2015-09-21
greetings citizen to the Internet welcome to tomorrow daily the besties talk-show in the universe I'm Ashley ask ewa and well this is a little bit different than what you're used to right so you're used to a big set and another person and a whole bunch of other stuff this is tomorrow daily mini this is gonna be a tiny episodes for the next couple weeks while we get our brand-new studio up and running uh but you know it's gonna be a really exciting time and I have something really fun for you guys to do so our hashtag of the day all week this week is gonna be TD host and we want you to guess who our new co-host is somebody you've heard of probably uh I've heard of him I've heard of him it's it's a guy oh I get away clue uh TD host and if you guess it and you're the first person to guess it on Twitter oh no maybe I'll dig Mabel dig in a box of stuff find a prize for you so I'm saying all right guys let's hit headlines Canadian company Errol billow is celebrating right now after setting a new land speed record for human powered vehicles pretty cool stuff so this actually happened last week at the 2015 World human-powered Speed Challenge competition which I have never heard of up until this point but good for them and this bike was ridden by the company's founder he wrote in this speed bike and hit eighty six point six five miles per hour in this thing not quite 88 so it wasn't able to go back to the future but I am really impressed by this because a team of fourteen people built this bike so not a huge team of people they were able to set the new land speed record which is some pretty impressive stuff so nice work arrow bellow okay let's talk about a director who decided to take some very old technology and turn it into a new thing by sending it up into space I really like this trend this is really exciting so director Joe Connor was doing a music video for Kelvin Jones he has a song called call you home and he took two old Sony TV's retro TVs and sent them up into orbit using a weather balloon and rigged a bunch of GoPros all around them pretty awesome and did it twice so he could get the shots that he wanted out of it really impressive stuff and like I said a really good way to get some new use out of some old technology so you can check out that video if you are so inclined okay last thing on our headlines we got to talk about clothes specifically virtual clothes and a magic mirror this comes from a Korean team called my design lab the project is called Mirror Mirror it uses a sensor to scan and track your body and a projector to throw pixelated clothes on you now you can change those clothes with a wand that's infrared or you can actually draw on the clothes with that wand and get those clothes custom printed specifically for your body it's a pretty interesting way to feature customized clothing I mean we've seen customized clothing before if you've ever made a pair of custom sneakers online it's kind of like that but just taking it to a really far far step ahead of what we currently use ok so we're done with headlines let's talk about back at our hackett all you dog owners out there can finally rejoice because if you've ever been frustrated at taking a selfie with your dog and not getting your dog to look directly at the camera pooch selfie might be for you this is a 3d printed clip that lets you mount a tennis ball onto the top of your smartphone I know you're thinking this sounds like the worst idea in the universe because if your dog really likes tennis balls and you're holding up your smartphone trying to get your dog to look at the tennis ball it's gonna lunge for the tennis ball and then take your phone in the tennis ball away so I'm gonna say hack it but if you want to spend 13 bucks you want to get a good selfie of your dog and their well-behaved I say go ahead and get in on that it's on Kickstarter right now but I might trade to get my dog to take their selfies some other more traditional way like sticking peanut butter on the top of my phone I don't know I don't know let's talk about photographer of the day our phone talker for the day is Nick Nick used his iPhone 5s and he writes to us and he says Nick here I took the shot in an iPhone 5s in Scranton Pennsylvania I love that reflection was thinking of getting the 6s plus to up my photography game definitely use this
