Tech Tuesday

Got Juice?Taking that trip abroad? Every jet-setter needs juice for your peripherals but the adapters don’t match. This Universal Travel Adapter with a USB port is a good look, there's a connect port for everything. Cop this at a reasonable price of $17 dollars, this is light change!

New Meaning To Remote StartDr. James Brighton took a break from his rigorous teaching duties at Cranfield University and whipped up a RC Hummer H3 -- as in, the dude converted an actual Hummer H3 into a remotely controlled toy. Amazingly, the conversion was completed in just a month, and it's reportedly able to "climb a 407-millimeter vertical wall, traverse a 40-percent side slope and operate in up to 610-millimeters of water." Imagine what you could do with this! Make drops while standing from a lookout point, and never have to wry about being pulled over...I mean, you'd be able to enjoy hours of super-sized Tyco-RC fun...

To Batman from Lucius FoxSome army officials sat down with scientists at the University of Michigan and other schools to discuss the creation of Army spy tools. That's right, college students are creating advanced spy weaponry! The spy bat is a simple bionic bat with stereo cameras, miniaturized radar, ultra-sensitive self-guidance, "energy scavenging" recharging capability and a radio to send data back to troops in urban combat zones. Batman would love this, and you may even see it in the upcoming movie this summer...
