SpinChill quickly chills bottles & cans by spinning them in ice
SpinChill: We can’t believe we didn’t think of this – SpinChill is a small device that quickly chills drinks in bottles and cans by spinning them in ice. The SpinChill can chill a can in one minute, a bottle of beer in three, and a bottle of wine in five. Seems its smooth spinning motion helps avoid foaming typically associated with shaking a drink before opening it, and the device can chill up to 300 drinks before requiring new batteries. Love. Want. Need. Perfect for the beach esky this summer…party on! 🙂

Lexus Hoverboard comes to life in this AWESOME demonstration vid
Lexus Hoverboard: Not too long ago, we posted that Lexus had created the hoverboard prototype we’ve all been dreaming of since Marty McFly flew through the air in Back to the Future II. Well, all skeptics will be happy to know…they actually have and there’s proof that the Lexus Hoverboard IS real! It seems Lexus aren’t really breaking any new ground here – all they’ve done is apply existing superconducting magnetic levitation technology. Industry experts who have tried the Lexus Hoverboard describe it as very difficult to ride yet at the same time unbelievably cool as you are levitating – the feeling so unique that they have nothing else they can compare it to, the closest is ice skating, but even that’s like comparing the finest silk to 300 grit sandpaper. So, is this finally Marty McFly’s hoverboard fully realised? Unfortunately not (insert tear). The Lexus hoverboard requires filling with liquid nitrogen every 10 minutes or so, and only works if your local skate park has several hundred thousand dollars worth of magnets built into its surface (the Lexus Hoverboard skate park was custom built). It’s also probably the most expensive thing Lexus currently produces, making its chances of hitting the store shelves anytime soon almost nil. However, none of that is the point…this is just so AWESOMEEEEEE!!! Check out all the videos below but the first one is a must watch. Enjoy! 🙂
It’s Here!! 🙂 Watch the Lexus Hoverboard in action
'Pipe Dream' sees Maddo ride his dirt bike on iconic waves of Tahiti
Pipe Dream: WOW! DC Shoes presents Robbie “Maddo” Maddison’s ‘Pipe Dream’ which gives the world a chance to witness history being made as Maddo rides his dirt bike on the powerful and iconic waves of Tahiti. From his helmet to motocross boots, Maddo was dressed for FMX when he took his dirt bike into the unchartered saltwater terrain of the Pacific Ocean in French Polynesia. For nearly two years, Maddo has been focused on making surfing on his motorbike a reality. His efforts paid off in Tahiti, where he rode the world famous waves at Teahupoo and Papara. Simply awesome!! 🙂
KFC's chicken bucket doubles as an instant photo printer - WTF?!
KFC: So, to celebrate 60 years in Canada, KFC have created a new chicken bucket that doubles as an instant photo printer. The ‘Memories Bucket’ is a new high-tech, limited-edition big bucket that helps you print your photo on the go as you’re creating them. W. T. F.?! While specs of this device are limited, the functionality seems simple enough – it’s a standard instant photo printer that’s bucket shaped. First, snap a photo on your phone and once the printer is on, select your pic and send it to the printer via Bluetooth. KFC says on its Facebook page that it will be releasing more details about this bucket photo printer soon, and will be giving a few of them away as well. No word yet on whether it will be commercially available to anyone or in any other country (Aussie summer cricket gold!). Oh dear…this is bound to end in disaster. Who on earth wants a pic of someone with potato n’ gravy all over their face? Actually, second thoughts…this could be quite useful. Dirty birdy lol 😉
Special Effects: Loving this funny video of the worst special effects in movies, which is a compilation of some of the most over the top falls, giant fake sharks, crap green screen backgrounds and bad graphics in cinema. A little something to make you laugh on a Monday – Enjoy! 🙂
Apple: We loved stumbling across this retro-futuristic concept video created by Apple in 1987, where they imagine what the the future in 1997 will look like. It’s an awesome flashback that’s full of things that would of then seemed innovative, such as video glasses or web connected homes and pretty funny when you compare it to where Apple and technology in general is today. Gold! 🙂
Freaky Flowers, the flowering cactus time-lapse, is our vid of the day

The Wizard of Oz and Age of Ultron Mashup is our vid of the day
The Wizard of Oz and Age of Ultron Mashup: We LOVE this short video by Australian visual effects artist Darren Wallace, who has put together this awesome The Wizard of Oz and Age of Ultron Mashup. It’s a must-watch – so clever!
Hoverboard, the flying skateboard, from 'Back to the Future II' is being developed by Lexus
Hoverboard: If you are anything like us, you have been patiently waiting for this legendary flying skateboard since you first saw ‘Back to the Future II’many moons ago. Well, peeps, the wait might be over as it seems via the Lexus SLIDE project, Japanese designer Haruhiko Tanahashi has created the first real hoverboard. However…although what we see on the Lexus website is beautiful, and apparently usable, we can’t get too ahead of ourselves – this prototype currently uses superconductivity via magnets and liquid nitrogen in order to fly above a metal plate 🙁 So don’t expect to be flying around the streets hooked to the back of a futuristic car just yet…but we’re getting there! YES, YES, YES!!!
