A FARMER'S QUEST TO BEAT CALIFORNIA'S WAVES OF DROUGHT AND DELUGE

Don Cameron didn't come up with the idea of using floodwater to refill aquifers, but he did earn a reputation as the godfather of the practice. In a valley dotted with ponds and basins built for the sole purpose of holding extra water as it percolates down into the ground, he was the first farmer foolhardy enough to experiment on his own harvest. His work earned him state and county prizes for innovation. In 2018 he was appointed president of California's agriculture board. He thought — hoped — that on-farm recharge might become one piece of the future-proofing necessary to save the country's most productive agricultural region from near-certain death. Wired

HIGH ALTITUDE BALLOON STARTUP REVEALS DESIGN OF LUXURIOUS "SPACE LOUNGE"

Tourism startup Space Perspective just showed off the design of its "Space Lounge" cabin, which is one day meant to ascend well into the Earth's atmosphere, hanging from a massive balloon. And while it looks cozy as hell — imagine a man cave, but 20 miles up in the air, with some stunning views out of floor-to-ceiling windows — calling it a "space" anything is misleading at best.

ENROLLING IN THESE "MINDFULNESS" COURSES MAY BE THE ULTIMATE FORM OF SELF-CARE

Just like you go to the gym, take vitamins, and buy healthful food at the grocery store (well, try to anyway), your mental health is also of great importance daily. But not all of us have the tools or knowledge to understand how to keep our minds healthy, and sometimes a little expert help is all we need to be living our best lives. Boing Boing

'ONLYFRIENDS' IS A WEBSITE FOCUSED ON REAL-WORLD CONNECTION. IT LEFT ME LOOKING FOR REAL PEOPLE.

OnlyFriends is a site made purely for meeting friends locally and globally. Instead of paying for a dating app that gives you access to "entrepreneurs" embracing minimal fashion along with 30 other dudes, OnlyFriends is designed to connect you to people who might actually give a shit. While you're still essentially paying to be friend-zoned, OnlyFriends asserts "friends are better than fans." Vice

THIS FINTECH PLATFORM LETS ANYONE INVEST LIKE A VENTURE CAPITALIST

Every year venture capitalists put millions into tech startups with no track record of success. Why? Because they believe these companies have a competitive edge in the market. And because the potential reward may far outweigh the risk. Now, thanks to a new private investing platform called Linqto, you can actually invest like a venture capitalist even if you don't have tens of millions of dollars to throw around. Linqto makes it simple for accredited investors to find, evaluate, and invest as little as $10,000 in up-and-coming tech companies that have not yet gone public. And the best part is there are no fees, no hidden costs, and you don't have to wait until an IPO to cash out. Linqto

If you're an ultimate Transformers fan with deep pockets and the willingness to forgive a few big flaws, your dream toy has arrived. One year after introducing a 19-inch tall Optimus Prime robot that can transform itself, pose, and even drive thanks to 27 servo motors, its makers at Hasbro and Robosen have made their vision complete — with a brand-new trailer that can also open up, transform, and reveal its own miniature motorized vehicle that rolls right down the ramp.
