####Make Your Own Google Glass####
Don't want to spend $1,500 on a pair of Google Glasses? If youve got a 3D printer, and a Rasperry Pi, you can make your OWN computer to mount on your face. Hey, at this point if youre gonna wear a computer on your face who caresif you look a bit weird! This way is far cheaper.

####Little 3D Glasses For Little Mantises####
Now this seems freaky, and so so strange...but this is real. A new research project at the Newcastle University Institute of Neuroscience is exploring how praying mantises, process 3D vision in hopes of opening up the possibility of creating simpler algorithms for programming 3D vision into robots and computers. 

####BOOMER####
I mainly wanted to talk about Boomer because he is so cute, and possibly a good gift idea! He can react to humans, obey simple commands, and show some general emotions! 

####LIX 3D Pen####
The newest 3D pen is in town, and it's the smallest 3D printing pen in the world! Remember the 3Doodler? The LIX pen is a lot like that. It works just like a hot glue gun, and as you draw, the filament dries instantly. You don't even need special paper to draw on. The Kickstarter campaign is doing great. Here is a link if you want to back the project:https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/lix3d/lix-the-smallest-3d-printing-pen-in-the-world
