Walk around New York City, and you’re bound to see the work of these "wall dogs"—the men and women who paint billboard-size ads by hand, high above the city streets. Their work is exacting, and the places they paint are terrifying. Don’t watch this if you’re afraid of heights.
When Matt Oscamou headed out to Starbucks Wednesday afternoon, he had no clue he’d be leaving half an hour later in an Uber with a venture capitalist (VC) from Google Ventures. “My preparation window was not even seven minutes,” says Oscamou. He was…
This week there’s little question that the internet security world has been tossed down a flight of stairs. With Heartbleed, a relatively major bit of a mistake was made in … Continue reading
The US Navy will begin in-the-wild trials of a laser weapon that can bring down aircraft or small vessels this summer, controlled just like a video game and costing about … Continue reading
I paint my nails weekly because I want fingernails that look pretty. I wear perfume because I want to smell pretty. What happens when you smash those two together? You get Revlon Parfumerie, nail polish that both looks and smells amazing.

When you beam down to an alien planet, you want to make sure you have all of your gear. You also want to make sure you aren’t wearing a red shirt. The most important things are to have your phaser and tricorder with you. If you can’t have a tricorder, at least bring this tricorder messenger bag instead, and then pretend to use it like a tricorder.
This Star Trek Tricorder Replica Small Messenger Bag won’t scan for life forms, but it will keep your stuff all in one place in a comfortable to wear bag.
Wear it with a Star Trek costume or just everyday. It has a built in mirror and the bag measures 8.75″(H) x 6 “(W) x 2.75 “(L). Always have your tricorder with you. It’s just $39.99(USD) from Entertainment Earth, and ships this June. Pre-order yours today, so you can be ready to beam down and check out the alien environment as soon as possible.
