2016-05-03
greetings citizens of the internet welcome to tomorrow daily the best geek talk-show in the universe I'm Ashley sceva Jeff Kannada is out being super fancy actor man today on a set but for now what's at the headlines we've seen tiny houses coming into fashion lately but what about a tiny house on the open seas mini yacht company jet capsule presented a concept for what they called their UFO but it's not an unidentified flying object it's an unidentified floating object it has a slow top speed of 6.5 kilometers per hour but it's propelled by a solar-powered electric motor the shell is designed to exist completely off the grid and would have a way to convert sea and rainwater to fresh drinking water for you and a vegetable garden on board that would serve as your food the cost well jet capsule says they can make their prototype for about $800,000 which is really expensive but they assure us that homes produced after the prototype would cost about $200,000 so I guess that's cheaper all right guys if you're a fan of Lego this is a really cool idea that is helping blind kids learn inspired by the legendary toy blocks Braille uses raised dot patterns that allow blind people to read and Braille bricks takes that concept and translates them to Lego like blocks to buy three bricks have six potential bumps on them just like a Lego block would but these bricks have studs removed to represent the 26 letters of the Braille alphabet kids can then use a baseplate to spell out words in sentences correct errors easily and also use the blocks as a normal building toy the Brazilian design agency who created Braille bricks released the design to anyone who wants to create their own which is pretty cool and also helps to keep them from being sued by Lego so high five Brazilian design agency and also great great idea this is amazing stuff I really love it when people come up with ideas inspired by everyday things that we're familiar with and use it to help other people and I'm sure you do too so what story will we talk about on Thursday I feel like we have to talk about living at sea in a tiny UFO pod because this seems like Waterworld waiting to happen and I am dying to know what Jeff's opinion of it is I'm also dying to know what your opinion of it is so please feel free to use the hashtag hate TV over on twitter and tell us if you would live in a tiny UFO pod in the middle of the ocean it's a very slow-moving UFO pod by the way don't forget that uh if we like your tweets if we think they're awesome if they're clever interesting cool we will use them on Thursday show and discuss your point of view all that being said let's check out our phones Agra for the day our phone timer for the day today is basil who took this photo on his galaxy s7 edge he says hi I'm basil Aziz age 15 from Calicut Kerala India and I travel a lot like a lot one day when I was on route to a Sport Shop I saw the weirdest thing that could be installed in front of a building it was a giant badminton racket which according to them was the tallest in the world I didn't find anything to fit that description and the internet though anyway this racket is huge I watched tomorrow daily and I'm a huge fan I must say you guys are rockin in there and I wish you guys all the best especially you ash odd Geoff don't feel bad haha well he's not here so he doesn't have to hear that to part the picture attached with the email was taken on a samsung galaxy s7 edge this phone is a beast it takes awesome pictures the dual pixel technology is really making my day my name is pronounced basil Aziz and yeah of course you have my permission to use the picture I'll stay tuned ciao then basil basil this is awesome I thought this would fit into the theme of spring because you know most people want to play badminton in the springtime that's I'm just guessing that's I that feels like it could be a thing I feel like in the springtime you just want to break out your badminton racket and go crazy so if you guys have something that is themed spring I feel free to get creative with that theme you can email it to tomorrow at cnet.com and just like basil send us how to pronounce your name send us your picture tell us what device you took it on and a little story about it and also give us permission to use it on the show it's that easy you can also find us on social media if you want to hang out with us on the internet Jeff is at Jeff kanata I'm at Ashley's gather the shows at tomorrow daily and we are tomorrow daily comm if you'd like to give the gift of tomorrow daily it's free for you which means you can use your money to buy other cool stuff that is it for today's show Jeff and I will be back tomorrow with a brand new docket of science fact meeting science fiction in my favorite kind of sci-fi sandwich but until then vegan humans see you guys next time bye
