June – Summer! <\/Strong><\/em><\/p>\n

Personal Drone Selfie<\/a> <\/Strong>
\nMeet the AirDog, a drone designed to let you photograph yourself, generally being marketed to the sports crowd, but so many other uses come to mind. <\/p>\n

LEGO Fusion<\/a> <\/Strong>
\nIt\u2019s like playing SimCity, only when you add buildings, you prototype them in LEGO first, then take a picture of the prototype, and the virtual building springs up in your city. Wild.<\/p>\n

Trampoline Park in Abandoned Mine<\/a> <\/Strong>
\nYeah, you read that right \u2014 these nut cases strung trampolines all over this abandoned mine, added funny lights and made a theme park.<\/p>\n

Dead Trees Not Decaying Around Chernobyl<\/a> <\/Strong>
\nNot exactly because of Magic Radiation(tm) but due to the fact that a lot of the microbial life that should be busily helping the decay process along is gone.<\/p>\n

July – More summer! <\/Strong><\/em><\/p>\n

Indoor Farming Better Than Outdoor<\/a> <\/Strong>
\nJapanese scientist\/farmer (been a while since we could use that one) has setup a hydroponic farm using LED lights and a tighter-than-normal day\/night cycle to speed up production 250%.<\/p>\n

Futurama in 3D Live Action Video <\/a><\/Strong>
\nWhat would Futurama look like if some geniuses (genii?) threw some computer time and some serious artists at it? Wonder no more! It would be cool if this were a test shot for a future MMORPG or something, right?<\/p>\n

Skeet Shooting With a Tank <\/Strong>
\nThat\u2019s it. You don\u2019t need more than that. Just watch the video.<\/p>\n
