Holy Batarang Boomerang, Batman!

Victor Poulin makes all kinds of cool boomerangs. Even the glaive from Krull. He recently made this sweet Batman batarang, which works really nicely and comes back to the thrower. I just wish I could see the Joker get hit upside the head with this thing. Crazy freak!

In the video below, Poulin shows off the batarang like a pro. This thing measures 25.25 inches across even though it doesn’t look that big. He throws it and it returns to him every time. It’s a bit big for a utility belt, but it works like a champ.

It’s made of wood, so it is probably nice and light – and not as deadly as it looks. Poulin is a true boomerang master. Check out this other video of him playing basketball and starting fires with a boomerang. Great stuff.

But here’s one thing you can have that’s better than Batman’s: a fully returning Batarang in real life. It’s beautiful.

boomerangWireless audio docks do seem to be more and more popular these days, otherwise, why is there a need for hardware manufacturers to start churning out more and more of these puppie?

The Boomerang wireless audio dock would live up to its namesake of course, where it arrives in a crescent shape, although I seriously doubt that throwing this at an angle away from you will see it return to your hands safe and sound, as the law of gravity would then come into play.

Just how does it get the job done? Well, it will rely on the most recent version of Bluetooth and NFC (Near Field Communication) technology, allowing you to tap your Bluetooth enabled device to the Boomerang in order to pair with it. Not only that, when it comes to portability, the Boomerang’s a winner thanks to its unique shape that makes it a snap to tote around, while it fits comfortably around your neck when it is not in use.

Among the other key features of the Boomerang wireless audio dock would include an Expansion Sleeve Design which enables you to easily adjust the viewing angle and accommodate for various sizes, a pair of 6W Stereo Sound that delivers integrated bass boosts,and up to 10 hours of battery life via its built-in lithium ion battery.

Boomerang gets pushy with Gmail notifications, multi-message selection

DNP Boomerang adds push notifications and multiinbox support

Boomerang’s latest update adds tweaked functionality, moving it from one-trick unicorn territory to a possible Gmail app-replacement. Developer Baydin’s improvements include Google Cloud Messaging-based push notifications, the ability to “send from” and multi-message selection for bulk mailbox organizing. If you’re a fan of the email giant’s new tabbed inbox, you’re out of luck for now — everything here is still lumped into one list. If you ask politely enough though, we’re sure the dev will consider supporting it; version 0.8’s shiny features were community suggested, after all.

Boomerang Android app tames Gmail inboxes with reminders

DNP Boomerang Gmail app comes to Android, available now

The previously web-only Boomerang app for Gmail is now in open beta on Android. Just another mail app, right? Not quite — Boomerang’s hook is that it can bring unanswered messages back to your inbox. More than a clever reminder system, the app uses gesture controls (swipe right to archive, left for snooze and other options) and can schedule outgoing emails, too. According to TechCrunch, developer Baydin is also working on support for non-Gmail services and a tablet-optimized app. Jump to the Google Play link below to get your hands dirty for free.
