12 minutes of Batman cameos
Batman and Robin “climbing” the walls of Gotham City usually resulted in a cameo appearance from some of the biggest names in entertainment.
Dick Clark, Sammy Davis Jr., Don Ho and Art Linkletter all made an appearance.
Col. Klink of Hogans Heroes warns the Dynamic Duo against letting Col. Hogan get a rope.
My personal favorite is Andy Devine as Santa Clause.

Classical Harmonica
Buddy Greene shows us that we need to show a little respect to the harmonica.
Flying a drone through fireworks
So this looks awesome… a fireworks display filmed among the fireworks:
Of course… it may not be the smartest move.
Vipukirves by Heikki Kärnä: A new and improved ax that makes chopping wood less of a chore.
Physics and design win again, as a million year old tool gets a more productive makeover.
The new and improved Vipukirves(Leverax) uses a “unique lever action” that is “considerably stronger than a traditional axe” to separate a log into sections, allowing the user to easily create a pile of firewood in seconds. The ax is painted in traffic-light red and yellow to make it easier to spot if left on the ground.

Google wants to literally drive traffic to your business
Google was awarded a patent on a free cab service that could drive customers to advertisers.
If one of the biggest problems for Brick and Mortar advertisers is getting customers through the door, Google could at least help get them TO the door.

3D Printed Pizza
It’s not quite on par with the food replicators from Star Trek, yet. But, a Spanish startup is working to bring the 3D printing “revolution?” to the kitchen.
Natural Machines looks to bring 3D printed food to market by the middle of 2014.
The machine holds five different capsules into which the operators/cooks can manually load different food items. Natural Machines will release its own recipes, though Kuscma also hopes Foodini will attract an engaged community of users who share their own 3-D-printed creations. No culinary or special technical experience is necessary to operate the device, which is expected to retail for somewhere around $1,300—a fairly steep price for a kitchen utensil, but on the cheaper side for 3-D printers.

A really long tongue twister
Pinky and the Brain are one of the reasons I was still watching cartoons in High School. But, I’m not sure how I missed this gem.
I hope the voice actors got a little something extra for the effort.
