What’s the best way to elevate a family holiday gathering? Tactical warfare! Nerf’s latest rolling drone should win a few battles.

Show notes

DJI’s Phantom line of consumer drones is the 800-pound gorilla of the industry. And now, the company’s latest flying machine, the Phantom 4 Pro, looks like it’s poised to be the new king of the skies. The Phantom 4 Pro is an upgrade from last year’s Phantom 4.

Review: Acer Swift 7 Nov 16, 2016

Show notes

Acer says its latest ultrabook, the Swift 7, offers “unprecedented portability.” The basis for this claim? A laptop that is 12mm thick at its widest point and under 10mm thick if you ignore the rubber feet. That is thin! How thin? It’s thinner than an Apple MacBook Air (18mm) and thinner than the Microsoft Surface Pro 4 (15mm with keyboard). At 10mm, it flirts with the thickness of many tablets, and is even thinner than some models on the market.

WIRED Book Club: A Trip Inside the Mind of Jeff VanderMeer Nov 15, 2016

Show notes

When you’re contractually obligated to publish three books in a single year, you can’t dilly-dally in dreamland. Unless, of course, your subconscious is as weird and fecund as Jeff VanderMeer’s.

The Art of Perfectly Reviving Decades-Old Land Cruisers Nov 14, 2016

Show notes

Juan Diego Calle’s grandfather bought a sky blue FJ40 Land Cruiser in 1968. He kept it for 14 years, then sold it and bought a sky blue 1982 FJ40. When he died, Juan’s cousin restored the old Toyota and showed it to Juan and his brother Nelson. “When we saw the work,” Juan says, “we said, ‘We have to own our grandfather’s truck.'” They brought the Land Cruiser from Bogota to Miami, and soon had the itch to restore more of the faithful old SUVs.

Trump’s Infrastructure Fix: Let Somebody Else Spend $1 Trillion Nov 11, 2016

Show notes

In his first address as president-elect, Donald Trump played the platitudes. He spoke of being a president for all Americans, of healing divisions, of unleashing potential. He avoided specifics of any kind beyond a few key areas, including infrastructure. “We are going to fix our inner cities and rebuild our highways, bridges, tunnels, airports, schools, hospitals,” Trump said. “We’re going to rebuild our infrastructure, which will become, by the way, second to none.

Show notes

With Eagle Flight, now you too can experience all the freedom and majesty of flight—coupled with all of the restrictiveness of a videogame. If you’re a VR early adopter, you should probably try out Ubisoft’s first-person eagle simulator.
