Have you checked out the new airport in Cambodia? It's not just a place to catch a flight; it's a total cultural experience the moment you step off the plane. Instead of the usual glass-and-steel box, this airport is deeply rooted in Cambodian culture. I'm talking about the roof, which has this cool, undulating (wavy) form that's a direct architectural shout-out to the iconic temples and palaces of the country. Passengers are also greeted by 200 hand-crafted sculptures, including a central bronze-cast Buddha. But here's the best part: the terminal is going to be almost entirely run on energy generated by a nearby solar farm. I mean, how often do you get to fly through a beautiful, culturally-inspired building that's also practically powered by the sun? WATCH:

Yamaha just dropped the mic on the future of two-wheelers with the MOTOROiD:Λ concept. This isn't just an electric bike; it's a four-wheeled robot pretending to be a motorcycle—one that learns, corrects itself, and can apparently look back at its own taillight while cruising. This bike is really smart. It uses Self-Learning AI that constantly tracks your riding style (braking, turning, speed) and refines its own handling to become smoother and smarter over time. If you hit a pothole or start to tip, the AI instantly corrects the balance, and it can even self-right without you touching it. It stays upright thanks to robotic stabilizers (called Motion Arms) that are so precise they can spin the bike's rear end 180 degrees while moving. Plus, the wheels have Hub Motors built in, giving it super-quick throttle and brake response, which adds to its almost supernatural stability. Is this stunning technology a real product coming soon, or is it just an impressive concept bike des...

Flying car races are officially here! Seriously. The "Formula One of the skies" just had its inaugural event, the Jetson Air Games, and watching these electric octo-copters execute tight turns and perilous overtakes is quite entertaining. The Jetson One is a single-passenger ride, basically a drone you sit in. It hits 102km/h, uses eight powerful rotors, is built with a lightweight carbon fiber and aluminum frame, and weighs 115 kg, 60 kg of that being batteries. What do you get for all that tech? About 20 minutes of flight time up to 1,500 feet. They've also crammed in a ton of safety features: it can safely land even if it loses a propeller, and there's a ballistic parachute that can deploy from the roof like a last-ditch save. It'll set you back $128,000 now, but that's planned to jump to $148,000 on November 3rd. If you have lots of money, better get your preorder in because they sold out the first run and are currently booking for 2028 delivery. WATCH: So...

Have you ever looked up and wondered, "What does it feel like to soar majestically like an eagle?" This video offers a captivating glimpse. Expert bird handler Lloyd Buck attached a small 360-degree camera and a GPS tracker directly to the back of one of these magnificent predatory birds. The entire setup creates a stunning, first-person virtual reality experience—only this one is real and features a creature with an impressively large wingspan. However, this isn't just for cool footage. The real mission is to capture valuable scientific data: examining how quickly an eagle can gain altitude and precisely how its incredible wings are adapted to achieve such breathtaking, effortless lift.

If you won the lottery and all the sensible stuff was taken care of, what’s the first completely ridiculous thing you’d buy? For me, this personal watercraft from Yamaha. Well, it's not utterly ridiculous, but the all-new CrossWave comes with a hefty price tag. Online discussions and forums suggest that the price could fall in the range of $20,000 to $40,000, with some estimates placing a fully equipped model at the higher end of that spectrum. This WaveRunner looks like a cross between a jet ski and a small utility boat. It measures almost 13 feet long, over five feet wide, and can carry up to four people. Yes, it can fit in your garage. Other features include a rod storage compartment, a dedicated anchor locker in the bow, dual in-hull stern compartments, dual touchscreen displays, including a 7" Simrad NSX chartplotter and fishfinder, 8" footwell speakers with Bluetooth, and a 1.9L High Output Marine Engine.  There's nothing quite like a weekend spent on the water...

Peanuts has been an integral part of many childhoods, and beyond the comic strip itself the character design really appeals to me. I like the Peanuts movie too, but not as much as my daughter. And I thought today's kids would have no interest in Charlie Brown, Snoopy, Peppermint Patty, Linus and Lucy. If you like drawing, this easy, step-by-step tutorial will show you how to draw yourself as a Peanuts character. All you need is any device/app or even a pencil and paper. The video is also an advertisement for The Snoopy Show , which is now available on Apple TV+. [h/t: The Verge ]

The Ducati Pro-I Evo can be yours for under $500. It's foldable, has an aluminum alloy frame, and features a 350W motor with a 280Wh battery for a top speed of around 15mph. Range is estimated at 25 to 30 kilometers on a single charge and the vehicle also has an LED display that connects to an integrated User App developed by Italdesign. Pretty slick. The bad news is, it appears to be a rebranded Xiaomi electric scooter. While disheartening somehow, it means you can technically own a Ducati if you buy one.

Here's another product designed to handle the traumatic aftermath of yet another mishap.

You can marvel at all these technological innovations—and weep.

