This swanky Magnavox remote is old enough to predate the use of infrared, and actually relies on ultrasound to communicate with the television. It’s a neat conversation starter, but not terribly useful today. Which is why [Chad Lawson] decided to gut the original electronics and replace it with a Adafruit Feather 32u4 Bluefruit LE that can actually talk to modern devices.

A fundraiser for Jason Becker is set to take place on July 15th with the proceeds to provide for Becker’s ongoing battle with ALS. Becker was David Lee Roth’s guitarist on the 1991 album A Little Ain’t Enough and became a close friend of Eddie Van Halen in the years following his ALS diagnoses.

The soft gleam of wooden furniture is one of the hallmarks of a well-cared-for house. In recent years, fashionable people have been rather sniffy about “brown furniture”, but what do they know? It is invariably sturdy, useful and – because of the aforementioned fashionables – often not terribly expensive in auctions, salerooms and online. It requires a little work to keep it looking at its very best, but less than you imagine. Here is what I do.

Like most good ideas, this one — to write a book about what to do with everything you own to leave the legacy you want — wasn’t mine. The idea belonged to a publisher I worked with years ago, who tracked me down to write it up. “Why me?” I...

On this week’s episode we are joined by not one guest but four! Jim Sabe is one of those guests and he is a Regional Equipment Manager and Land Auction Associate for Pifer’s. Jim Sabe will highlight spring farm equipment auctions and the strong demand in the market for good farm equipment.

If you thought that all barns in Europe have been checked by now for the presence of some valuable sports car from the 1960s, clearly a few have been overlooked. Later this month, a 1965 Porsche 356C 1600 Super will head to auction in the UK—a car that had been off the road, reportedly in dry storage since the mid-1970s—giving it some actual time-warp cachet, complete with empty packs of period-correct Gitanes cigarettes inside.

I’ve flipped a lot of pieces of furniture over the years, but that didn’t stop me from being intimidated by a large dining room hutch that had obviously been pulled out of someone’s barn. This is a great time of year to score neglected finds, as people use the warmer months to clean out cluttered spaces and unearth some hidden gems.

Dragonforce guitarist Herman Li has been spearheading a massive fundraising event for legendary guitarist Jason Becker since March featuring essentially every big name metal guitarist you could possibly think of (we’ll post the full list at the bottom of this post). The fundraiser has been remarkably successful, raising over $200,000 for Becker to date… and it’s not done!

Forget about the stimulating beverage inside! It's the cheery exteriors that make café au lait bowls a real pick-me-up. Cradle one filled with coffee and milk in the morning, and you can't help but start the day off right. The bowls and their sunny looks also appeal to collectors. Sitting jauntily on a flea market table, they seem to call: "Pick me up!" One enthusiast who has done just that is Living's former art director James Dunlinson. During the eight years he has been collecting, he has amassed dozens of café au lait bowls. Dunlinson finds the dishes' appeal easy to understand. "Lots of people are drawn to them because they're happy," he says. "And everyone needs bowls."

There’s no denying the spectacular driving experience delivered by the Ford Mustang Shelby GT350R. It’s one of the best track-focused Mustangs ever built, with impressive handling upgrades plus a flat-plane Ford 5.2L Voodoo V8 that punches well above its weight. The Blue Oval produced 37 of these specialty cars in 2015 to commemorate the original 1965 Shelby GT350R, and one of them recently hit the auction block at Barrett-Jackson Las Vegas, netting a respectable $147K at the event, likely due to its history as a car once owned by Jon Gruden, the head coach of the Las Vegas Raiders.
