Jeremy Clarkson, Richard Hammond and James May are coming back to the auto world with their Amazon series The Grand Tour. Since they don't really qualify for Carpool Karaoke, James Corden put the guys up against each other for a timed test lap around the Willow Springs Race Course. Not only do the hosts need to make the best time, they also have to correctly answer a series of ridiculous trivia questions.
NPR's Tiny Desk was taken over by three humanoid aliens — or robots, or maybe even real men in heavy blue makeup — as the Blue Man Group brought their eclectic ambient sounds to the office. The Rube Goldberg of musical acts brought their own Rube Goldberg instruments for 13 of the most unique minutes in the history of the Tiny Desk series.

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.

The Eureka Ark Executive Standing Desk combines heavy-duty design with minimalist modern aesthetics — with the added benefit of not sitting for hours at a time. Measuring 63 x 29 inches, the Ark Executive Desk features a raising mechanism with two quiet motors and three-stage legs that raise the desk from 27 inches to a max height of 49 inches. The desk raises and lowers at the touch of a button, with two preset options and an anti-collision system to prevent mishaps. A raised monitor stand and two smooth-glide drawers provide ample storage options, with three USB ports, two outlets, and a wireless charging pad built into the top. Almost completely handmade, the Ark is dressed in solid walnut veneer, making it the centerpiece of any office, at home or on the job.

The Milk Way is about 160,000 light years wide, with our planet only taking up a mere fraction of that. Considering our only spacecraft in transit is taking 2.5 billion years to make the trip through it, human domination doesn't seem likely. But there could be a better way. Roey Tzezana explains the idea of von Neumann machines and how they could aid in getting civilization across our galaxy.
Wrestler André the Giant was huge in the ring, and even the big screen was barely enough to contain him. André had smaller parts in other films and television series, but it was The Princess Pride, in a role written specifically for him, that André's penchant for acting was brought to the fore. No Small Parts looks at André's career in film and how being the biggest guy in the room wasn't always a good thing.

Like fine timepieces, quality pens require detailed craftsmanship. That's evident in the perpetual calendar mechanism of the Anytime pen from Paolo Favaretto and Montegrappa. The pen's lid has three notched dials for the date, day, and month that provide haptic feedback when adjusted and lock into place using technology from the company's ratchet piston-fill mechanism. The pen is available in two models: Maestro, with a black resin and Delrin body with stainless steel trim, and Supremo, with a red resin body and yellow gold-plated brass trim. Both rollerball and fountain versions are available; the latter models have 18k gold nibs, and every pen regardless of model is limited to 365 numbered pieces and arrives pre-adjusted to show the date of manufacture.

Imagine a swing so extreme you need a parachute to ride it. Red Bull takes the venerable playground mainstay to a whole other level, suspending it from hot air balloon 6,000 feet in the air. In the words of skydiver George Lettner, the 400-foot long swing is the realization of a childhood dream: "To swing higher and higher, and finally jump off and fly."
