“Designed by Daniel Pouzet and Fred Frety, the Nestrest hanging lounger is made of DeDon fiber weaved to provide sturdiness, durability and privacy. There’s even a wide variety of colors, patterns, and options to personalize it to your locale. The Nestrest can be hung from a tree, perched on an outlook, or placed on the ground in your backyard or patio for an instant getaway. Make it a destination for reading, drinking or just soaking in a moment of solitude.”

Michigan’s Abandoned Dinosaur Park

Published April 29, 2010 Cool stuff , Recreation , Travel 1 Comment

“The Prehistoric Forest reportedly opened in 1963 and closed in 1999. At one point, this eight-acre property had a waterfall, a smoking volcano, and a waterslide. Now it just has dilapidated dinosaurs by sculptor James Q. Sidwell, fences and motion sensors (to keep out vandals), and the ghostly laughter of unborn dinosaur babies lurking around every corner. This is definitely one of those places that’s more unsettling in the daytime.”

Not only is it left at the mercy of the elements, this prehistoric park could be also yours for the asking price of $548,000!

Flowing City Coasters

Published March 24, 2010 Cool stuff , Recreation Leave a Comment

“Modeled after the city of Taipei in Taiwan, these coasters will slowly flood on a hot Summer’s day when used with a beverage cold enough to product significant condensation on the outside of the glass. First the river will fill up, and as the flood waters continue to rise they’ll make their way into the miniature city via its narrow streets and alleyways. A set of 2 with either a black or clear finish is available from MollaSpace for $12.”

Leica Pinmaster

Published July 29, 2009 Gadget , Recreation Leave a Comment

“Leica, the brand famous for their cameras, is introducing a new gadget to help golfers get “closest to the pin”. A staple of charity golf tournaments, corporate outings and amateur golf tourneys; “closest to the pin” is a contest that involves getting tee shots that make it on the green the closest distance to the flagstick. The Pinmaster Rangefinder is a tool that gives golfers the upper hand by measuring the exact distance to the pin. With a range of up to 820 yards, all the user needs to do is aim the Pinmaster’s eye-safe laser beam at the pin. It also features a 7x magnification and a large field view of 347 feet at a distance of 1,000 yards (ideal for playing peeping tom).”  (via SwipeLife)
