Airtube Earbuds Play Your Music Only When Your Actually Listening

May 3, 2012 By demarco

I know one pet peeve that I can’t stand is when I’m listening to my music and someone tries to converse with me, well looks like someone has put a stop to this. Designers Sunmi Hwang, Hyunjoo-Lee & Jiwon-Seok have now designed a pair of headphones that actually know when your listening and your not listening. According to Yanko Design, “The earphones are fitted with a pressure sensor in the earbuds. This helps the earphones instinctively understand if the user is still wearing his earphones or has removed them.” Would you invest in these?

Photographer Discovers Another World

April 30, 2012 By demarco

Photographer Sharon Johnstone captures this amazing image of a Dandelion flower seed blowing in the wind.

With macro photography I escape to another little world. I love exploring the tiny details in nature that often get over looked. I love finding beautiful colours and abstract compositions within nature and can even get passionate about photographing moss or a blade of grass.

I think I am at my happiest when I am crawling around on my hands and knees exploring a small patch of moss dripping with sparkling dew in the early morning sun.

2013 Mercedes-Benz G-Class/G63 AMG

April 12, 2012 By demarco

Personally one of my favorite cars, so it’s only right that I show some love and write about the G-Wag. So to the regular eye the exterior of the car doesn’t have to many changes, but the interior has been totally revamped. The new G63 AMP will come with a 544 hp bi-turbo engine. The car will release sometime in August 2012.

Full-Size Mercedes-Benz Is Made Entirely Out Of Wood

April 4, 2012 By bdatsimple

Five thousand Euros is a pretty great price for a 1955 Mercedes Benz 300SL Gullwing, even if it’s a non-runner. Especially this one. Because none of the electricals work, and the tires can’t hold air. But that’s okay, because it’s an incredible hand-carved actual-sized teak replica built by a German craftsman in Duisberg, Germany.
