      See What It’s Really Like To Use Google Glass

      I’m sure by now we’ve all seen the mock ups, diagrams, videos shot from, parodies, specs, put downs, hype ups, and general impressions of Google Glass that have been floating around the internet for quite some time.

      However, through it all there are still very few people who know exactly what Glass looks like to the user which, when it comes to understanding a product without any real historical equivalent, is kind of a big deal.

      While it’s unlikely anyone will get a truly great idea of what it’s like to wear Glass until they are able to do so, there is one blog called phandroid, that’s posted a video showing a pretty good demonstration of the device in action, from the perspective of the user.

      The actual quality of the HUD image is…not so great, though that is likely a result of the awkward task of trying to record the device, combined with the impossible hype surrounding it.

      However functionality wise, this is a pretty impressive demo. The commands exhibited are extremely responsive, the phone and video chat features are particular highlights, and in general everything looks to work more or less as advertised, at least in the current “out of the box” capacity.

      Google Glass has a long way to go before the final chapter on it is written, but from this demo it looks like underneath the high asking price, and still somewhat stupid looks, there might just be an actually useful device.

      Drinkable Water, Almost Anywhere,Thanks to the NDuR Straw

      May 4, 2013 /

      main

      When you build your zombie survival kit (bet it imaginary or sadly real), are you truly taking into account the word survival?

      I mean sure everyone packs up on guns, ammo, katanas and the like, but does anyone think about food, medicine and, most importantly, water?

      Many of us are fortunate enough to live in a part of the world where drinkable water is the last concern on our mind, meaning the only time we consider an instance where it is not, is when contemplating an apocalyptic scenario, or maybe while in the midst of a discovery channel marathon.

      If you ever truly want to be prepared for the worst case, when water is a luxury, though, take advantage of the newest technology in the field of sterilization by considering the NDuR Survival Straw. Like an item out of some “what if” scenario, the survival straw allows you to drink out of almost any source of water (sorry, no salt water), and convert it instantly into something safe and drinkable.

      The straw can filter out up to 99.9% of most harmful materials in the 25 gallons it can take in before needing replacement. It is also not only smaller than the average filtration kit, but it works much faster, and is even cheaper as it retails around $30.

      There are parts of the world who consider a device like this nothing short of miraculous. Even if you don’t live there, for any outdoor enthusiast, the NDuR is cheap and effective enough to have on hand, should you ever find yourself in need. For everyone else, just consider yourself one step ahead of the zombie survival game and own something practical to go along with that samurai sword collection.

      New Wool Blend Shirt Could be the Last Shirt You Ever Need

      May 2, 2013 /

      A question for you. Why would someone wear a shirt for a 100 days straight?

      There are several answers of course. You really like that shirt, it’s a harbinger of good luck, you’re really broke, you’re…umm…trying to win some sort of bet, and of course many others.

      Whatever your reason may be though, it is ultimately irrelevant as of course even the sturdiest of shirts need to be dried, ironed, and generally maintained in order to preserve their quality, meaning that the shirt of a 100 straight wears is in fact just a pipe dream.

      There is one upstart designer, though, by the name of Wool&Prince that insists that isn’t true. What’s more is that they aren’t relying on some space age material or microchip to accomplish it either, but are rather using a simple wool blend to craft a shirt that can be worn for a 100 days straight, without generating a single wrinkle, or producing one bad odor. Also, unlike your typical wool sweater, the material is apparently very high quality and actually comfortable to wear.

      While the 100 day wear spree may be a gimmick, it is one that proves the more interesting point that this is a durable shirt that can survive conditions both common and extraordinary and come out the other side in fresh from the dryer quality, with no more upkeep required than the occasional wash. While certain individuals like the business man on the go benefit most from this shirt then, it’s hard to imagine there isn’t a guy who wouldn’t like to have that one favorite shirt that just happens to be near invincible.

      Of course the point is that you won’t have to imagine any longer. The makers of the shirt Wool&Prince have already earned $300,000+ of their asking $30,000 goal, meaning it’s just a matter of time until you can own a shirt that’s Clark Kent sensible on the outside, and Superman durable within.

      Want to Know the Best Way to Win the Fight Against those Extra Pounds?

      April 19, 2013 /

      So let’s say you have several thousand dollars readily available to spend without worry, and you’ve been hoping to train in secret to shock everyone with your badass fighting skills for the next time you are forced into conflict, or presented the opportunity for a conflict, while out on the streets.

      If so…well you’re probably Batman.

      But even if you’re not, you will still love the Nexersys Home Boxing unit, which represents the ultimate in at home MMA or boxing training tools. It sports seven strike pads with integrated sensors that all feed to the built in monitor, which is the real highlight of the device. The monitor not only keeps track of your normal workout statistics like calories, history, and time, but more unit specific figures such as striking power and strike count, and also provides unique gaming workouts like digital avatar sparring.

      While the undisputed heavyweight champion of fighting training equipment, as mentioned the Nexersys is only meant for those with serious on hand pocket change, as the basic unit will set you back $2,995, and the much sturdier professional model with a larger screen runs an impressive $6,995.

      Of course can you really put a price on something that will put you on the path to becoming the next caped crusader, or at least living the ultimate man fantasy of delivering that perfect right hook in bar fight just once?
