This past weekend saw the kickoff of one of the year's biggest sporting events. No, not the Super Bowl. The <a href="http://yukonquest.com/" target="_blank">2012 Yukon Quest</a> began. What is Yukon Quest? It's just your run-of-the-mill 1,000 mile dog sled race from Fairbanks, Alaska to Whitehorse, Yukon Territory, Canada. It follows the trail that prospectors took during the gold rush of the 1890s and celebrate the Yukon River, the "highway of the North." And while the Iditarod may be more well-known, Yukon Quest is considered by many to be the most difficult race in the world. Mushers and their dogs will navigate the frozen wilderness for two weeks and friend-of-Gadling <a href="http://evaholland.com/" target="_blank">Eva Holland</a> is along for the ride and posting dispatches on <a href="https://twitter.com/#!/evaholland" target="_blank">her Twitter feed</a>. She passed along this video of the start of the race and we thought we'd share it with you because, well, it's just plain awesome.<p style="padding:5px;background:#ddd;border:1px solid #ccc;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.gadling.com/2012/02/07/video-yukon-quest-2012-gets-started/">Video: Yukon Quest 2012 gets started</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.gadling.com">Gadling</a> on Tue, 07 Feb 2012 14:30:00 EST.

That technology needs to be protected, and, with the <a href="http://www.dodocase.com/products/dodocase-for-ipad2" target="_blank">DODOcase</a>, you can do it while nostalgically remembering what it was like to carry around an actual notebook. Remember those halcyon days? But a good iPad case is defined by more than its aesthetics. It needs to be durable, useful for all types of everyday use and slim. I've had both generations of the iPad and tried out several cases. Is the DODOcase a winner or just a pretty face? I put it to the test.<p><a href="http://www.gadling.com/2012/02/07/gadling-gear-review-dodocase-for-ipad-2/" rel="bookmark">Continue reading <em>Gadling gear review: DODOcase for iPad 2</em></a></p><p style="padding:5px;background:#ddd;border:1px solid #ccc;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.gadling.com/2012/02/07/gadling-gear-review-dodocase-for-ipad-2/">Gadling gear review: DODOcase for iPad 2</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.gadling.com">Gadling</a> on Tue, 07 Feb 2012 09:00:00 EST.

Extreme cold and snow have <a href="http://www.nytimes.com/2012/02/06/world/europe/europe-struggles-to-deal-with-cold-and-snow.html" target="_blank">gripped parts of Europe</a> in ways that the continent has not experienced in years. <a href="http://www.nytimes.com/slideshow/2012/02/05/world/europe/02062012weather.html" target="_blank">The images of people struggling</a> to cope with the elements are chilling (no pun intended). Even in <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Split,_Croatia" target="_blank">Split, Croatia</a>, a coastal town on the Adriatic Sea, snow has blanketed the beaches as temperatures have plunged nearly 30 degrees below average for this time of year. Seeing people walk along the palm tree-lined shore as snow falls unrelentingly is almost too incongruous to process.<p style="padding:5px;background:#ddd;border:1px solid #ccc;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.gadling.com/2012/02/06/video-of-the-day-snow-on-the-beach-in-split-croatia/">Video of the Day: Snow on the beach in Split, Croatia</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.gadling.com">Gadling</a> on Mon, 06 Feb 2012 18:00:00 EST.

The images that move us the most get etched into our brains. As a kid, I wanted to be Indiana Jones. In my mind, Harrison Ford will always been that whip-toting adventurer (though not the one with the sagging man-boobs in the most recent Indy film that I refuse to acknowledge). He'll always have a place on the Wall of Honor in the <a href="http://www.gadling.com/tag/skymall-monday" target="_blank">SkyMall Monday</a> headquarters (next to <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=--ncJbroRgA&amp;feature=player_embedded#!" target="_blank">a jar of Nutella</a>). But what really becomes of our icons? Well, they die. They all die. That's the circle of life (it's a tad darker than <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ejEVczA8PLU" target="_blank">hakuna matata</a>). And, while we remember our heroes deaths, we never commemorate how they would look if they continued to entertain us after their demise...until now, thanks to <a href="http://skymall.com" target="_blank">SkyMall</a> and the <a href="http://www.skymall.com/shopping/detail.htm?pid=204148784&amp;c=10400&amp;v=982&amp;vendorDirect=true" target="_blank">Undead Icons Statues</a>.<p><a href="http://www.gadling.com/2012/02/06/skymall-monday-undead-elvis-and-marilyn/" rel="bookmark">Continue reading <em>SkyMall Monday: Undead Elvis &amp; Marilyn</em></a></p><p style="padding:5px;background:#ddd;border:1px solid #ccc;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.gadling.com/2012/02/06/skymall-monday-undead-elvis-and-marilyn/">SkyMall Monday: Undead Elvis &amp; Marilyn</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.gadling.com">Gadling</a> on Mon, 06 Feb 2012 13:00:00 EST.

