“DL Finch of Patchogue, New York, as a boat for a ride on the ice, which would climb through a small door.It was made from a part of the bearing surface of the aircraft and was a sort of sail. But this boat is not governed by turning ordinary sails, and the movement of rails on which it moved toward the most favorable place for the prevailing wind. The windows were made in front of the wing, and Finch called his invention “ice glider.”“

"Panoramic videographer and iPhone hacker Gabriel Paez is currently half-way across the country on his coast-to-coast trip from Seaside, OR to Portland, ME. As of this writing he’s in Dubuque, IA with his 2005 Vespa PX150 named Pucho. Riding atop his scooter, Paez is outfitted with a unique panoramic camera of his own design. Consisting of eight iPhones mounted to a harness and positioned directly over his helmet, the entire rig is controlled by a ninth wrist-mounted iPhone running custom software written by Paez."

"This railway line on Long Island, New York ran on two rails, just like ordinary railroads. But cars ran speeds up to (purportedly) 100 MPH on a single track below while stabilized with a track above. Its inventor Eben M. Boynton hoped to make it the center of a rapid transit network around the island. Alas, the venture failed after Boynton had laid only two miles of track."  Via:
