| | 12/26/13 | | Last one out turn off the weekend. | | | | | | | BANK SHOT | Scratching That Scrooge McDuck Itch | | There’s a gigantic century-old Swiss bank vault for sale right now on the Internet. It comes with 1,619 safe-deposit boxes, 1,619 safe-deposit box keys and roughly 15 tons of loose gold coins. It doesn’t come with a diving board. Rectify that. | | | | | | | | | MINI ME | You: The Action Figure | | If you’ve ever dreamed of standing in front of your computer, having it scan an image of your body and then sending that scan to a company that’ll use it to create a 1:20-scale figurine of yourself, well, congratulations, it’s your lucky day. Also, how do you remember dreams? | | | | | | | | | PRINT SHOP | Pictures for Sale in This New Gallery | | A Sikh dressed as Captain America. Some barbed-wire fences in Baghdad. A wild American bison. A pile of broken computers. The portrait of some woman named Heidi. A candid shot of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers cheerleaders stretching. So... pretty sure you’ll be able to find something. | | | | | | | | | BOOM BOOM PLOW | Like Uber... for Snowplows | | Somewhere in the world right now, it’s snowing. If one of those places happens to be your driveway: 1) Download this app. It summons on-demand snowplows. 2) Summon a snowplow. 3) Watch the snowplow plow. 4) Sip a hot toddy somewhere inside. Where it’s warm. Admire your delegation skills. | | | | | | | | | POLAROID RAGE | Compromising Photos from the ’80s | | Maripol. She’s famous for inventing Madonna’s “look.” She’s also famous for taking a bunch of explicit Polaroids that technically pass as art. Now: she’s collected some of her most provocative images and made a book out of them. In the business, they call that a page-turner. | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Sure, the Samsung Galaxy Note 3 is a cool smartphone with a 13-megapixel camera and a 5.7-inch HD screen. But, like Batman, it works best with a sidekick: the Galaxy Gear keeps the text and email notifications coming right to your wrist. Teamwork is a beautiful thing. | | | | |
