This former Facebook and PayPal Art Director is Building a Tsunami-Proof Escape Pod

Chris Robinson was always very attached to Fukushima. That was where he met his wife, back when he was still living in Japan in 1991. After a tsunami struck the region, Robinson learned that most of the places he's to been to have been wiped out.




After watching the destruction on TV, Robinson didn't want to be caught unaware like many in Japan were. His answer to that dangerous situation is a 22-foot, 10-foot wide and 8.5-foot high tsunami-proof capsule.




The designer sketched the plans for the pod on his computer before spending the next two years building it. After completing the capsule, it will sit outside his house, easily accessible when the waters start rushing in. In the meantime, Robinson is thinking of renting it out via Airbnb to those who want to spend the night in it.

Calibur11 Xbox Vault

Does your new gaming console need an armor? Calibur11 Xbox Vault adds an extra layer of protection plus ventilation for your console and a nice hatch to hang your control pad, kinda like a spot for boxers to hang their gloves after a fight.


Perhaps it might seem frivolous to get a vault, but most geeks do have date nights with their Xboxes and not their exes. And for such nights who doesn’t need protection? After all your Xbox may cost you $500 and one soda spill is all it takes to end all that fun.

Dropbox Updates its iOS Apps

Dropbox has been my dumping ground for everything that matters lately. Everything from photos, office files, docs and family videos, access Dropbox using a desktop or mobile and share them easypeasy. And today the file storage behemoth announced that it made an important upgrade on its iOS application.


Glad to see these new features:
  • Ability to save uploads directly to existing or new folders.
  • You can now browse photo uploads in chronological order
  • Also a new interface redesign, now overhauled with icons Dropbox looks pretty much streamlined. 
Dropbox for iOS is free to download and pretty much compatible with every iDevice.