Imagine if you could fly. Not in an airplane or a helicopter. I mean, you could fly like Superman. How amazing would it be to soar through cities and observe everyone from above. Well, imagine looking up and seeing three people flying around New York City. That's what must have happened when people saw these <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&amp;v=dcDN409ZBv4" target="_blank">human-shaped remote control airplanes</a> circling around New York. It looks like it might just be a promotional video for the new film <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chronicle_%28film%29" target="_blank"><em>Chronicle</em></a>, but that doesn't make it any less awesome. Time to stare out there window and wish for some superpowers.<p style="padding:5px;background:#ddd;border:1px solid #ccc;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.gadling.com/2012/01/30/video-of-the-day-flying-people-in-new-york-city/">Video of the Day: Flying People in New York City</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.gadling.com">Gadling</a> on Mon, 30 Jan 2012 18:30:00 EST.

You live with fur everywhere. Water and food bowls take up part of the kitchen floor. Toys are scattered everywhere. It's difficult to create a sophisticated living space when there are drool stains on most of the furniture. We run into these problems at <a href="http://www.gadling.com/tag/skymall-monday" target="_blank">SkyMall Monday</a> headquarters thanks to our <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/mikebarish/5473222507/in/set-72157623383881291" target="_blank">freeloading</a> <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/mikebarish/5141304307/in/set-72157623513020726" target="_blank">tenants</a>. This doesn't even take into account the space issues. Once you set out some dog beds and set up their crates, you're dedicating a tremendous amount of real estate to animals that lick their own penises. So how do you maximize space, live in style and also make your home comfortable for your dogs?

I hate scary amusement park rides. I understand that some people love roller coasters and loops and sudden plunges into dark caverns, but it's just not for me. You can save your trips to <a href="http://www.gadling.com/2011/06/19/cedar-point-opens-windseeker-year-tower-rides/" target="_blank">Cedar Point</a> and roller coaster road trips for someone else. Because, quite frankly, the looks on the faces of the two men <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&amp;v=buj3d3D-meY#!" target="_blank">in this video</a>, combined with their deafening screams, basically sum up how I react to amusement park rides. <a href="http://www.gadling.com/category/theme-parks/" target="_blank">Theme parks</a> can be fun but mostly because so many of them serve turkey legs.<br />

The decision is made for you when there's only one option. Others force you to pick between two worthy candidates (think ice cream or cookies for dessert). Things get tricky when you encounter more than two viable options. How do you choose from a cornucopia of wonder? Here at <a href="http://www.gadling.com/tag/skymall-monday" target="_blank">SkyMall Monday</a>, we typically engage in heated battles of <a href="http://pbfcomics.com/113/" target="_blank">Rock, Paper, Scissors</a> to make these critical decisions. However, sometimes we become so paralyzed by the options that we can't make up our minds. What do you do when presented with so many outstanding products? That's the dilemma we're facing this week thanks to <a href="http://skymall.com" target="_blank">SkyMall</a>. To solve the problem, we're turning to you, dear readers.

Sure, they keep the rain, snow and ice out, but they often end up leaving you drenched in your own sweat. The breathability of a jacket is almost as important as how impenetrable it is to the elements. Sadly, most coats that try to combine warmth and waterproofing end up sacrificing personal climate control. If you're going to be active throughout the winter, finding a jacket that's comfortable, allows for a full range of motion and keeps you dry and warm is a necessity.

