Desert Strike
Mike Tyson is no stranger to film. The boxer has made numerous cameos throughout the years but for the first time, he's taking the lead. In the movie directed by Egyptian filmmaker Raouf Abd El Aziz, Tyson is an ex-military official on a mission to protect a group of Egyptian refugees from Hafthor Bjornsson. Even with two powerhouses, the trailer is as painful as taking a punch from Iron Mike. Desert Strike premiered in Egypt in 2019 and is expected to release in The States sometime this year.
Hacksmith Hoverboard Test
This is the real thing — kind of. After years of development, Hacksmith is finally ready to test its fully-functioning hoverboard after a few hiccups in testing, including catching on fire. While it won't be doing any Mart McFly kickflips any time soon, it's as close to the real thing we've seen yet.

MetMo Precision Grip
MetMo's Precision Grip rethinks traditional tweezers around a solid-barrel mechanism that prevents sideways movement and twisting, keeping the needle nose jaws aligned for pinpoint accuracy. A spring-loaded action delivers a smooth, controlled pinch while letting you determine exactly how much pressure is applied. Its precision lends itself to watch and jewelry work, but it's equally useful for electronics, miniatures, and detailed projects around the house. Interchangeable nibs let you tailor the working end to the task at hand, while surgical stainless steel, Grade 5 titanium, and aerospace-grade aluminum versions give professionals and tinkerers three material options to choose from.

Nike Ava Edge
The city becomes a concrete playground with the Nike Ava Edge, navigating everything from morning commutes on crowded sidewalks to late night rooftop bars and adventures. Inspired by the geometry and interconnected grid networks of modern cities, the upper layers are formed by weaving textiles with breathable mesh netting to create a flexible and protective fit around the foot. An oversized midsole uses performance-level SCF foam for soft cushioning through long days on concrete, while a flexible, perforated rubber outsole wraps onto the midsole for added durability and leaves a distinctive imprint behind with every step. Combining technical construction with an urban-focused silhouette, the Ava Edge takes the active lifestyle of the Ava lineup off the running route and into the everyday rhythm of the city.

One Night In Miami. . .
Four legends of the Civil Rights movement find themselves in a hotel room in Miami — Malcolm X, Cassius Clay, Sam Cooke, and Jim Brown — in director Regina King's One Might in Miami. . . Just after Clay's surprise knockout of Sonny Liston for the heavyweight boxing title, Clay heads back to his hotel room and one of the most legendary meetings in American history ensues. While the event did happen, next to nothing is known about the details, making this film ripe for speculation. The film will stream on Amazon Prime on January 15, 2021.
DIY Cupcake Machine
During quarantine, some people learned how to bake cupcakes. Others, like YouTuber Skyentific, spent that time creating a DIY machine to bake them for him. The robotics engineer built an Arduino-controlled pastry chef that replicated the cupcake process including pouring the dough, baking, and topping with icing. Although the presentation leaves a lot to be desired, the taste is there.

Nike Pegasus 42
Pegasus is Nike's top-selling running line and its longest-lived, and the 42 gives the everyday trainer a roomier fit. The ReactX foam midsole, up 13% in responsiveness over Nike's previous React foam, is paired with an Air Zoom unit that curves the full length of the shoe for the highest energy return Nike offers, from heel to toe-off. The mesh upper is softer and airier than before, a reworked fit leaves the forefoot and toes a little extra space, and a steeper curve under the toes adds spring. A lighter Waffle outsole pairs high-abrasion rubber with flex grooves for traction and flexibility. A men's size 10 weighs about 10.5 ounces.

Back To The Future DMC 12 Model Restoration
Full-size car restorations can rise to the level of art in the attention to detail and even recreating parts that no longer exist, depending on the model. The work put into restoring this model of Back To The Future's iconic DeLorean is firmly in the realm of art, with the result being better than the original, even in perfect condition.
Boston Dynamics Dance Party
While most of us spent our New Year's at home alone, the Boston Dynamics robots rang in 2021 with a dance party. The Spot, a pair of Atlas robots, and a handle showed off their moves to The Contours' "Do You Love Me?" Here's to hoping the impending apocalypse comes down to an old fashioned dance battle. It might be our only hope.
