RELATED: Follow TheCoolist Through Washington, D.C.’s Hidden Hoods The Sawmill House stands on the brim of an old gold quarry in the rural town of Yackandandah. The area now hosts a sawmill, but much of the quarry’s rocky refuse remains. The architect and client would use the available rock to craft the structure of this home — which comprises 270 one-ton concrete blocks. Over time, these blocks will take on a patina that echoes the sedimentary storyline of the quarry walls below....

When you’re ready to move up to the major leagues, here’s the strongest beers around that are also drinkably delicious. Samuel Adams Utopias ABV: 29% Coming out strong with a vanilla scent and flavor, the Utopias brings the complexity that Sam Adams is known for into a heady mixture that has a warm feel in the mouth. The whole experience is pleasant, though the scent runs a little boozy, which can cause a moment of recoil before the flavor and brandy finish makes you a believer....

We’ll not deny the fact that some of them have actually worked hard and made real lifetime achievements, but the most annoying ones are that of the borrow-posers.

The Google Self-Driving Car and Purpose-Built Automated Vehicles For the past several years, Google X – the top secret research division of the search engine conglomerate – has been hard at work on a self-driving car. To much fanfare, the official proof of concept (above) was revealed this summer. Designed with public transit in mind, these vehicles would effectively make driving for anything but pleasure obsolete. No more drunk or distracted driving, no more having to spend a lifetime looking for parking, and no more stressing about not having a license to drive – simply hail down a robotic cab, key in where you want to go, and kick back as it drives you there....

The MB&F HMX Watch takes inspiration from some of the high points of MB&F’s history. The general form and display of the HMX recalls the layout of the MB&F HM5, a timepiece inspired by the sports cars of the late 1970s. The conceptual relationship with automotive design is common for Maximilian Busser, who dreamed of becoming an automotive designer when he was a child. That dream has clearly held strong, as it is reflected in watches like the HM5 and this new HMX....

What Makes A Good Low-Cost Watch The low demand for watches has rapidly driven prices up. There’s loads of functional options that are inexpensive, and they’ll work fine, but they look downright humiliating. Since there’s rarely a need to wear a watch unless you’re planning to be far from civilization without a car, phone, tablet, laptop, mp3 player, GPS, or really good stick, those who choose one are doing it as a statement....

Some would even argue that living a lie-free life is impossible. We lie to spare feelings and avoid conflict, and sometimes, in complex situations, fibbing is the lesser of two evils. But being lied to by someone you love about something important often crosses the ethical Rubicon. When a friend lies to you, it hurts. When a lover lies to you, it can downright burn. So today, we’re looking at what to do when someone in your life lies right to your face....

The mean-spirited voice in your head can make you feel like your own worst enemy. I wrote last time about how I lived with a toxic family member who frequently criticized, rejected, and called me names while I was growing up. I learned the language of the critical voice early and often. Due in part to these experiences, I have struggled greatly with my own negative self-talk. However, individuals who have had loving, supportive upbringings will find that they too still have a critical voice of varying degrees living inside of them....
