…It’s Tuner Tuesday: Rinspeed sQuba?
When I first saw pictures of the Rinspeed sQuba car, I thought it was a clever Photoshop or some sort of concept car art piece.
However, the sQuba is real, and can both drive on land and “fly” underwater.
Dubbed “the world’s first real submersible car”, it features three electric motors, two Seabob jet drives, zero exhaust emissions, LED lighting technology, VDO controls that work underwater, and a fully salt-water resistant interior/exterior.
Drive it into the water and it floats along the surface like a buoy. Then, just crack the door and it sinks into the depths. Hop out though, and the driverless (diverless?) car floats to the surface automatically.
James Bond, eat your heart out.

…Nike helps you run?
When I go for a run, I like to take along the Nike+ iPod Sport Kit to keep me entertained, so anything that makes running even a little bit easier is fine by me.
To add to their Nike+ line, Nike has created the Nike Amp+ Sport Remote Control, a combination watch and remote from the Nike+ kit.
Featuring a stainless steel buckle, an LED display for time and remote icons, and 50m of water resistance, it’s a great way to look good and keep control over what you listen to while you’re running around.

…It’s Things Thursday: Magnetic Battery Eater?
This Battery Eater might not do much, but it sure does look good while getting every last drop of juice out of your AAs. Just put your battery in the magnetic mouth, and the LED eyes blink away the remaining power.

…The SureFire Titan light is bright?
With the release of SureFire’s limited edition Titan, a titanium LED flashlight that is the world’s first continuous variable-output LED flashlight, they needed to find a way to market this mini sun beam. What better way, it seems, than to show it off between a set of headlights?
Promotion methods aside, this $500 beauty is quite the light, with military grade build quality, the ability to select from over 1,000 possible light settings from zero to 30 lumens, and a titanium finish that makes this both strong and light. Need I say more?
(You can stop staring at the picture now)
