claim that we are outdoor made. What we mean by this statement is that we are the type of people who can survive living in the outdoors. Some of claim this because we are trying to be manly and think we are tough enough to handle any type of condition. Others make the above statement because they feel that they have enough equipment and technology to help them survive outside for long periods of time. The fact is, trying to be an outdoors man is one of the hardest things that any of us could every try to accomplish. However, if you are worried that you could end up in that situation someday and just want to be prepared, Timberland has created the HT2 watch to help you out. The Timberland HT2 watch is one nice looking piece of watch. Listening to the company describe it as an outdoor performance watch sometimes means nothing. This is because we are used to companies misleading us in order to get our business. We are lucky to find out that Timberland is not wrong about the statement. The Timberland HT2 comes with dials upon dials that may be a little too much for the stylish eye. For those who could care less, you receive a watch that has ties together both analog and digital form for helping you keep track of four different time zones. Believe it or not, there is much, much more to the Timberland HT2 outdoor performance watch. One thing that this watch is instantly good at is making you ten times more prepared for the outdoors. You will quickly notice an old style magnetic compass located in the four dial collection to help you find your away around. There is even a tachymeter that gives you information about your time and even the distance that you have traveled. Timberland decided to take the watch up another step by including a barometer and thermometer to help explain to you when it might be time to turn around. You can tell that the Timberland HT2 outdoor performance watch includes a little bit of everything and is a nice piece of watch that incorporates many different things. It seems that the only thing that the watch may be lacking may be a GPS system. That is why you have the magnetic compass to help you out. It may not be the fancy GPS, but at least you have something to guide you. The watch is not that expensive either. You can purchase one of these fancy watch for two different prices. The usual watch that comes with a leather band can be purchased for 295. Another option to choose from is the same watch that is silicone-banded. That version of the watch will cost you a bit more at 345. To learn more about the Timberland HT2 outdoor performance watch, follow my source link and be just as amazed as I was.

Watch How an iPad Was Used to Paint This Stunning Hologram This video shows, without a doubt, the most magical thing I e seen the iPad do yet: creating a series of gorgeous, twinkling holograms, captured with long exposure photography as the iPad was moved through the air. Confused? Just watch. The video is a collaboration between Dentsu London and BERG, the latter of which is responsible for awesome projects such as BBC Dimensions and the Mag tablet concept. Of this latest feat, they explain: First we create software models of three-dimensional typography, objects and animations. We render cross sections of these models, like a virtual CAT scan, making a series of outlines of slices of each form. We play these back on the surface of the iPad as movies, and drag the iPad through the air to extrude shapes captured in long exposure photographs. Each 3D form is itself a single frame of a 3D animation, so each long exposure still is only a single image in a composite stop frame animation. When the individual words are writhing across the screen there barely a trace of the iPad that made them. But my favorites are the final shots, where all three words appear together and you can see the ghostly forms of the people that are moving around the space to create them. Kinda spooky, very beautiful. [BERG and Dentsu London] Send an email to Kyle VanHemert, the author of this post, at kvanhemert@gizmodo.com.
