Budding town planners and mini-architecture aficionados should enjoy sitting down to get handsy with these Blockitecture sets from Areaware.

May 06, 10:40PM
With the blazing speed of the internet mitigating our every expectation—especially wait times—it's no wonder we get impatient so easily.

May 06, 9:45PM
GoPlug is a Kickstarter project aiming to cram backup batteries, USB charging ports, and—for the first time—a true three-prong outlet (or Euro-style two-prong, if that's your jam) into backpacks and luggage. Sounds pretty convenient! But is it something you'd actually use?

Many of us non-Angelenos think of L.A. as a fairly flat place, but it's taken serious manpower to build this sprawling city on such rugged terrain.

Hilarious Ebook Scanning Error Replaces "Arms" With "Anus"
May 06, 8:40PM
Well, this is awkward. You're reading a 19th-century romance novel where the plucky heroine is finally reunited with her lover, so she joyously flings "her anus around his neck." Wait, what? It turns out this is a surprisingly common turn of events in Google Books search. OCR, you sure have some kinky tastes.

May 06, 8:30PM
There's a new PlayStation Vita handheld out today. It's called the Vita Slim, and while for the most part it's unchanged, it does improve on a number of small things compared with the original Vita. Though there is the issue of that new screen…
Animals Are Eating Other Animals to Get High
May 06, 8:20PM
What, you think that man alone actively seeks the sweet release of chemical intoxication? Child, please, the need to get tanked is ubiquitous throughout nature, and has been since we first crawled out of the primordial ooze and realized life on land wasn't all sunshine and rainbows. From frog-licking horses to puffer-chewing dolphins, here are four animals that just love to get lifted.

The Future of Cars Will Be Awesome for Enthusiasts (and Everyone Else)
May 06, 7:20PM
Hang out with an old-time car enthusiast, and you're bound to hear some serious grousing about the state of modern cars. "Can't fix 'em with a screwdriver like you used to," et cetera, ad nauseum. Perhaps that's true. But that doesn't mean that a world of electric-powered, computer-controlled , self-driving cars will put an end to the hacking and hot-rodding that some of us so deeply enjoy. In fact, tomorrow's car technology opens up a whole world of opportunity for gearheads. And Jalopnik's Damon Lavrinc is here to explain exactly how awesome that future will be.

Welcome to the Bedroom of the Future
May 06, 6:00PM
In sci-fi movies, people of the future live in impossibly futuristic houses full of screens and robots and dreams. We see them wake up as an automatic curtain opens, and they saunter over to a closet where their clothes move on a conveyor belt. It's a real world facsimile of a Jetsons episode. But it's not the real world.
