This inflatable e-scooter can easily fit in your backpack


This is POIMO, an electric scooter that inflates in just over a minute and fits in a regular backpack. It looks like the result of a love triangle between a scooter, a motorized wheelchair, and a pool toy and nobody's sure who got who pregnant.

POIMO, an acronym that stands for "portable and inflatable mobility," is made primarily out of thermoplastic polyurethane and comes with two sets of wheels, an electric motor, a battery, and handlebars with a built-in wireless controller.

Unfortunately for anybody interested in buying one, there's no word on when it will become a commercially available product, or how much it might cost.

Watch the squishy toy/scooter in action:


Thanks to Gilbert, who informed me he can't wait for the inevitable POIMO trick fails compilation video.

The Adorable Sculptures of Yen Yen Lo

These images are from a series of wall sculptures created by Yen Yen Lo . Here you can see her intricately textured ceramic pieces, looking downright adorable. Yen Yen Lo's eye for the unique and whimsical is delightful. Apparently they are not intended for kids under 16. Fifteen-year-olds cannot be trusted with fragile stuff. Get them a Funko Pop instead.

Enigmatic Shapes and Psychedelic Patterns

To say that I love Sanagi 's work is an understatement. Looking at her art feels sort of therapeutic, and I find her drawings refreshingly intricate. They're trippy, psychedelic, and resemble something that you might see under a microscope. Not much is Googleable about Sanagi, but that's fine. There aren't many artists these days that still pull off the whole mysterious vibe, so I commend her for that. By the way... they're all hand-drawn with pen and ink.

Listen to Reggie Pearl’s “Moldavite”

Reggie Pearl deserves more recognition. I really like her music and I struggled to pick a song to recommend if you somehow only have the time to listen to one. But “Moldavite” blew me away the first time I heard it, and I hope you will love it too.
