Adidas’s New Smart Soccer Ball Tells You Everything About Your Kicks
Tech in sports typically revolves around maximizing performance in some nebulous and difficult-to-fact-check way. But Adidas has been doing some very cool stuff, like MiCoach biometric tracking, and now it’s got something new and actually kind of great in theory: a soccer ball that tells you what its doing.
Espresso 101: The Methods And Machines Behind The Perfect Shot
Espresso is a mysterious drink. Not many people really know what it really is, how it’s made, or even what it should taste like. We’ve all been lured into a haze of misunderstanding and misinformation by the likes of Starbucks, Nespresso, Krups and countless other brands looking to make espresso easy and cheap. Don’t take the bait. Espresso, done right, is wonderful. Here’s how the best in the business do it.
This Walking, Driving, Transforming RC Car Can’t Get Here Fast Enough
Here’s another look at Kenji Ishida’s absolutely phenomenal self-transforming RC car, this time being tested outdoors to make sure it’s as awesome as it can be. And it looks like it checks out.
‘Sound Bulbs’ Are Vintage Speakers That Screw Right Into Light Sockets
Dominic Wilcox has a knack for the absurd. He’s designed gold-plated luxury skipping stones, anti-theft bike stickers, and a post-it note tattoo for hand-written notes. His latest design, though, is both absurd and incredibly useful: a conversion system that makes it possible to screw old sound systems into light sockets.
A Tactical Apron For Chefs Who Take BBQs Very Seriously
For some, barbecuing is simply a means to heat food that involves the opportunity to play with fire. For others, it’s as serious an operation as open heart surgery.

Every year, Sydney’s best landmarks are converted from gorgeous colonial structures into canvases for incredible light displays as part of Vivid Sydney, with the centrepiece always built around the Sydney Opera House. This year’s Vivid is bigger than ever, but it’s also the most important, because it’s the first time that the lighting of the Sails has ever been done by an all-Aussie crew.
World’s Smallest RC Helicopter Can Be Destroyed By A Fly Swatter
It was impressive enough when toymakers found a way to make remote control helicopters small and safe enough to fly around indoors. But their miniaturisation efforts continue on as toymaker Silverlit introduces the Nano-Falcon, an RC chopper so tiny that Guinness has officially granted it the world record for smallest IR-controlled helicopter.
Kindle Fire HD Is Now Available For Australians
When we reviewed the Kindle Fire HD last year, we were bitterly disappointed. Mainly because it was a good little device that just didn’t have any of the great Amazon features available for Australians. That’s about to change, however, with the news overnight that Amazon will make the Kindle Fire HD available for shipping to Australia. Hurrah!
How To Make Your Own Etch A Sketch
It’s human nature to immediately pick up and play with an Etch A Sketch whenever you see one. It’s in the Hall of Fame of toys (does that exist?), and almost everyone has struggled making anything more than squiggly lines with its knobs. But did you know that you can actually make an Etch A Sketch toy at home? Yeah.
