Geek is chic.
It's like the better our cameras get, the bigger our urge to make pictures look old and vintage-y. First there was Poladroid to make your photos look like now-defunct Polaroids, and now I've found a tutorial from Make that teaches you to turn an old flatbed scanner into a scanner camera that produces noir-ish black and whites, like in this dog picture. Are you into making your photos look rad Read more
One of my favorite parts of spy movies, aside from hotties like Daniel Craig, are the fabulous gadgets that aid the spy in hunting down the bad guys and uncovering deep dark secrets. When they're not saved in encrypted files, those secrets are often hidden on manuscripts and if the spy is lucky, he'll have a nifty scanner ring, camera or locket to record his findings. I'm no 007, but the prospect Read more
Robert Pattinson's shirtless inside the pages of the new Premiere magazine. He spoke with the publication ahead of Cosmopolis's debut at the Cannes Film Festival later this month. The picture pairs Robert with legendary director David Cronenberg, and the actor gamely re-created a handful of scenes from iconic Cronenberg movies like Scanners, Videodrome, and Dead Ringers. Robert spoke about making Read more

Though we may be loathe to admit it, one of the most exciting — and frenzied — moments of wedding planning is setting up a registry.

A fondue set? I'll take two. The enormous countertop convection oven? Read more

The flying car is finally here! Well, almost. Though it doesn't look like The Jetsons' floating bubble or Marty McFly's Delorean, the Terrafugia Transition is street legal and can be preordered for the low price of $279,000. That's more than a space flight aboard the Virgin Galactic, but at least you'll be able to drive it (and pilot it!) again and again. Requirements for piloting are pretty Read more
Ever since full-body scans became the norm at most US airports last Fall, I've opted for the extensive pat down instead. The thought of someone seeing under my clothes doesn't bother me as much as the potential radiation risks amplified by regular exposure to the scanners. And while the pat down is intrusive and slightly embarrassing, especially when they go inside the top of your pants, I guess Read more
