This keyboard is called The “Streamline” but it appears on Datamancer a site that uses the tagline; “Prestidigital Datamancery & Paraphrenalic Technofetishism”. I think that latter is far more evocative. Not even sure the heavily used “steampunk” is appropriate. It’s art deco, after all. This reminds me much more of styles we’ve seen in The […]
How to make your own NERF Vulcan sentry cannon
Fancy making your own version of this gun? The instructions are here. This video was introduced to me as “Look what this geek girl has built!” This person, who shall remain nameless, was partly impressed with the build and partly surprised that a woman had made it.

This is an actual video from PlayStation. It’s been seen by about 4 million people and that’s taken just one day to happen. The video demonstrates how you can share games with the PS4. Let’s me clear about this; Sony is pitching this straight at gamers and poking Microsoft in the eye at the same […]
The best homemade lightsaber yet
When the laser expert and the guy who built this homemade lightsaber notes he’s not comfortable holding the device then you should pay attention. It’s also worth pointing out that 3W lasers are legal for home use in the States. What do you think? You’ve seen the power of this device and what it’s capable […]
A hands on review of the Acer Iconia A1
The first way the Iconia A1 impressed me was with the battery life. The Android tablet had a sliver of power in it when I wrestled it out of its wrapper and out of its box. I was in a busy hotel bar, totally unable to get near a power point, but that sliver of […]
