LEGO Printer
It uses a felt tip pen for ink!
This has got to be the coolest Lego invention ever. This guy designed,built, and coded it all from scratch including analog motor electronics, sensors and printer driver! He did it just for fun and worked on it for about 3 weeks at night after work. The print was going to have three colors but the inventor had to simplify because he only had four lego motors. The printer can print things at about 75 dots per inch and it prints less than a page per minute.

BPG-Werks All Terrain Shredder
Pretty Cool Ride!!!
Welcome to the next level of extreme sports! BPG-Werks, a Canadian company, has designed and developed an all-terrain, adrenaline pumpin’, mean lookin’ board that takes the off-road riding experience into a whole new realm of extreme sports.
This gnarly off-road device is a combination of a skateboard deck with traditional skateboard trucks, a powerful engine and two mean tank-threads capable of shreddin’ any terrain at high speeds; snow, sand, trails, the side of a mountain, literally making the outdoors your terrain park. Acceleration and braking are controlled by a small handheld remote control. A 4-stroke racing engine powers two tank-style tracks up to a wicked 30 mph.

Haptica Braille Watch
Designer David Chavez is venturing to solve the problem through this sleek Haptica Braille watch that rotates throughout the day to reflect the time. It can be read discreetly by swiping your finger across the face without annoying watch announcements, and it won’t shake your wrist. Plus, I think the design is sleek and looks comfortable.
Chavez has partnered with Kickstart to seek funding for the project, hoping to make his more practical design available to those who need it. The website has helped in bringing financial backing to gadgets like the TikTok iPod Nano Watch-Kit and the iPhone 4 Glif tripod. You can watch his video below and read more about the project here.
HEX Watch Band for 6th Generation iPod Nano
As soon as Apple’s 6th generation iPod Nano was announced earlier this year, speculation about using it as a watch began. That happened so fast the announcement event wasn’t even finished before people were buzzing about it. Since then we’ve seen a steady stream of watch strap accessories to match that expectation. The latest is the HEX Watch Band.
The HEX Watch Band features a “Pop-In, Pop-Out” design and integrated control buttons to provide protection to the Nano inside as well as full access to all of the iPod controls. The inline design of the strap is supposed to allow headphone cords to run comfortably straight up the arm or through a sleeve.
The HEX Watch Band comes in 9 colors, pictured above; red, pink, orange, green, blue, clear, black, grey and white. It is available now and will run you $29.95 USD.
Those are some Rad Goggles
Zeal Transcend GPS Goggle
I bet you didn’t know you wanted a heads-up display in your goggles this year. With the going trend of bigger lenses and increased peripheral vision, Zeal has decided you don’t need to see anything off to the sides, while whizzing down a run of trees. What you really need is to be distracted by a heads-up display inside your lens telling you it’s 33 degrees out, you’re on run number 6 & you’ve been traversing all day trying to find fresh powder because your friend Brian swears he knows this stash at Vail where nobody ever goes and….sorry, I was starting to ramble there. Anyhow…if you like more information than everyone else – grab a pair of these.
