From the Department of Awesome Technological Innovations comes the imminent obsolescence of the wheelchair:
This is the TEK Robotic Mobilization Device (RMD), a transport vehicle for the paraplegic/disabled that allows them to move around in a standing position. The advantages over a traditional wheelchair are immense, including: better cardiovascular health from the standing position, the ability to make eye-to-eye contact instead of always being looked down upon, the independence to reach high and low (it can lower to a sitting position as well), get on and off the john/in and out of bed yourself, as well as a significantly smaller footprint for ease of navigating tight areas. The device comes in five sizes and started shipping in Turkey last week for around $15,000.
Head over to Geekologie to watch a video demonstration of the TEK RMD.

After we’ve nuked ourselves out of existence and aliens stop on our planet for a bathroom break, what curiosities will they unearth from our once great civilization? Joysticks, cameras, and even turntables are just a few of the items Bughouse, certainly aliens from the future, discovered and are now selling at their website: Bughouse Art+Design

3D Printable R/C Koopa Shells.
You can download the schematics for free over at Thingverse, and then proceed to chase your neighbors, children, and small animals for hours of fun.
Cool little projects like this always make me wish I wasn’t too lazy/afraid of failure to make my own 3D printer. Maybe one day…
