I’m still a fan of my Spider-man pen from Cross. They’ve a new Marvel collection in stock. The Cross X Marvel Collection features Hulk, Spider-man and Thor. They’re rolling ball pens with chrome. The price tag of £50 makes them gift-worthy, I think. They might be more than you’d spend on yourself but just the […]
Superhero Week: Mechanical moving Spider-man mask
When Spider-man or Venom’s mask eyes narrow is that a trick only comic book illustrators and special effects wizards can make? No, small UK company No Limit Designs have a cosplay set up that creates the same effect. No Limits want to produce the highest quality specialist costumes and are looking to extend their relationship […]
The new way to get Audible onto the Amazon Fire TV
I’ve an Amazon Fire TV. I don’t mean one of the popular Amazon Fire TV Sticks that compete with Google’s Chromecast; I mean the full-fledged Amazon Fire TV. I’m not sure why but they’re far less popular than the cutdown version and still safely well under a hundred bucks. I use my Amazon Fire TV […]
Turn your dull teapot into a steampunk R2-D2
This video is from the AWE Artist Series and has Marissa Deal put together a steampunk R2-D2. This particular steampunk droid is also a fully functional kettle. AWE call it a teapot, but it’s the device that makes the water boil, not the pot that brews the tea. Steampunkers pick up on that sort of […]
Christmas decorations supported by Sugru
Sugru is mouldable glue. It comes in small packets and feels like blutac. Once open you’ve about half an hour to play with it, roll it into shape with your hands and stick it where it needs to go. Then it takes about 24 hours to cure when it becomes a rubber-like substance. I’ve used Sugru […]

This mask is a little different. Pick it up from Morph Suits ad bring it to life with a speial app and your smartphone. That’s right. The smartphone is used for the scanning cyborg’s eye. It adds the special effects and will give you a mask that stands out, for all the right reasons, next […]
Are you excited by the Nintendo Switch?
I remember hoping that Nintendo’s Wii U would have a controller that let you go mobile, play outside and join in epic games like Monster Hunter. I didn’t get my wish but that seems to be exactly what the nextgen console from Nintendo offers. This first look at the Nintendo Switch (no Wii branding) shows […]
Tough: A review of Tech21’s Evo tactical case
I want to begin this review with something usual – and talk about the ordering and fulfilment. I’m guilty of going with Amazon too often just because I’ve a Prime account and it’s easy. Ordering with Tech21.com was a delight. It was easy to do, I knew exactly where my case was, it arrived in […]
Cozmo is a cheeky little robot
Okay, I’ll put my hands up and admit it. I don’t need a Cozmo. I’m pretty tempted by one, though. Here’s a company that’s worked to put a basic AI into a tiny machine and built an ‘emotion engine’. Know what they did with that? They made Cozmo a smart-ass. The little fellow will cost […]
