Hasta La Gadget!

I’m glad video stabilization technology is mainstream now. It’s giving us new insight into historical events, opening new perspectives in scientific research, and then there is the endless fun factor—like seeing how ridiculous the battle scenes in Star Trek: The Next Generation are. Enjoy!

Don’t you think that this is pretty ironic, to have a pair of swim shorts that do not actually get wet? Well, this is what the Frank Anthony Swimwear is all about, where it will rely on Hydrophobic Nanotechnology in order to make such a dream possible. Coming in sizes that range from 28 all the way to 40, the Frank Anthony Swimwear has been specially designed to be resistant to all water based substances, where among them would include the likes of coffee, soda and fruit juice.

Hmmm, being able to repel soda, coffee and fruit juice certainly makes this sound rather space age, don’t you think so? Apart from that, it would also translate to being resistant to just about any forms of staining that one would naturally receive when it comes to the aforementioned liquids.

In fact, just in case you are wondering whether it is a kind of topical coating that performs all of such “magic”, it isn’t. The fabric that is used features a hydrophobic nanostructure within the actual fabric itself, which in turn makes it breathable as well as completely safe for use. Right now, Frank Anthony Swimwear claims to be the only swimwear company on the market that relies on such hydrophobic nanotechnology fabric, which has been proven in tests to reduce dry-times by up to 95% compared to vanilla 100% polyester swim shorts. Hopefully the Kickstarter project will be able to raise the relevant funds in due time to become reality.

Musicians are a creative lot, and if you give them an avenue to create music in a totally unique manner, then I am quite sure that they are more than willing to take up the opportunity with both hands without missing a beat. Having said that, the sonic possibilities that can be achieved by the Moog Theremini are virtually endless, being a re-imagination of one of the oldest electronic musical instruments around. Also known as Bob Moog’s first love, the Theremin, the Theremini will merge a powerful sound engine that has been derived from Moog’s award winning synthesizer, Animoog, alongside the traditional no-touch playing of a traditional Theremin.

With the help of assistive pitch quantization, each player can adjust the instrument’s level of playing difficulty depending on their skill level, and when one is at the maximum position, the Theremini is capable of playing every note in a selected scale perfectly, which would just about make it nigh impossible for a wrong note to be played. Set to minimum, the Theremini will then function as a traditional Theremin, where the analog heterodyning oscillator will keep the pitch in control without the need for any assistance at all. When was the last time you made sweet music creatively?

The OnePlus One is a truly unique smartphone as it does come with its fair share of hardware specifications that are able to duke it out with the very best of them out there without breaking the bank, although the availability of this particular smartphone is still rather questionable at this point in time. Of course, assuming you happen to be one of those who have managed to get hold of the OnePlus One, it would make plenty of sense to introduce some accessories to go along with the handset, don’t you think so? In fact, the manufacturer has already made available a clear case which will snap directly on to the back of the handset, while another case will arrive in a streak of bright yellow.

That is not all, however, as there will also be other kinds of accessories that will make life with your OnePlus One a whole lot easier, where they range from a bunch of screen protectors to a leather flip cover. The flip cover itself is said to arrive in a range of colors, where among them include a bright orange variant to keep the yellow one company.

Well, did you manage to receive an invitation to purchase the OnePlus One, and would you prefer to gun for the 64GB model instead of the 16GB one? You can check out the rest of the accessories for the OnePlus One here.

Two children suffered minor injuries when the inflatable slide they had been playing on was tossed around by the wind in Littleton, Colo., on Saturday.

One girl was thrown off the slide as it blew away. She was treated at the scene.

“All of a sudden, it picks up and there’s a girl going down the slide,” Vannessa Atencio, a witness, told KUSA. “She flies about eight feet in the air. The slide tumbles across the field.”

The other child, a boy, was on the slide as it tumbled and slid some 200 to 300 feet before coming to rest by a pond. He was taken to a hospital as a precaution but is expected to be OK, according to KCNC.

“Parents were screaming. Moms were crying,” Dave Colee told the Denver Post. “It was slow-motion. It took probably 60 seconds to roll across the field.”

Both children are believed to be about 10 years old and had been attending the Rocky Mountain Lacrosse Jamboree. KUSA said the organization told Airbound, the company running the slide, to stop operating immediately. They added that Airbound may not be invited to future Jamborees.

Airbound told KUSA that its slide had been properly staked the ground.

Weather.com noted that wind gusts of up to 40mph were recorded in the area.

It’s the second high-profile incident involving a large inflatable in less than a month. On May 12, three children were injured when a bouncy house was tossed some 50 feet in the air in South Glens Falls, N.Y.

Two of the children suffered serious injuries and one was in a medically induced coma for several days. All three are now recovering, The Saratogian reports.