If you've traveled to any of the Commonwealth nations, you've likely encountered cricket on television or in the newspapers. You may have even gotten stuck in a conversation about it while having no clue what anyone is saying. Heck, you might have even <a href="http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=/c/a/2010/03/19/TR791CAT0V.DTL" target="_blank">played it...poorly</a>. Americans don't understand cricket. Is it like baseball? What's a wicket? Why does a match take so many days? Thankfully, one America has taken it upon himself to help us all <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=83oa1S0x9zI&amp;feature=related" target="_blank">learn about the game</a>. Sit back, relax and let comedian <a href="https://twitter.com/#!/reginalddhunter" target="_blank">Reginald D. Hunter</a> explain the ins and outs of cricket. I think you'll see that it's a lot simpler than you feared.<p style="padding:5px;background:#ddd;border:1px solid #ccc;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.gadling.com/2012/01/16/video-of-the-day-an-american-explains-cricket/">Video of the Day: An American explains cricket</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.gadling.com">Gadling</a> on Mon, 16 Jan 2012 20:00:00 EST.

What do you wear to stay warm? A hat? Some mittens? Perhaps a pair of boots? You're a fool. When temperatures plunge below freezing, you can't rely on down and wool to keep you from dying of hypothermia. And body heat alone won't suffice when you're lost in the wilderness. If you're going to keep frostbite at bay you need to bring your own heat to the party.

Road trips seem to be a very American activity. Driving cross-country, family vacations to national parks and the like. However, road trips are popular around the world. Caravanning (what we would call RVing) is quite popular in the UK. Also, because European countries are so much smaller than the United States, driving within a country or to neighboring nations is pretty simple. <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2zpg21UIPjs" target="_blank">This video</a> shows off the 96km drive from Brussels to Bruges. It's oddly comforting to know that highway driving in Belgium is pretty similar to interstate driving in the United States.<p style="padding:5px;background:#ddd;border:1px solid #ccc;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.gadling.com/2012/01/09/video-of-the-day-brussels-to-bruges-in-two-minutes/">Video of the Day: Brussels to Bruges in two minutes</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.gadling.com">Gadling</a> on Mon, 09 Jan 2012 18:30:00 EST.

Many of you, I'm sure, have begun to worry that I've lost my zest for <a href="http://skymall.com" target="_blank">SkyMall</a>. Rest assured that I remain optimistic about our favorite in-flight catalog and that there are still countless products that leave me engorged with excitement. In fact, <a href="http://www.gadling.com/tag/skymall-monday" target="_blank">SkyMall Monday</a> headquarters is abuzz over this week's featured invention. As you might know, I typically <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/mikebarish/4574547227/in/set-72157623858864741/" target="_blank">sport a beard</a>. I'm a bit of a follicle aficionado and, as such, appreciate all things whisker-related. I understand, however, that not everyone can grow out their facial hair. Women, pre-pubescent boys and many Asians lack the ability to cultivate a thick, luxurious face garden. Thankfully, there is now an alternative.

Preparing your own meals while on the road can be tough. You don't always have a proper kitchen stocked with all of the tools and appliances that you need. Ingredients can be difficult to find. Still, at least we always have gravity to help us out. Not so for astronauts. When it's dinner time, they have to assemble their tacos in zero gravity. The last thing that anybody wants is refried beans in the ventilation system. Think of this guy and his space taco the next time you want to complain that the kitchen in your RV is too cramped.<p style="padding:5px;background:#ddd;border:1px solid #ccc;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.gadling.com/2012/01/02/video-of-the-day-making-tacos-in-space/">Video of the Day: Making tacos in space</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.gadling.com">Gadling</a> on Mon, 02 Jan 2012 18:30:00 EST.

Many travelers enjoy pushing their limits while abroad. They'll try bungy jumping, skydiving or hangliding for the first time because the thrill of traveling helps them escape their comfort zone. In Russia, however, those extreme sports are not enough of a thrill. How else can you explain <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kFGxdd3jLOg&amp;feature=related" target="_blank">these teenagers climbing a tower</a> (or perhaps it's an uncompleted building?), walking to the edge of a beam and staring down at a fall that surely must be several hundred feet? It's most certainly not safe and they won't even get a cool t-shirt when they're done. Not much of a tourist attraction if you asked us.<p style="padding:5px;background:#ddd;border:1px solid #ccc;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.gadling.com/2011/12/26/video-of-the-day-russian-heights/">Video of the Day: Russian heights</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.gadling.com">Gadling</a> on Mon, 26 Dec 2011 18:30:00 EST.

