Nikon D7000
Middleweight Contender
The all-new Nikon D7000 ($1,499 18-105mm VR lens kit) has landed, muscles fully flexed.

BPG-Werks DTV Shredder
Oh The DTV Shredder? You Wouldn't Be Interested in That
Like the Mattracks Powerboard Snow Scooter we shared a while back, the BPG-WERKS DTV Shredder is a scooter even Dolph Lundgren would love. Designed by MIT graduate Ben Gulag, this motorized vehicle sports a pair of tank treads instead of wheels, giving it ludicriously good off-road performance for both military and extreme sports uses. Riders [...]

Baseball Card for Adults
As a kid, dropping $2.99 on a pack of baseball cards came as naturally as ordering sprinkles on your ice cream. The pictures on the front were awesome, and the stats on the back were, well, stats. As we’ve grown up (term used loosely) the stats we used to ignore are now the same numbers [...]
