I Want
Made with sound and video clips from Willy Wonka, Pogo has distilled the film down into super-catchy, effervescent electronic pop. His other songs using the same technique are worth a listen and look too.
Stormscapes
Nicolaus Wegner spent the summer of 2013 on the northern Great Plains photographing what he calls some of the most beautiful storms and cloud structures in the world. One would be hard-pressed to disagree with him after watching these gorgeous images.

Dreame L40 Ultra Gen 2 Robot Vacuum and Mop
The Dreame L40 Ultra Gen 2 continues the march toward fully autonomous floor care, combining powerful vacuuming with an equally capable mopping system in a package designed to require as little human intervention as possible. Its 25,000Pa Vormax suction, driven by a sixth-generation TurboForce motor, tackles everything from fine dust to pet hair and cat litter, while DuoScrub mopping and extendable SideReach and MopExtend technologies ensure corners, edges, and tight spaces don't get overlooked. The real centerpiece, however, is the multifunctional PowerDock, which automatically empties debris, cleans the mops, and uses hot-air drying to keep the system fresh between runs. Intelligent carpet handling, off-peak charging, and enough battery life to clean large homes in a single session round out a robot designed to do more than maintain floors. It aims to eliminate cleaning chores altogether, especially for busy households and pet owners.

PLQR Smart Sticky Note
Private Label QR turns ordinary household labels into dynamic digital reference points, using durable QR stickers that link physical objects to editable information accessible from any smartphone camera. Once attached to a box, appliance, container, suitcase, or keepsake, each label can store notes, photos, instructions, contact details, or organizational data that can be updated anytime without replacing the sticker itself. The system feels especially useful for the kind of real-world friction most smart-home products ignore, from labeling moving boxes and organizing pantry goods to leaving appliance instructions for Airbnb guests or preserving the stories tied to family heirlooms. With no app required and built-in controls for private, public, or group visibility, the platform lands somewhere between modern inventory management and a digital memory layer for everyday objects.

No Questions For Matt
It was a big interview. Jimmy Kimmel had the entire cast of The Monument Men on the show, and just wasn't able to get around to asking Matt Damon any questions.

Nike Zoom Vomero 5
The modern sneaker rotation demands versatility. One day starts with a flight across the country, the next with a coffee stop across town. The Nike Zoom Vomero 5 thrives in both worlds, combining the technical complexity of an early-2000s running shoe with the understated versatility of an everyday staple. Layered mesh, synthetic suede, and plastic accents create a distinctive honeycomb-like look, while Zoom Air cushioning and a foam midsole provide comfort for long days on your feet. Originally built for performance, the Vomero 5 has become one of Nike's most adaptable silhouettes equally comfortable navigating airport terminals, city streets, and everything in between.
