Matt Denton, a talented engineer and designer who helped bring Star Wars’ BB-8 to life, turned a 33-year-old Lego Technics motorcycle set into a rideable electric bike.
The giant Technic pieces, created on a 3D printer, assemble just like real Lego, although a hammer is occasionally needed at this scale. The bike is strong enough to support an adult, but is occasionally a challenge to steer.
The new 4K Bravia Projector 9 debuts with several upgrades including 3,400 lumens of brightness and Sony’s “XR Processing technology” to deliver deeper blacks and more accurate colors.
For those not willing to spend $31,999.99 on a home theater upgrade, Sony has also announced the Bravia Projector 8 delivering 2,700 lumens of brightness and a slightly cheaper $15,999.99 price tag.
The company has teamed up with Bandai Namco to create detailed miniature versions of two classic film cameras, the Nikon F and Nikon SP, and two modern digital cameras, the Nikon Z FC and Nikon Z9.
All of the replicas in the Nikon Miniature Collection are non-functional, but they do have removable lenses. Unfortunately, they’re currently only available from gashapon machines in Japan.

Following their animated return in X-Men ‘97 and ongoing resurgence in popularity, Marvel’s mutants will now battle an animated pop-up Sentinel that can destroy ramps in Stern’s latest lavishly-detailed pinball machine.
Three versions are available with custom artwork, animations, and music, and range in price from $6,999 for the Pro Edition, to $12,999 for the Limited Edition machine.
Winamp is fondly remembered for its trippy audio visualizers, and that’s probably why I’m obsessed with Victor Tao’s Song Pong. By altering the game’s physics, the paddle hits perfectly sync to the individual notes of a song.
You can download Tao’s modified version of the game on GitHub, but you’ll need to supply your own MIDI files.
