    Described on starkenberger.at as the first beer swimming pool in the word, the Starkenberger BierBad in Imst just outside of Munich is our chance to finally swim in warm (weak) beer, in 7 pools filled with 12,000 liters of water and 300 liters of Biergeläger. It is supposed to be good for you, just don’t drink the pool water! Via HiConsumption

    Dave, a seasoned cameraman, has always been searching for the Holy Grail of photography—“that steady shot, that really stable picture.” When he’s not shooting, Dave is holed away in his man cave, inventing creative rigs aimed at stabilizing photographs and video footage. Dave’s football helmet DSLR clearly puts the GoPro to shame, and yet he’s never been able to attain perfect clarity in motion—until now.
