To be a fighter pilot, you need a good g-force tolerance — or at least better than Tom Scott. Tom took a ride in the Royal Air Force's centrifuge, where they test and train pilots on withstanding the g-forces encountered while flying a modern jet aircraft. This is what it looks like when you lose consciousness from g-loc — hopefully while not actually flying a plane.
"Puppet-making begins by gathering stuff." In this short film, animator Ainslie Henderson, who specialized in stop-motion, describes the process behind his puppetry in a love letter not just to the medium but also the characters that help create it. The piece is scored by musician Poppy Ackroyd.
There are lots of TIE fighters out there, from full-scale builds to smaller-scale models. But few of them are motorized and remote controlled. Allan Carver built this TIE fighter using a 70s Kenner toy as a reference. It's powered by electric wheelchair motors and controlled by a RC airplane controller. It can fit a pilot and tops out at about 6 MPH — not quite as fast as the real thing, but it can fit in your garage.

Coffee can be an acquired taste, a love that develops as much from the memories and social aspects as its physical attributes.

Informed by the founders' experience, gained at renowned brands like Louis Vuitton and Tumi, Arlo Skye makes luggage with thoughtful features like the hard-side exterior pocket of this carry-on.

The time when cars had only what they needed — seats, steering wheel, motor, and wheels — are long past. Cars have gone from utilitarian purpose to status symbol, purpose-built for a variety of specific tasks. Sports cars have gained sweeping shapes and bright colors, unmistakably announcing what they're made to do, and prices for the classics have rivaled that of most pure works of art. But are automobiles art? Donut digs into the question and tries to find an answer.
