Hasta La Gadget!

When it comes to wearing a watch, there is quite a number of us who have already migrated to the smartwatch platform. After all, we cannot get enough of our mobile devices as well as the kind of constant notifications that stream in, be it from out email inbox to our social media profiles and instant messaging programs. A smartwatch is a useful accessory to have for the modern day road warrior, although it is not considered to be an essential tool. If you are a high powered executive, chances are it would be of more use as opposed to a regular office drone, but for those who would want a sprinkling of style to go with functionality, the ToryTrack Gigi touchscreen smartwatch is right up your alley.

For starters, the ToryTrack Gigi touchscreen smartwatch is a state-of-the-art smartwatch that brings about balance to both fashion and functionality. It will be powered by the latest Wear OS software from Google, where it includes the ability to keep track of your heart rate, being able to accompany you while you swim, help you perform mobile payments where supported, as well as keep track of your activities and movement via untethered GPS, among others.

Touted to be the ultimate convergence of Tory Burch design and wearable technology, it will merge the elegance of an analog watch alongside the capabilities of a world-class smartwatch. Specially inspired by the Gigi, which is an iconic, classic design that happens to be one of the brand’s bestselling styles, the ToryTrack Gigi touchscreen smartwatch will arrive in a trio of distinct finishes: polished gold-tone, silver-tone and black stainless steel. All of them will sport an interchangeable rubber, grosgrain and leather strap options in order to help you mix and match your wardrobe.

Running on the Qualcomm Snapdragon Wear 2100 platform, the new ToryTrack Gigi touchscreen smartwatch plays nice with both iPhone and Android platforms. It will retail for $395 apiece for those who are interested.

Mike Warren wanted to dress up as Ghost Rider for Halloween this year. Now, he could have just worn a cheap mask and leather jacket, but he wanted to go the extra mile with a wearable glowing skull helmet surrounded in a cloud of smoke. When you are Ghost Rider, that’s just how it has to be. You can’t cheap out.

Mike used a very modern tool for generating the smoke: a simple vape.  Plus, the glowing LEDs inside the skull do a really great job of creating the look of fire, without the risk of burning yourself himself beyond all recognition.

Combined with the smoke really creates the illusion that this is the real Ghost Rider. The smoke comes from a store-bought electronic cigarette. Warren modded it with custom controls, a fan unit, and some flexible tubes to redirect the vapor flow.

Warren documented the entire build on Instructables if you want to try making one yourself. That link has links to all of the parts and components he used, and the 3D skull model he modified and 3D printed.

This is one awesome Ghost Rider costume. Now all he needs is a flaming motorcycle to ride. Maybe he’ll make that next year.

An island half the size of Manhattan in the south Atlantic Ocean is so isolated, it’s called Inaccessible Island. On that island, and only on that island, live nearly 6,000 puny featherballs called Inaccessible Island rails. But they can’t fly, and the island is only a few million years old. How did the birds get…