At first glance, these colorful three-legged stools look like they're made of wood, but the material is actually from used face masks. It is the brainchild of a South Korean design student named Kim Ha-neul , who also plans to make other furniture pieces such as chairs, tables and lights. Using a heat gun, Kim melts the masks down into moulds at temperatures of 300°C. It takes about 1,500 masks to create one stool, which he calls "Stack and Stack". WATCH:

These days you're a lot more likely to see adults zipping around the city streets of Manila, Cebu, and Davao on top of electric scooters. They're easy to use, easy to store, and fun to ride. But the great thing about this foldable unit is that it's adorned with a three-pointed star.

As parents, we want our children to have the toys that will foster their creativity and boost their imagination. LEGO sets are fine. But there are plenty of other options aside from those Danish plastic bricks. One of my daughter's favorite things to do is making toy figures out of discarded cardboard boxes. She also has a strong penchant for technology, so I guess this recent project by Studio Fantasio would really appeal to her. [h/t: designboom ]

a-ha's Take on Me is one of the most beloved singles of the 1980s. The turbocharged synthpop ballad was released by the Norwegian trio more than 30 years ago, but it still slaps. Sure, the video made the song a hit, but the track also has a wickedly catchy riff and it still sounds fresh even in today's pop music standards. Take on Me has been redone by a diverse array of artists, including Weezer, Sara Bareilles, and Aqualung. But I think this is more interesting. Dylan Tallchief makes music using different tools. If you'd like to make your own music in Microsoft Excel, be sure to check out his video demonstration .

In some cases it may be necessary to conceal the identity of the people you record. A common method used by journalists and photographers is the silhouette effect. Sometimes they also use editing softwares to both blur images and distort voices beyond recognition. But if you don't have enough time for the above-mentioned techniques, a new camera app promises to be the most comprehensive solution. Aptly called Anonymous Camera , the app offers real-time face anonymizing while you're shooting images. Faces can be blocked with solid colors, static noise, or a blur effect. You can even choose to hide people's whole bodies and distort audio tracks in videos. It is free to download on the App Store and costs just $1.99 if you want to remove the AC watermark from video recording. Other valuable features : - Remove metadata: users can choose to delete any and all metadata associated with the video, including time, date, and location. - Split screen: control how much of the frame is...

Artificial Intelligence is undoubtedly changing the nature of creative processes. Computer algorithms have generated numerous paintings, poetry, music, and even movie scripts. While some people could not keep their hands off these innovations, the question whether AI-created art can really be deemed as art still lingers around. If you want to create photorealistic portraits but you're struggling to see improvement in your depictions, AI seems to have an answer to your problem. As stated on its project page, the DeepFaceDrawing app "allows users with little training in drawing to produce high-quality images from rough or even incomplete freehand sketches." Check out the demo video below: Impressive. But I still believe that while machines can produce stunning visuals, it doesn't mean they will replace artists.

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.

I'll be honest. I'm suspicious of people who have this obsession to report everything they are doing, 24/7 to social media. It disturbs me when someone thinks that his "friends" actually care if he had a roasted duck for dinner or if dyeing her hair purple helps fill the social interaction void in her life. Worse: it completely freaks me out when somebody retweets every goddamn breaking news as if other people don't have access to the Internet. It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a lot of people are addicted to social media. But for every person glued to a screen, there are others for whom the technology no longer holds such an allure – and there are more of them than you might think. There's no doubt sites such as Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram are keeping us sane in isolation. But it can also be a land mine of potential blunders that at best cause discomfort — and, at worst, cost you your job. Five years from now, we might look back at the eme...

I mostly work from home, so in many ways the quarantine has affected me less than others. However, just like most homeworkers, I am still dreaming of traveling. Australia has been on my bucket list for a long time. I want to explore the outback, watch a show at the Sydney Opera House, relax at Byron Bay, and visit this massive wave pool.

The humble floppy disk was in its day a marvel of technology. When I was in high school, diskette swapping was huge. We would exchange basic tools, like programs to create ASCII art— you know, you arrange characters and numbers to create, say, a butterfly, that kind of stuff. The floppy disk now only lives on as a save icon in most software applications and, if you're a fan of obsolete tech, you'd be able to appreciate these coasters by PXLprincess . Unlike the real ones, these colorful pixel art pieces are made from fused perler beads and are not vulnerable to magnets and heat. Interested? You can get one over on Etsy for about $4 a piece.

Typically when you hear about photography taking years to complete, it's some epic Martin Scorsese movie like The Irishman , not a short time-lapse video. But that's exactly what Jonas Høholt 's piece JUTLAND II: Breath of the Seasons is—a three and a half-minute clip that took years to shoot—three years, in fact, from early 2017 until early 2020. The beautiful landscapes captured in his home area of Jutland in Denmark, which are more than deserving of its Vimeo Staff Pick, show the peninsula's fascinating change over time. Jonas used two Canon DSLRs, both Canon and Sigma lenses, and a whole bunch of accessories. For those asking how he did it, the Danish photographer posted a tutorial video on YouTube, which captures the entire process. WATCH:
