ICON 100: A5 Limited Edition Recreational Aircraft

YouTube player

I’ve written several times on various aircraft that have caught my attention. Each time, I say it’s my favorite aircraft of all time. The ICON 100 – A5 Limited may not be my favorite but it is still unique and worthy enough to briefly write about.

Besides its sexy and sleek design, the recreational aircraft stands out because it is capable of taking off and landing on both land and water. ICON first introduced the aircraft back in 2008 and was to be in production mode later that year. However, various modifications set the launch back by several years and it is now finally ready to be produced next year (2012).

Necker Nymph – World’s First Underwater Aircraft

World's First Underwater Aircraft

There are very few guys out there that can be considered a finished man. Besides Jonathan Goldsmith, the most interesting man in the world, I would say that Sir Richard Branson comes in at a close second. Branson has pretty much done it all and is one of the richest people in the world. He has spent plenty of money on commercializing space flight, completed ridiculous across the world adventures, and now he is ready to conquer the sea.

His company has designed a catamaran called the Necker Belle which happens to be one of the fastest on the water. The cool thing about the Necker Belle is that it boasts the world’s first underwater aircraft dubbed as the Necker Nymph.  The Necker Nymph is a three-person aero-submarine capable of diving down to a depth of 30 meters to explore the deep without using any human power.

The EdgeWalk at CN Tower in Toronto

Scary CN Tower Edge Walk in Toronto

When I first heard about this, “Insane in the Membrane” is what came to mind. The EdgeWalk is probably the only cool thing Toronto has to offer and has about the same “shit your pants” factor as skydiving and bungee jumping.

The EdgeWalk attraction opened up to the public on August 1st and is the world’s highest full circle hands-free walk on a 5 ft. wide ledge encircling the top of the Tower’s main pod. To be clear, this 5 ft ledge has no side rails! Thrill seekers get an opportunity to walk in groups of six while attached to an overhead safety rail via a trolley and harness system. The participants who are crazy enough are allowed to lean back over the edge with nothing but air and amazing views of Lake Ontario 1168 feet beneath them.

I would like to think that I take pretty good care of myself when it comes to shaving and grooming. Despite what some people say about men removing body hair, there is absolutely nothing wrong with it and all the hot women dig it. Ever since I got an iStubble by Conair in April, I haven’t actually shaved my facial hair and have been walking around with my “designer stubble”. But after seeing what Bolin Webb has to offer, I’m considering switching back to shaving razors.

The Bolin Webb is like no other razor that I have ever seen. The R1 and R1-S feature a sexy and sleek design but with functionality in mind. If there was such a thing as a “Sporty Razor Handle”, this is about as close as you’re going to get. Just by looking at it, you can see that the razor handles were inspired by a sports car of some sort.

Pocket Chainsaw – Good Things Come In Small Packages

Saw that fits in your pocket

Having a chainsaw is one hell of a handy tool to have around the house. A motorized chainsaw is obviously not for everyone. And your standard saw is a good alternative to the motorized chainsaw but it’s still not compact enough. The solution is the Pocket Chainsaw.

The Pocket Chainsaw is perfect for hacking things up such as tree limbs that are getting in the way of the drive way or perhaps the perfect accessory for a camping trip. What makes the Pocket Chainsaw so ideal is the size and its capabilities. It’s small enough to transport in your pocket yet large enough for the job. You could say it’s a grower! 😉

Keep Dry With The Water Leak Alarm

I recently found out about this very handy little gadget called the Water Leak Alarm. This thing reminds me of a little water filter and is able to detect even the tiniest of water drops when it gets close to the alarm.

This thing is very easy to use as there is no programming involved or buttons to push. Simply place the alarm in any area that can be potentially flooded such as under sinks, in the basement near main pipes, toilets, water heater, and close to a washing machine.  Even if a small amount of water touches the detector, a loud alarm (100dB) will sound for up to 24 hours. The batteries are built-in and non-replaceable. But the good news is that the battery will
