The Maker Bot Replicator ($1800-$2000), is the first ever multi color 3D printer. This revolutionary device was just released at the 2012 CES conference in Las Vegas. It's currently up for the top award at the conference because of the relatively cheap price for such an inventive and useful piece of equipment.  It also will come with the use of an uploading and downloading site various 3D designs.

New Beginings

With my photographic experience ever expanding, I've decided it's time to look for a new camera. for the next few days I will be posting the many different cameras I will be coming across while looking. The first camera I show much interest in is the 2010 Nikon D7000 ($1,200). its a considerable upgrade from the D90 ($900) and almost comparable to the D300s ($1,700) which is a considerable amount more then this camera. This is a great mid range camera for any experience photographer.

Rikke Hagen Whiskey Glasses

If you’re still consuming whiskey out of red Solo cups, it’s time to grow up.  As men, we are blessed with a few drinks that are both elegant and delicious, and while those cups might not do much about the taste, they sure as hell aren’t helping the elegance part.  For a distinctively grown up way to consume some Johnny Walker Blue Label, we’re digging the sophistication of these Rikke Hagen glasses from Normann Copenhagen.  The curve at the bottom of the glass is designed so you can hold and swirl your drink like The Most Interesting Man in the World (you know, when he’s not drinking Dos Equis). $61

Recycled Crystal Head Vodka Bowl

          It could be the fact we’ve always wanted to be Indiana Jones, or the fact that Mayan legends (however ridiculous) are intriguing, but we think crystal skulls are awesome. Apparently Dan Aykroyd thought so too because the former Ghostbuster decided to put his significant paranormal experience to good use… by creating Crystal Head Vodka. When the vodka is all gone, the slightly ominous crystal head gets turned into this bowl. Use it for coins, candy, keys or even Cap’n Crunch. Whatever you do with bowls will be better out of a crystal head. $55

Crypteks USB

       Despite looking like a prop from a cinematic adaptation of some Dan Brown novel, the Crypteks USB is actually a very real way of keeping your most important info safe. Instead of keeping digital tax files, private corporate documents and loads and loads of porn on some USB drive that could easily be dropped and plugged into another PC, now you can actually secure those necessities. The Crypteks USB is a physically locking USB storage device (just come up with your password like you would an alphabetical bike lock) that also features 256-bit AES Hardware Encryption. Plus, face it, one day you’re gonna bite the dust, do you really want a loved one to plug your USB storage device in and find out about your weird midgets in bondage fetish? price ($130)

The Scanomat Top Brewer lurks underneath your kitchen counter or inside your island, using dual grinders to ensure your source is as fresh as possible, heating fresh water for every cup using a unique boiler system and cleaning itself automatically, all springing to life with a single tap on your iPhone.

With the moving of there store they added a huge new testing room to which has a floor model of every component. although much of the equipment may be pricey you can wait for the floor models to go on sale and save a considerable amount of money.

Bender Books

A great philosopher once said, “There is a lot of wisdom in a bottle of whiskey.” (It was either Confucius or Jimmy Buffett, we can’t remember which one.) There’s truth to that adage. We’ve shared more knowledge after some Johnny Walker than we have after finishing any book (albeit slurred knowledge). If you want the appearance of a learned man while you puff on your pipe and relax in your robe, then get yourself a Bender Book. Hidden inside the cover of a book on Law, Finance, Piloting or some other topic is a glass flask ready for something to imbibe. Just be prepared to explain your drinking habit next time someone needs to look something up in your “dictionary.” $100
