A company called Slot Mods has an awesome slot car track that has very nice details on the track itself. The track has cars sitting in the paddock, trees, and cool crash barrier walls. The coolest part is that the track is hidden inside a car replica. Read The Full Story

, Dec 28th 2011 Discuss [4]

I have seen plenty of photos of the Large Hadron Collider or LHC over the years and it is a very impressive piece of machinery. Apparently, a physicist named Sascha Mehlhase had some time not spent doing actual work to recreate the LHC using Lego bricks. It's a very accurate representation as well. Read The Full Story

, Dec 20th 2011 Discuss [0]

I really like cars, especially sports cars. I really like geeky tech products to and when tech and geeky products meet, I tend to go Pavlovian and drool on my keyboard. The latest tech/car mashup is the Flash Rods Mercedes SLS Hard Drive.

, Nov 11th 2011 Discuss [5]

All you lovers of the Angry Birds brand can rest easy knowing there's an Angry Birds-centric store headed your way soon, as the first shop has officially opened its doors for business in Helsinki, Finland.

, Oct 21st 2011 Discuss [5]

My son loves Hot Wheels cars and has a ton of them that he has collected over the years. He also has more than a few tracks that you can slip together to play with. I will be the first to say that those tracks rarely work as advertised and generally fall apart if the cat farts. The track in the video at the bottom of this is insanely large. I can only imagine how much the parts would have coasted to make the track. Read The Full Story

Chevy shows off flying car at Texas State Fair

I think one of the coolest things that Chevy had in its display at the Texas State Fair auto show was this little matte colored version of the new small car called the Sonic. The first time I saw it sitting there, I thought it was a clay reproduction of the Sonic used for the design process. Then it started whirring and lifted into the air. It turned out that it was a full-scale model of the new Sonic that was controlled and is controlled by a big RC controller like an RC airplane. Read The Full Story
