These ice straws are an awesome idea ? especially for summer.

We were always amazed by Scaramanga’s flying AMC Matador in The Man With The Golden Gun, and now you can own your very own flying car. Or is that driving plane? Actually, it’s the Terrafugia Transition ($195,000). This “light sport” aircraft features electrically-powered folding wings that, when paired with the rear-facing propeller, allow it to fly at 115 mph for up to 460 miles.

It’s the ultimate getaway vehicle, provided you, your sidekick/henchman, and your loot don’t weigh more than 450 lbs.
Considering the amount of time people spend on their mobile devices, especially their smartphones, you

Very few resorts manage to get all the ingredients right when opening but we can assure you, this beauty of a hotel has ticked all the right boxes. The resort, the location, the backdrop, the mountain walks, the spa, the room, the excellent service, the attention to detail, the happy staff, and the food. According to The Coolhunter “Saffire is truly one of Australia’s most exciting places to stay.”
Amenities included, of course, wireless internet and remote controlled blinds, but the best part was the sweet turn-down service. They will supply a hot water bottle for the bed and a thermos of hot chocolate as it is winter in Tasmania.

Just about everyone loves a hot and tasty pizza, so why change something that already works? The K! Pizzacone shop — co-owned and managed by Ingo Pinto — in midtown set out to do just that. Pizzacones, “which taste more like a calzone and have less sauce than a standard slice,” start at $4.90, about twice the price of a regular slice
If you’re a big fan, like us, of vintage photography, you’re not going to get much more retro than the Polaroid SX-70 OneStep Land Camera ($210). Developed in collaboration with The Impossible Project and limited to just 50 units, these hand-refurbished Land Cams feature a white and black body with a seventies-licious rainbow running from the lens to the output slot, a simple black strap, and come with two boxes of B&W/sepia PX 100 film. The perfect real-world compliment to all those grainy, processed iPhone pics you’ve been snapping.
