Although the classic incandescent light bulbs are slowly leaving our homes, they have left a deep mark on human history. Their distinctive shape has given light to billions of people and has been adopted by many newer, more energy-efficient lamps. Like Flyte from Kickstarter. But Flyte is not just another economical LED lamp with a classic physiognomy, but a light bulb that floats in the air with the help of magnetic levitation and induction.

Sometimes I walk around the keyboard, sometimes in nature. One time I twist the heels, the other time the kitchen. I press the trigger once, the pedals a second time. And one time I play the role of a moviegoer, another time a nanny. Life offers such a wide range of things that it would be pointless to dip your brush in just a color or two, right?
If the Batmobile and motorcycle from the movie Tron had a "baby", then it would probably be the Chevrolet-FNR. A sexy electric concept of an autonomous vehicle was presented at the Shanghai Motor Show, which is gaining more and more popularity. On it, many manufacturers no longer focus only on the Chinese market, but reveal their plans for the future there. Mercedes did it this year, so did Chevrolet.
The French artist Gilles-Alexandre Deschaud signed the first short film (Chase Me), an animation where the characters are not computer-animated or, for example, made of plasticine (Chickens on the Run), but printed with the help of a 3D printer.
The travel portal TripAdvisor once again invited its users to choose the most beautiful island in the world. Are you interested in how they decided?
Natalie Sharp decided to turn her face into album covers for this Record Store Day. This time, she decided to upgrade her art project compared to last year. She turned to Facebook for help and before she knew it she had already "signed" 40 different covers. Since this is her hobby and not her job, she couldn't cover them all, but already 11 is a lot with the fact that she spent 8 hours on one.
We are gifted with 86,600 seconds every day. Now imagine that 86,600 euros appeared in your account every morning. At the end of the day, that money would be gone, whether you spent it or not. And the next morning they would get a new 86,600 euros. Why not do everything in your power to spend that money, because you don't want anything to go to waste. Why not do the same with your time? A video that will change your outlook on life.
Fancy a quick film history lesson? An idea for a tour? Joris Faucon Grimaud prepared a seven-minute video collage of a few seconds of scenes from films that left an indelible mark. The first scenes date back to the distant year 1895, and we also walk past all of our favorites that we saw as children and adults, as well as those that we haven't yet, but should.
Donkervoort D8 has always liked to attract attention, and its latest version, the Donkervoort D8 GTO Bare Naked Carbon Edition, which is "drowning" in carbon fiber, is no less of a performer. If it doesn't convince you with its shape, it will with its numbers. 380 horsepower, 475 Nm of torque, 2.8 seconds from 0 to 100 and a top speed of 270 km/h. The driving experience here is also as raw as in previous models. It has no ABS, no ESP, no power steering and no electronic support.
The Hubble Space Telescope celebrates 25 years. Since it was put into Earth's orbit a quarter of a century ago, it has greatly changed our view of space. The venerable jubilee, which will be celebrated in 60 places in Europe alone, is an opportunity to take a look at what the famous telescope has contributed. He certainly had a hand in many astronomical discoveries, including helping to figure out the size and age of the universe, which is why it originally came into being.
The boxing match between Floyd Mayweather and Manny Pacquiao will be a match of superlatives. A duel that many had already begun to believe would never happen, but only got the green light two months ago. The heat is now approaching its peak and both the notorious American and the Filipino boxing star are confident that they will walk out of the ring in Las Vegas on May 2, 2015 with victory and the title of the Welterweight Champion in all variations.
In one of the side streets in Kichijoji, a suburb of Tokyo, architect Kengo Kuma and his associates opened a restaurant and bar Tetchan Yakitori bar, which is decorated with colorful cables. The space is mostly furnished with items made from recycled materials, including ethernet cables, which gives the restaurant an unusual look. Meanwhile, the bar counter, including chairs and tables, is made from melted scraps of acrylic by-products, giving them a transparent look.
The modern way of life, roughly summed up by working with a computer, watching TV and driving a car, forces us to sit "excessively". Which is not healthy. At the same time, in a busy schedule, it is difficult to keep track of how physically active we are during the day. That's why the Human app is here, which uses sensors in the iPhone to record every movement we make (walking, climbing stairs, riding a bike, running,...) and encourages us to be physically active for at least 30 minutes a day .