Elegant food, good company and, of course, delicious wine make for a wonderful night out. However, some people take their wine very seriously and anything that takes away from their vino experience can ruin the evening. The last thing anyone wants is for one of  their friends to storm out of the restaurant because the glassware is substandard. Here at <a href="http://www.gadling.com/tag/skymall-monday" target="_blank">SkyMall Monday</a>, we know <a href="http://www.gadling.com/2011/03/21/skymall-monday-packable-wine-glasses/" target="_blank">a thing or two about wine glasses</a>. That's why we appreciate that <a href="http://skymall.com" target="_blank">SkyMall</a> is tackling the problem of wine glass disappointment. Never again will you have to worry about a lackluster wine glass destroying any chance enjoying a night out. The next time you're painting the town red, don't trust restaurants and bars to know what you require. Take care of yourself - and your wine - with the <a href="http://www.skymall.com/shopping/detail.htm?pid=203466947&amp;c=&amp;v=157&amp;vendorDirect=true" target="_blank">O to Go portable wine glass</a>.<p><a href="http://www.gadling.com/2011/12/26/skymall-monday-o-to-go-portable-wine-glasses/" rel="bookmark">Continue reading <em>SkyMall Monday: O to Go Portable Wine Glasses</em></a></p><p style="padding:5px;background:#ddd;border:1px solid #ccc;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.gadling.com/2011/12/26/skymall-monday-o-to-go-portable-wine-glasses/">SkyMall Monday: O to Go Portable Wine Glasses</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.gadling.com">Gadling</a> on Mon, 26 Dec 2011 13:00:00 EST.

One of the best aspects of hiking is the escape that it provides from your everyday life. Getting lost - even briefly - in nature allows you to forget that the rest of the world exists. But what happens when you leave the trail and return home? Someone up in Maine decided to <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NagOf19ToBk&amp;feature=related" target="_blank">plant a remote camera along a trail</a> that cuts through his property. Along with hikers, he recorded footage of moose, deer and even a bear traversing the exact same trail. It's an eery reminder that while you're hiking, you're in animals' homes.<p style="padding:5px;background:#ddd;border:1px solid #ccc;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.gadling.com/2011/12/19/video-of-the-day-remote-camera-captures-action-on-maine-hiking/">Video of the Day: Remote camera captures action on Maine hiking trail</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.gadling.com">Gadling</a> on Mon, 19 Dec 2011 18:30:00 EST.

	If you've used an iPhone, you know that holding it up to your ear for a long period of time can be uncomfortable. If you need to be on a lengthy call, cradling the iPhone in your hand can get tiresome. Speakerphone is not always a viable option and headphones can be unsafe for your ears. Thankfully, <a href="http://skymall.com" target="_blank">SkyMall</a> offers two options for adding a handset to your iPhone. This week, <a href="http://www.gadling.com/tag/skymall-monday" target="_blank">SkyMall Monday</a> pits the <a href="http://www.skymall.com/shopping/detail.htm?pid=204075119&amp;c=&amp;cm_sp=Search-_-Suggested-_-204075119" target="_blank">iPhone Desktop Handset</a> against the <a href="http://www.skymall.com/shopping/detail.htm?c=102195453&amp;v=&amp;tab=pd&amp;vendorDirect=false&amp;pid=204135198" target="_blank">Retro Cell Phone Handset</a>.

If you have dogs, you know that car rides can be an adventure. Whether you're on a road trip, running errands or just taking your pups to the vet, time in the car with dogs is always interesting. I have two dogs and they couldn't be more different in the car. We take our dogs camping, on hikes and to family gatherings. Our little guy curls up in a ball and sleeps. Our black lab mix, however, barks, spins in circle and, if we let him, sticks his nose out of the car. He then makes strange horse noises. I remember, as a kid, seeing dogs heads sticking out of cars and thinking that they looked so happy. <a href="http://vimeo.com/33219961" target="_blank">It's a dogs life out there</a>.<p style="padding:5px;background:#ddd;border:1px solid #ccc;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.gadling.com/2011/12/12/video-of-the-day-dog-in-cars/">Video of the Day: Dog in Cars</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.gadling.com">Gadling</a> on Mon, 12 Dec 2011 18:30:00 EST.
