Kids love dinosaurs, which is why they collect all of the Jurassic Park toys. Adults also love dinosaurs, and they also buy the toys. But if you’re looking for a collectible that is a bit more adult than some action figures and dino statues, check out this Jurassic Block fossil collection.
Jurassic Blocks are 5 by 5-inch blocks made with high-quality, super clear acrylic, and have real dinosaur fossils embedded inside. Owning actual pieces of dinosaur sounds pretty damn cool. I don’t know anyone else who owns any dino-bits, so I could be the only one on my block to have this. Awesome.
Serious dino buffs are going to love this. IWT Designs has curated these fossils excavated from all over the world, and they include fossilized remains from the late Cretaceous period, like a dinosaur eggshell, T.rex bone and raptor, and it also has fossils of creatures from the late Jurassic era like the stegosaurus, triceratops, and pterosaur.
It will cost you $175 to $199 on Kickstarter. The campaign has already passed its set funding goal, and they should start arriving in your mailbox around January 2019. This is really a great idea for dino lovers and will impress your geek friends.

Zhiyun Tech might not be a household name at this point in time, but the company is certainly going places. Their latest release is the WEEBILL LAB stabilizer that was specially developed for mirrorless cameras. The name might sound rather curious at first, but it has been christened as such after Australia’s smallest songbird, where it offers a light, compact and nimble stabilizer body that’s filled with features while delivering top-notch performance in a manner that is similar to its avian namesake.
For those who have a strong interest in making films, Zhiyun Tech understands that you want something that is natural enough to use while being easy to control, and the WEEBILL LAB delivers these capabilities. This high-quality aluminum tripod can be folded in order to hold the WEEBILL LAB as a traditional vertically-held stabilizer, while boasting of the option to be snapped on the horizontal part of the body in a jiffy in order to offer a more natural horizontal grip. Either way, you will be able to also obtain perfect for underslung shots or have a steady two hand grip.
This all-new professional stabilizer works great for mirrorless digital cameras, as long as they do not tip the scales at more than 3kg. With a lightweight body form factor, a versatile design, great control, and action-oriented design, you can be sure that your next photoshooting session will be more fun and perhaps more adventurous. The engine itself is 50% smaller, and yet it is able to deliver 80% more power compared to other stabilizers in its class.
A single charge of the WEEBILL LAB will allow it to run for up to 10 hours, making it more than enough to handle a full day’s work without requiring a trip to the nearest power outlet. In addition, it is also able to charge the camera that is installed on it, although that would then reduce its operating hours.

Once upon a time, editing a Word document – or any text file for that matter – online was quite the painstaking process, that often led to using a subscription-based platform.
Now though – or for the last few years, to be precise -, a wide range of practical free options are available, some of which have been developed by major tech companies. In this tutorial, we are going to be taking a look at three of the best online doc editors.
The most suitable platform for editing a Word document is obviously Microsoft Word. Besides the computer application, the company has made the platform available online, under the umbrella of its OneDrive cloud platform.
To be able to upload end edit a Word document on Word Online simply:
The user interface of Word Online is almost identical to the actual Word program. It should be noted here that while the online version does support a slew of Word features, some of the more special ones, such as embedding objects or chart data, are not available. If you wish to open a blank word document, just click on ‘New’ and from the options available select ‘Word document’.
So, if you are planning on editing a research paper, or anything that goes beyond some basic document editing, you should consider purchasing the program itself.
Another equally effective option, with a rich variety of editing options, is Google Docs.
Docs can easily qualify as a competitor to Word Online, as it offers all the tricks and treats that the latter has, as well as some of the ones that are only available on the paid version of Word.
Another great feature that Google Docs comes with is offline saving. In the unlucky, yet likely, event that your connection is lost, you can keep typing away, as your progress will be stored on the web. A copy of the document will also be synced down to the Google Drive folder on your computer, smartphone or tablet – provided that they are connected to that particular Google account and you have enabled Syncing.
Furthermore, you can also check out the Add-ons option, where users can download and integrate into Docs a bunch of extra tools (i.e. voice commands, translation etc.).
Finally, if you don’t wish to have an account with either of the two companies, you can always use Zoho’s document processing platform.
Zoho Writer accommodates all the features that one can find on both Docs and Word Online. Simply click on the hamburger menu, located in the top left-hand corner, for the editing menu to emerge. This is where all the editing tools are available.
Much like Docs and Word Online, you can have other friends or colleagues that use the platform view, edit or comment on the document. Another cool addition not available on the other platforms is the ‘Distribution’ option. From there, you can instantly upload the document to your WordPress blog.
If you encounter any problems while trying out the above or have a recommendation to make, feel free to shoot a comment down below.

For as much as it’s discusses, game streaming is something that’s still very much in its infancy. Sony has found some degree of success with its PlayStation Now platform, and Microsoft has plans to break into game streaming with the Xbox brand, but there’s still plenty of problems to solve in the space. Google is looking to do just that … Continue reading
