The Contortionist Bike Is Compact, Bendy and Oddly Sexy, Like an Actual Contortionist
I don't care that the Contortionist bike looks like it would crumple after your first curb hop, or that lugging a 26-inch wheel isn't that much more convenient than wheeling a bike. I just want to watch it fold, forever. More » -

2UNFOLD Laptop Bag Is Probably Too Attractive for You or Your Computer
Your MacBook Air or whatever is a sharp machine, sure. But it's not timeless, handcrafted Italian leather that's transformable into one of eight different styles. More » -

The Nyko Wand May Be Just as Good as the Wiimote, Or Even Better
So far, no one has had the cojones to clone the Wiimote. Then Nyko stepped up to the plate and announced the Wand. Playing with it at CES, I was impressed. More » -

Hitch Suction-Cup Belt Lets You Catch Free Rides, Dice with Death
Mixing suction-cups with the chance of a high-speed death: sounds like fun, and exactly what designer Robert Nightingale has come up with in his "Hitch" concept. It's a smidge like the free-ride skateboard Kouriers in Snow Crash and a smidge like bad building-climbing gear from B-movies. The idea of Hitch is simply to sucker onto a vehicle that's about to move off, using the belt and hand suction cups, thereby gaining yourself a free journey. But Robert also suggests aircraft hangers as a good hitchhiking location, which I'm pretty certain is a one-way ticket to a Darwin Award. [Yanko Design] -

Buy Your Own V22, Kinda: Bell 609 Civilian Tiltrotor Gets Rolled-Out
Forget the improbable promises of the Falx tiltrotor: Bell aircraft has rolled out its 609 civilian tiltrotor for real. Looking and flying like a smaller cousin of the military V22 Osprey, also a Bell vehicle, the 609 will undoubtedly please millionaire business people since it can perform all the rooftop-landing duties of a normal helicopter, but flies twice as fast and can fly 9 passengers up to 25,000 feet altitude. Plus, it'd be undeniably cooler to turn up at your meetings in something that looks like it belongs in a sci-fi flick versus something that reminds people of Magnum, PI. More » -

Exciting NASA Air Competition Full of Dull Planes
NASA handed out $250,000 in prize money this weekend to aircraft designers who competed in a competition to create personal air-vehicles. But don't be fooled by the picture and think that the event was full of flying cars, experimental planes and UFO-shaped discs—all the entrants were standard-looking planes, as you will see in the videos after the jump.
