POPSWorld record remote control car jump. I have an RC car similar to these (though it's got a lot of dust on it these days) and I can tell you that when you get that kind of power behind these things, it's nearly impossible to go straight let alone land a jump of any kind. Nice job!

POPSI finally get to watch a Packers game and wow, what a game! I have to admit that I'm a little upset about the no calls as most packers fans are but honestly, they never should have had the chance to get that far in the first place. If our defense would have sucked any less, we would have had the game in the bag and it never would have come down to a penalty in overtime making the difference. I thank Arizona's kicker for giving us a second chance but I have to admit I did feel pretty bad for him... I really feel bad for the packers offense though. If only they had the defense to back them up. Then again, we can all talk big but when it comes down to it, none of us are actually in there playing the game...

POPS240-Year-Old Elm Tree Coming Down... Wow, what a story! I'm partial to tree's because I love working with wood and being involved with scouts gives you a new respect for them but I think anyone will find this story, well, many emotions for me...moving, inspiring, saddening... I highly recommend you read the whole story at the source.

POPSLED traffic lights are too efficient? It would seem so! It turns out that they don't produce enough heat to melt snow like there older, less efficient, brothers and thereby causing traffic accidents. Who would of thought? It will be interesting to see how they solve this one.. I would imagine some sort of temperate/moisture meter that triggers a heating element?

POPSGuitar o rama... Guitar hero done full house Christmas lights style! I've been looking into this Light o Rama quite a bit lately and it looks like it's pretty cool stuff though this is the first interactive version I've seen. I'd like to see it done with some more intense music but for a first round this is pretty awesome. For those that don't know, Light o Rama is a light controller designed for controlling ornamental lighting like this. You can find some pretty amazing displays on youtube if you look around.

POPSUSB ports built right into the outlet...it's about time! I would imagine these will be very expensive but when you figure most name brand adapters are no less than $20 these probably won't be overly priced at $40. Obviously you couldn't retrofit your entire house with them (unless money isn't an object) but if you replaced the commonly used ones with them it would probably be worth it.

POPSIs this what Black Friday has come to?
This is ridiculous! How did someone not stop this person before they got so much piled up above that poor kid? I really hate Black Friday! It truly brings out the worst in everyone and the retail industry has tried to make it out to be such a great time when in fact it's complete and total madness. Sure most people don't put there children in danger like this but how many put themselves in danger just to get to the hot item of the year? Has there been a single Black Friday in the past several years that we have not heard about someone getting trampled or a major fight breaking out? The sad part is that we only hear about the worst one! My wife goes every year at 4:30AM and I always get to hear the stories about the insane people... It's a non stop fight for the right to say you got the best deal. Seriously, you don't need that one "hot" item that bad. Go buy 3 other things instead for less money that are on sale as well and save yourself the hassle and I bet the person that

POPSA clock with no hands makes a pretty awesome clock! Some of the things people come up with these days is just amazing and this is definitely one of those things. It's so simple yet so genius! In case you can't see them, the hands are projected using LED's around the perimeter of the face of the clock.

POPSSubmarine turned into a home theater.. Someday I'm going to have a home theater but I can only dream of ever having one this cool. It's nice to see an artistic touch put into one of these since most are designed to be perfect listening rooms which usually means very boring...

POPSGuitar hero played with soccer/foot balls... This is awesome. The technology behind it is pretty simple, and the ability to hit the spots is quite simple for the people doing it (they are serious pro's) but the idea of it all together is really quite genius IMO.

POPSCell phone orchestra... Absolutely Amazing! This is an unbelievable feet of cell phone technology. They had to film it at off hours due to the insane text's per second throughput they were attempting. Please go to the source and check out the video on the making of the commercial. This is real and done with real text messages.

POPSJameco managers take paycuts so they don't have to layoff anyone. If we had more company's like this, the whole country would be in better shape. Obviously we'd still have problems but even if it cut the rise in unemployment by a small amount, it would make a big difference. Anyway, my hats off to these guys! I will definitely be buying my components from them in the future.

POPSUnbelievable projection mapping video! It's very long and slightly redundant in spots but well worth watching the whole thing. Few things amaze me quite like projection mapping and this is an amazing example it.

POPSCybraphon - An emotional autonomous band! First I have to say that I really love the sound of mechanical bands such as this so that does way on my feelings about it. That said, it's not the best sounding I've heard but it has to be the best implementation I've seen yet. I love the fact that it's mood is affected by things such as it's friend count on myspace and the number of results on google about it. In fact, me posting this will put it in a better mood and therefore it will play more upbeat music! Sounds like a lot of people I know who's moods are way to affected by there online "status".

POPSDid you know processors start from sand? I must admit I never thought about it before seeing this. Also, I highly recommend going to the source and checking out the full picture story. It is a very cool step by step of the making of a processor.

POPSKey-Ring... A key and key ring in one! Talk about a "Why didn't I think of that" moment... So simple and yet so obvious! Oh well, maybe one day I will have created the thing that causes people to say "Why didn't I think of that".

POPS Very cool interactive LED wall! This has to be one of the best i've seen of this type of technology. Most of the time they are limited to 1 or maybe 2 effects. This one has many many effects. The best part is that it not only tracks motion but also distance from the wall. Very very nicely done!

POPS15 ton grapple controlled by a Wiimote... I think the only thing left to be controlled by a Wiimote is surgery on humans! Seriously, this is both completely insanely nuts for safety reasons but also the coolest damn thing ever. I'd hate to pay the bill when they drop the Wiimote and the grapples collide with each other!
