It’s Thursday. I’m not sure what to call this thing, but whatever it is, it was seen by one of my readers in Southern Illinois. It’s a beastly looking contraption that appears to be some sort of a custom trike built out of spare semi parts. While interesting to look at, I wouldn’t want to be anywhere near that thing on the highway.

Check out the gallery below for a closer look.

It’s Wednesday. The video featured today was suggested by one of my readers. It’s comes from Iron City Garage and it’s packed with automotive goodness from a one owner collection. Corvettes, Lamborghini, Ferrari, and even classic Schwinn bikes are all included. The amount of eye candy is just unbelievable.

It’s Tuesday. They’re called Moonwalkers and Shift Robotics claims they can to increase your walking speed by 250%. Do they work? Will they kill you? Will they kill others? Check out the video!

Watch Wired’s Brent Rose test shoes that claim to make you walk 250% faster. The shoes are called Moonwalkers and the idea behind them is that they put an electric moving sidewalk under your feet—think the moving sidewalks at the airport. They’re designed and made by Shift Robotics.

The first thing Rose says when he tests the shoes is that it really does feel like he has a moving sidewalk underneath his feet. These mechanical shoes have little wheels underneath them that automatically break as you come to a stop, but they aren’t just “heelys for grownups” the video explains. They’re powered by brushless motors and machine learning.

Watch Rose take the shoes out for a spin in a series of tests, and give his overall opinion about the shoes’ usefulness.
