This is the kind of item that gets a professional surveyor excited.
The DNR's Matt Dontz found this original cedar survey post in a stream near Atlanta, in Montmorency County recently. The General Land Office of the U.S. government did the survey of Michigan's townships in 1850. The post was set to mark a section, or quarter corner and were driven into the ground each half-mile. It was preserved by the water, Forestry and Surveying experts agree the find is extremely rare, even with today's GPS technology.
For something we use so often, the light bulb hasn't changed much over the years. And the guys at Uncrate tell us that the LIFX bulb is out to change all that. By packing Wi-Fi into a standard-sized bulb, LIFX lets you control your lights using nothing but your phone. It's also based on LED technology, which allows you to change the color of the light on a whim, and even better, gives the bulb a lifespan of up to 25 years. Clap on clap off is so yesterday. Now app on is today, with LIFX.
