COASTERDYNAMIX

Check out CoasterDynamix, the world's premier manufacturer of realistic roller coaster models. These aren't just kid's toys (like the K'nex or Spacewarp building toys) -- CoasterDynamix kits are fully functional, highly detailed scale models.

My pal intocoasters back East has customized the heck out of his, by adding his own block brakes and software so he can control three trains at once. And, he's even put a miniature wireless camera on-board so you can watch the ride (click links to see his videos, they're pretty neat).

URBAN CAMOUFLAGE

Check out this hilarious art project.

Don't miss the videos.

(Reminds me a little bit of my pal Justin's art installation, Party Monster.)

GORILLA GLASSES

Problem: gorillas might attack you if you look them in the eye.

One zoo's solution: these stylish glasses.
