The Coolest Floor Plan App

MagicPlan

Point, click, shoot and ... floor plan? Yes, you heard us. Today's very cool Bungalust comes courtesy of one of our clients who was using this pretty incredible app on his iPad on Friday. Here's how it went down: It was a final walk-through at a gorgeous estate in Los Feliz and there was no legacy floor plan. While we were struggling with tape measures, notebooks, rough estimates, and plenty of guesstimating, our client ... Read More

Thermo ... Dynamic!

Dyson Hot

True Story: It was midnight, and we were playing around in the thermodynamics section of Quora when our best friend called.

You'll Never Have to Pay for It Again

Panasonic Ultra Massage Chair

Don't get defensive. We're referring to the back massage. Ah yes. The back massage. If you're anything like us, we've gone into stores and sat in those massage chairs and they never seemed to get it quite right.

As Cool as Your iPad

Grove iPad and iPhone Cases

We're going to say it because no one else will. While rubber is suitable protection for some things; trust us, your Apple products do not fall into that category. Jony Ives and his crack design team at Apple have spent a lot of time creating aesthetically-perfect devices ... and we're covering them with unsightly black rubber covers. We don't wear galoshes anymore, neither should your Apple products. And, let's be honest, how ... Read More
