This is a video of Red Bull mountain biker Matt Jones jumping his ride through the open rears of two autonomous Scania semi trucks traveling in opposite directions. It’s a tight window (less than a second), but after lots of planning and practice, he successfully makes the jump. That’s cool,

This is a video of the Great Ball Contraption (GBC) of Japan Brickfest 2025, constructed using 49 different ball-moving LEGO modules from eight master LEGO builders. The machine spans a very respectable 31 meters (102 feet). Damn, that is a lot of ball moving! Me? When I’m uncomfortable at the

This is a video of acrobat and glizzy performance artist Jacob Grégoire performing a series of hot dog tricks. Apparently Jacob is one of Peter Pan’s Lost Boys and never grew out of playing with his food. I respect that. Damn he make them wieners look good! I can’t even

This is a video of maker of marginally useful things Uri Tuchman constructing an auto-deploying tape measure. That’s neat. What would be even neater is if it were a voice-activated SMART tape measure. “Tape measure, give me 4-feet 5-inches!” Yeah…that would really be something.
