As the microbrew industry has become increasingly crowded, brewmasters are becoming more and more creative with their ingredients and techniques. The latest trend, Outside magazine says, is spiking batches with foraged ingredients, from sassafras to kudzu. Sound delicious?

In 2008, we did an article about a Darth Vader toaster that was considered a must have for Star Wars junkies. Well, the toaster just got an upgrade. The new version is shaped just like the Dark Lord’s helmet and is the ultimate addition to your kitchen counter. The toaster burns the Star Wars logo on one side and the image of Darth Vader on the other.
This new toaster is coming out in July and can be pre-ordered from Bigbadtoystore.com to have proudly displayed on your kitchen counter for a mere $44.99.
There are always going to be times where we’ve forgotten something. It can be important, like your wallet, or small, such as a pen. Either way, when the time comes where you need it and it’s nowhere to be found, you’re going to have to go out of your way or Macgyver something to fix your current predicament.
If you’d rather just be prepared than hoping you can find the tools you need when you need them, the IN1 Multi-Tool Utility iPhone Case can help. This is a polycarbonate case that has a nail file, tweezers, scissors, a toothpick, Philips and flat-head screwdrivers, and a blue and red pen. If all that isn’t enough, there’s a stand on the back that will let you watch videos in landscape mode.
The case is available in black, white, or clear, with black, blue, green, orange, pink, or white accents for the tools. Thankfully, this is TSA compliant, so you can go anywhere in the world without having to shed this case. One possible problem in the future would be the pens running out of ink, but there’s a chance you can inquire about replacements. Just so it doesn’t scratch up your phone, the interior of this case is lined with felt to keep your mobile comfy cozy. This will cost you around $45, and will definitely come in handy.
Available for purchase on Amazon, or IN1case

John Chen recently announced that the company is going to start manufacturing the Bold 9900 once again. BlackBerry Bold 9900 was first launched back in 2011, it was a successful smartphone, and was well received by diehard customers. It subtly borrowed design hints from the very popular Bold 9000, and brought a totally new interface. In order to appease customers that jumped shift after not being impressed by the changes made in BlackBerry 10, the company has decided to bring back the three year old smartphone.

A couple weeks ago, we learned from leaked documents that the NSA has the capability to record an entire country’s calls, texts, and email in real time. That’s a hell of a capability, and those documents revealed that it was being used in one country. Now, thanks to a retired NSA leader, we know which country that is: Iraq.

Do we all remember learning how to brush our teeth? In my day that meant those little red disclosing tablets that you would chew, and they would leave bright red stains on the teeth you neglected. My kiddo should know how to brush, but I’m not sure she gets the consequences of not doing it properly. Of course modern technology has a solution…Check out Kolibree, a cool new gadget designed to help you brush smarter. Used like your regular toothbrush, Kolibree sends real-time data directly to your smartphone. Easily check to see if you’ve brushed for long enough, or brushed in all the right places, using intelligent sensors and connected technology. Yup, its a Bluetooth toothbrush with a nifty associated app.
Kolibree’s toothbrush actually contains a sensor that can track the areas of your mouth that you’re brushing, and it lets you know what sections might need a little more attention. The toothbrush measures how often, and for how long you spend brushing and, if you’re not gettin’ it done, you’ll get a low brushing score. Good for kids and adults alike, Kolibree will help anyone who cares about their smile, to brush smarter.
Kolibree tells us that it’s an open platform, which means they can create limitless digital dental experiences through the use of creative apps, including games, music & video apps, healthcare & well-being apps, even interactions with your dentist. I think Kolibree will do more for kids learning to brush their teeth than a musical toothbrush and an egg timer ever did. Watch for the Kickstarter campaign sometime this summer… they’re expected to price out between 100 and 200 bucks depending which one you get. It seems like brushing your teeth might never be the same. To sign up for notices, or for more info, visit kolibree.com.
