Bike's Round Booty Makes for a Smooth Ride
Even without the occasional shot to the squishy bits from potholes, the vibration from rough roads alone will be enough to ruin a ride. The Tortola RoundTail aims to negate road quality with a frame design that reduces vibration 50x. The Tortola RoundTail frame features a prominent circular rear end instead of the traditional twin triangles. This design allows the frame to better dissipate the for
The Gates of Hell Just Opened In Guatemala
“This can’t be real” was my first thought. Then I checked the source: The Guatemalan government. This sinkhole appeared last sunday in a street intersection of Ciudad de Guatemala. Just looking at the photo gives me vertigo. [Updated] Click on the images to see the high resolution version. Check the video here https://gizmodo.com/guatemalan-sinkhole-video-is-just-as-scary-as-the-photo-5555048 A si
The Thrill of Flying the SR-71 Blackbird - Blackbird - Gizmodo
I can tell you about the SR-71 Blackbird’s titanium frame, its Pratt&Whitney J58-P4 engines, or its genesis. But that’s not important. What really matters is the thrill of flying it in an extremely dangerous mission, as remembered by this pilot.—JD https://gizmodo.com/the-story-of-the-ultrasecret-a-12-oxcart-father-of-the-1684070908 In April 1986, following an attack on American soldiers in a Berl

What Comes After the iPad?
When the iPad was unveiled in January, everyone could agree on one thing: it did look a lot like a big iPhone. Begeek.fr extends Apple’s consistent design to its logical conclusion in the company’s next two revolutionary devices. I hear the iBoard’s going to implement twenty finger multi-touch and the iMat’s even going to support Flash. [BeGeek.fr]
World War 2 Japanese Super-Submarine Found In Hawaii
According to Dr Hans Van Tillburg, “[the I-201 submarine] was nothing like anybody had in the Second World War. It had a streamlined body and conning tower and retractable gun.” They just found it in Hawaii. According to Van Tillburg, it looks more like a Cold War submarine than a WW2 ship, build for high speed underwater travel. The I-401 was its sister vessel. That one was located in 2005, and i
Here Be Lego Dragons
Dragons existed? Well, no, not unless their bones were made of Lego. Which would have been equally cool, right?! I mean, we discover dragons exist, and then we learn that their magical bones are made from one of the world’s most beloved customizable creations? Nerdgasm, not to mention an epic overhaul of the paleontology field as we know it. But sadly, no, this is just the work of Flickr user Necr
200 Starlings Hitting Aircraft Engine on Take Off
See those black bits scattered around this Boeing? It’s just part of a massive flock of starlings hitting its fuselage and engine as it was taking off at 200mph. About two hundred birds were sucked into the turbine. According to the photographer, Juergen Kienast, the sound of the engine as it sucked the birds was defeaning: The pitch of the engine said it all. It was like sticking a bit of metal p
When Airplane Stewardesses Were All Glamour and Sex Appeal
I just returned to NYC from Madrid. I slept all the way here, so I barely noticed the cramped seats, the bad food, the terrible movie, and the bad uniforms of the stewardesses. Back in 1979, I would have noticed. Yes, back in 1979 I flew to Sweden in SAS, and I still can remember the blondes in the pretty uniforms, their eyes, and their smiles. Which means I noticed (maybe too much, given my passi
How to: Make a Fisheye DSLR Lens for $16
Over at Instructables, user Banjomaster shows how to make a fisheye lens for his Nikon D90 for just $16, with the help of one of those wide-angle doorway peephole lenses. It looks like a pretty simple mod, both in materials required and construction method: It only needs a couple pieces of particle board, the aforementioned peephole lens, the spare lens shield that came with his camera, and of cou
PSP Go Leaked: Slider With 16GB of Flash Storage and Bluetooth
All this leakage stems from the June issue of Qore, which is a bit of a slip-up on Sony’s part. The Go looks to keep the single analog joystick, though the overall design is quite a bit more playful and, well, circular than previous iterations of the PSP. Notice we didn’t say “attractive”: the circle section that houses the start and select buttons especially has kind of a late-90s feel to it, but
