On one hand, I'm glad Verizon didn't get passed up for the latest iteration of the Galaxy S like it did last time (no, the Galaxy Nexus doesn't count). On the other hand, I just bought a Galaxy Nexus 6 months ago! Why do Android phone makers insist on a product life cycle that is shorter than the attention span of a gerbil? It almost makes me want to switch to an iPhone. Almost.

The 10 Most Awesome Pools in the World?
http://gizmodo.com/5914228/the-10-most-awesome-pools-in-the-world
The second on the list (above) looks pretty awesome, although the height might terrify me. Same with #5. Would like to try #6 and #9 sometime for sure.

HAND Stylus
http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/hand/hand-stylus?ref=live
I'd been looking at getting a capacitive stylus and was close to pulling the trigger on the Wacom Bamboo Stylus since it had the smallest diameter tip I could find on the market (6mm), but then today I stumbled on this stylus on Kickstarter. The tip is 4mm - thinner than any other passive (i.e., not Wacom or Ntrig) stylus I've seen - and it's retractable to prevent wear. Seriously considering funding this instead of buying something currently available.

It was bound to happen sometime... and the trailer features wing chun movements! Granted, some of them are completely bizarre from a WingTsun perspective, but it's just cool to see WC/WT in a video game.
Cookoo!

This one looks more aesthetically pleasing than the Pebble watch, but probably less functional, which is too bad. If only they could somehow mash them together. 42 more days to raise another $70k or so.

Picking a career by picking colors
http://www.careerpath.com/career-tests/color-test/
I think this career test is confused, because it told me I'm a "Creator" and that I should be an Advertising Executive, Architect, Web Designer, Creative Director, Public Relations, Fine or Commercial Artist, Interior Decorator, Lawyer, Librarian, Musician, Reporter, Art Teacher, Broadcaster, Technical Writer, English Teacher, Photographer, Medical Illustrator, Landscape Architect, Exhibit Builder, or Package Designer. I can't see myself being any of those other than lawyer (current occupation), and maybe a librarian. I doubt that those who know me would consider me a creator.
Then again, maybe the fact that it correctly identified my current occupation makes it pretty accurate. But how exactly does a lawyer count as a "creator"? It doesn't seem to bear any connection or resemblance to the other jobs in the list. I don't feel like I really "create" anything as a lawyer.
