Digital Butler 🦾
Imagine a world where your robot buddy NEO doesn’t just vacuum — it’s your personal chore ninja, watering plants, tidying up, and maybe even cracking a joke or two. Dream big: why slave over chores when a sleek, smart machine can handle the boring bits? This future sidekick promises more time for Netflix binges and spontaneous dance parties. Because honestly, who wants to clean when you can chill? The future is now: welcome to robot-powered freedom!
Danny DeVito Planter 🪴
This 3D-printed planter captures Danny DeVito’s iconic portrayal of Frank Reynolds from sitcom ‘It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia’. It offers a subtle yet distinctive way to bring a bit of pop culture into your home, perfect for small plants. As Frank himself might say, “Well, I don’t know how many years on this earth I got left. I’m gonna get real weird with it.” This planter is a fun reminder to embrace a little unpredictability in everyday life.
TomBot 🐶🤖
TomBot is very cute, AI-driven robotic puppy which single mission in life is to improve the quality of life of people with mental or loneliness issues.
God of Ramen 🍜
Katzua Yamagishi was the God of Ramen. People lined up for hours or drove even longer to get a taste of divinity at his tiny Taishoken restaurant. Yamagishi san passed away in 2015, but his legend stays alive thanks to this slow moving, zen like and free to watch documentary that was made over the course of 13 years.
Coachella 2025 🎸
Coachella, one of the world’s largest music and arts festivals, is famous for surprise collaborations and genre-spanning acts. This year, Zedd brought out acclaimed singer-songwriter and guitarist John Mayer, known for his Grammy-winning blend of pop, rock, and blues. Their performance of ‘Automatic Yes’ and Mayer’s soulful guitar solo created a unique fusion, capturing Coachella’s spirit of innovation and star power.
Zen Cams 📺
This live stream of a watering hole in Namibia is among countless live webcams you can choose from on explore.org. Checking in on how the wildlife is doing in the Namibian desert is truly zen. A bit more interactive is the Dutch site visdeurbel which we featured many Fritzes ago and was recently in the crosshairs of the popular HBO Max-Last Week Tonight with John Oliver show:
BigXthaPlug 🎵
Back to Coachella, where the Gobi tent was transformed into a Dallas nightclub by the one and only BigXthaPlug. To get a taste of what this plus sized hip hop OG sounds like, listen to his short song Back on my BS:
Thanks for reading. Thanks for sharing. Thanks for listening to our fresh music playlist and WtFritzcast.
