by the original trilogy we all loved, did the use of remixing weaken the film or was it the perfect balance of familiar and novel?
