It’s a match made in gluten-free heaven every time – if you find your match on Glutenfree Singles, that is.

There’s no guarantee that you’ll stay together all throughout each other’s lifetimes, but at least you can avoid one problem most gluten intolerant people run into on first dates: incompatible diets.

It seems like a trivial thing, but it’s not so trivial if you have strict diet requirements because you have a health problem. Like gluten intolerance, for example.

Whether you have celiac disease, are gluten intolerant or choose to be gluten free for health reasons, we welcome you to GlutenfreeSingles, a website committed to building a national and global community for those who are gluten free.

Living a gluten-free life can be challenging, especially in a world where gluten-soaked foods are just about everywhere. At GlutenfreeSingles, you are not alone!

The site boasts that it’s a dating and networking site so “you never have to feel alone, awkward, or [like] a burger because you are gluten-free.” The world is full of other gluten-free-diet-loving people, and this site more or less promises to help you find your match.

No you are not seeing things. That car is really upside down and racing along without a care in the world. Jeff Bloch, otherwise known as “SpeedyCop“, likes to make strange custom cars. This one just happens to drive on its roof.

His latest project is a 1999 Chevrolet Camaro that he flipped over, then somehow made roadworthy. He describes it as “a frightening fusion of a wretched 1990 Ford Festiva and a horrible 1999 Chevy Camaro, with a not-so-subtle twist.” Creating this thing must have been a huge challenge, but the end result is pretty amazing.

SpeedyCop says that he is basically an 8-year-old kid trapped in a 40-year-old body. As far as I’m concerned, that’s the only way to be. He might want to take those turns easy, otherwise he’s going to scrape his rear-view mirrors against the asphalt.

Dogs. They poop. Like all the time. They are basically poop machines on four legs. You can either be rude and never pick it up, or you can be prepared and carry bags with you when you walk the dog. This Star Trek communicator dog bag dispenser is the geekiest way to carry poop bags with you.

It measures 4 1/2-inches long and has a bone-shaped plastic clip for leash attachment and a rubberized molded zipper pull with the phrase, “To boldly go…,” a pad printed Star Trek logo on the back, and raised plastic buttons.

Carry it with you everywhere and clean up after your pet. Kirk to Enterprise. Poop to Beam up!

It’s just $19.99(USD) from Entertainment Earth, and will be available in November. Goes perfect with the transporter dog bed.

Have you ever had a 12-course meal? The most I’ve had was eight, and I had a hard enough time keeping everything down by the end of the night. However, being too full isn’t a problem with the 12-Course Meal in a Can, for obvious reasons.

Basically, what you get is what you see. All twelve courses have been mushed and pulverized before being packed into a tight layer into the can. Here’s a list of all twelve courses:

• Selection of local cheeses with sourdough bread
• Pickled kobe beef with charred strawberry
• Ricotta ravioli with a soft egg yolk
• Shitake mushroom topped with filled peppers
• Halibut poached in truffle butter in a coconut crepe
• Risotto with foraged ramps, prosciutto and fresh parmesan
• French onion soup with fresh thyme and gruyere cheese
• Roast pork belly and celeriac root puree
• Palate cleanser: pear ginger juice
• Rib eye steak with grilled mustard greens
• Crack pie with milk ice cream on a vanilla tuile
• French canele with a malt barley and hazelnut latte

To be honest, the whole thing looks like some weird, multi-colored meatloaf that went bad a few years ago. But hey, this is as fancy and compact as a 12-course meal can get.

The whole thing was a project by designer Christopher Godfrey, who wanted make a statement about gimmicks in contemporary culture. What do you think? Would you eat this stuff?

Smartphone cameras are getting better each year, but they still don’t hold a candle to the optics of dedicated cameras. But if SonyAlphaRumors is correct, Sony will soon release two very unusual cameras that bolt onto a smartphone. Will these “lens-cameras” give you the best of both worlds? Or will the whole be less than the sum of its parts?

Supposedly, on September 4 Sony will announce the DSC-QX10 and DSC-QX100 lenses. Each lens will have a “built-in sensor, Bionz processor, Wifi/NFC wireless connection and SD card slot”, but no LCD or controls. Those last two bits will supposedly be provided by your smartphone. SonyAlphaRumors said that the DSX-QX10 has the same 20.2mp Exmor R sensor and Carl Zeiss lens as the DSC-RX100 camera. The DSC-QX100 on the other hand will have a 10x zoom lens and the same 18.2mp Exmor R sensor that’s in the DSC-WX150.

The lenses will supposedly connect to smartphones via NFC and Wi-Fi, but I don’t know if the cameras will be compatible with all (modern) smartphones or just with Sony phones. Perhaps they will even be limited to one Sony phone: SonyAlphaRumors points out that the phone included in these leaked images is the Honami i1, which Sony also hasn’t officially announced yet.

I guess we’ll know if these cameras are real or not soon enough. But assuming they are real the biggest question here is pricing. The hardware has already been proven in previous devices so the quality is pretty much a given. But how much will people be willing to pay for a camera that seems like it would be useless without a smartphone?
