How To: Do Karlie Kloss runway walk

Karlie Kloss is just 15 years old, but she walked 64 shows this past season. Like all those designers, we too fell in love with her signature mesmerizing death stare. Naturally, we couldn't wait to get her on video camera for a real, live runway lesson. Her trick is to keep her chin down and not crack up when the urge emerges. In our afternoon with her, we also dragged her into the dance studio to show us a few pirouettes. Also, Molly Sims stopped by to ensure Kloss makes it to a pivotal high...

How To: Upgrade your truck's exhaust system

Still got stock? Many factory installed exhaust systems not only sound anemic, they actually are because they scrub power. The designers who are given the task of producing these pipes are often handcuffed by several different requirements that add up to one big compromise.

HoloLens Dev 101: How to Use Holographic Remoting to Improve Development Productivity

Way back, life on the range was tough and unforgiving for a HoloLens developer. Air-tap training was cutting edge and actions to move holograms not called "TapToPlace" were exotic and greeted with skepticism. The year was 2016, and developers had to deploy to their devices to test things as simple as gauging a cube's size in real space. Minutes to hours a week were lost to staring at Visual Studio's blue progress bar.

I noticed the neon yellow sign at the new location of Pho Bar in Chinatown right away. The sweeping cursive yellow letters spell out "Crazy Rich Broth"; the same phrase printed on the back of servers' shirts.
