Slovenian wooden camera Ondu Pinhole MK II on Kickstarter following in the footsteps of its predecessor

The Slovenian team Ondu, led by Elvis Halilović, is forging the iron while it's hot, as two years after the success of the wooden camera on Kickstarter, it returns to the scene of the crime with an improved line of Ondu Pinhole MK II cameras. The second-generation Ondu reached the $20,000 "high" bar on its first day, beating its previous time by 24 hours, when it managed to reach the set goal in about 48 hours. Compared to its predecessor, the wooden camera is more durable, and the sophisticated magnetic system means fewer problems with lighting.

The biggest Lions dessert of 2015 – this time a cheese roll in the length of Petr Prevac's record-breaking flight

On Saturday, May 23, 2015, Stritarjeva ulica in Tromostovje will be too short for the longest, heaviest and tastiest cheese roll from Žito, as it will measure as much as 250 meters, the distance that our jumping ace Peter Prevc flew as the first person in history. It is the 6th charity event of the Biggest Lions dessert, where funds will be collected to help blind and partially sighted children and young people through the sale of the wrapper.

7 Business Books That Give You More Than an MBA Degree

Let's leave aside the question of whether an MBA is inevitable for successful career development, as many modern managers believe. There are hundreds of educational programs out there, organized by many universities, but good practice does not require going to lecture halls and shelling out large sums of money. All you have to do is go to a bookstore or Amazon and think of one of the following books that are "worth more" than an MBA degree.

Ori – a Slovenian gardening meter that hopes to succeed on Kickstarter

The Slovenian Society of Guardians of Seeds went to Kickstarter to get start-up funds for its gardening meter, which goes by the name of Ori. His task is to determine the optimal distances between the seeds of a dozen of the most frequently sown vegetables or crops, such as tomatoes, lettuce and beans. But that is far from all he can do. In addition to the template, there is also a colored legend that tells us which vegetable goes into which of the holes surrounded by a rainbow of triangles.

Would you drive a tank? Drive a Tank offers driving to civilians.

Have you ever dreamed of driving a tank? For sure. Especially if you ever walked around Tivoli as a child and passed the Museum of Recent History of Slovenia or if you ever watched a movie by Arnold Schwarzenegger. Now it is possible. Where else than in the USA, where the Drive a Tank company offers tank driving to civilians as well. Different packages are available where you can experience different tanks and shoot with modern or weapons from some other times.

The 7 best cycling routes in the world

Although we can never be bored on a bike in Slovenia and the variety of cycling routes can satisfy just about every taste, sometimes it's fun to go across the border as well. That's why this time we present to you the seven best cycling routes in the world, which are also interesting for motoring trips, but which do not reach the knees from a bicycle perspective.

Cycling Tech

With the Linka smart lock, you will never be part of the #kickstarter stolen bike statistics

In 2014, the police in Slovenia recorded as many as 2,682 missing bicycles, and the actual number of stolen bicycles is much higher, as not everyone reports the theft. The possibility of a thief working and a bad and cheap lock (for example, a thin knitting needle) is almost the same for a thief today as leaving a bicycle unlocked. Thus, you have a high probability of becoming part of the black statistics. But not with the fixed Linka smart lock, which "recruits" money on Kickstarter. Also equipped with a siren, it attaches to the bicycle frame and is connected to your smartphone via Bluetooth technology.

JBL Smart ForTwo – the smallest concert hall on wheels

There's nothing like the pleasure of driving down an empty highway with the music cranked all the way. Now imagine that you can raise the volume up to a "concert" 150 decibels. This is what you will get in the very different Daimler two-seater Smart ForTwo, which has joined forces with the audio equipment manufacturer JBL, whose equipment is appropriately called the world's smallest concert hall on wheels.

UltraTuner app - the most accurate guitar tuner

Guitar tuners are a great piece of equipment for strumming, because even if you don't have perfect pitch, you can fine-tune your guitar with electronic tuners. But in today's times, such devices are quite redundant, as their functions are easily taken over by multi-purpose smartphones. Why have a special utility when you can have a tuner right in the form of an app. UltraTuner embodied the spirit of the times. It is a guitar tuning application for users of iOS and Android devices, which is also optimized for the Apple Watch.

Did you know that sitting on the toilet seat is bad for your health?

It's not bacteria, but toilet bowls that we fear because they cause bowel problems such as constipation, hemorrhoids, polyps, bowel cancer, painful swelling, and even Crohn's disease. All this is largely to blame for sitting on the toilet bowl, which is a modern invention, because for centuries people have performed the basic physiological need of the plug, which requires less effort and reduces the risk of problems with the digestive organ in the abdomen. But before you start digging up the bathroom, check how you can solve the problem of modern toilets in a more elegant way.

I Could Eat A Horse - Horse, Human, Unicorn and Tyrannosaurus Spaghetti Scooper

How much spaghetti to put in the pot is a question as old as spaghetti itself. Because no matter how much you throw in the pot, spaghetti always miraculously (okay, okay, not miraculously, but with the help of hydration) turn into an oversized meal. The I Could Eat A Horse Scoop will unlock that and you can finally enjoy a meal that's just the right size and not end up with spaghetti crawling out of your ears.

Heartography or how Nikon turned dogs into photographers

At Nikon, they developed the Heartography system, which allows dogs to take pictures of things that excite them. It recognizes this through the dog's heartbeat, which is detected by the collar, and the result is sent to a camera holder, which the dog carries like a barrel Bernard. Every time the furry four-legged friend sees something that excites him and gets his heart rate up, the photographer snaps a photo. So they can show people what they like, what they saw, what they did, where they went, what they smelled and who they hung out with.
