I think I’ve got a product that might catch your interest. It’s called Soundsight. This magnificent set of bluetooth-enabled headphones is equipped with an ultra-high quality microphone and camera. Retailing at $349 (they aren’t exactly cheap), the headphones allow for hands-free recording, mixing, and editing of whatever video you might have a desire to record (they use Bluetooth to connect to your Smartphone). I’d imagine this product will be particularly useful to Deejays and musicians, as it’ll help them to capture their work from a point of view that few are privileged enough to see....

The Ribbon Chapel is defined by its spiraling staircases in both design and engineering. These twin staircases are also the support structure for the building, they form the walls and the ceiling over the interior chapel. The symbolism of the Ribbon Chapel continues here, as a marriage is strengthened by the support of each spouse. Take one away, and such a remarkable building could not exist as it does. The layout of the chapel’s interior is designed to host a formal, familiar wedding....

Most portable units come with a spacer that fits into a window and provides a mounting space for the hose to go, allowing the hot air to go out without allowing more warm air to come in. Like window units, these are good at keeping a single room cool, but falter when it comes to air conditioning an entire house. They can be used to spot cool, or keep a basic bedroom or office cool, but might be overworked with a larger space, even if you seek out larger units....

For many men, the apex of manhood is a healthy beard. And although there’s nothing wrong with a clean shaven face, growing a beard is a right of passage for many. Sure, your girlfriend might complain about them, they tend to itch, and good luck eating anything without getting it in your facial hair is an impossible task. However, beards are still popular, and they can really bring out a man’s confidence....
