This blogger is based in Edinburgh and is very busy with his day job. As a result, I never get to go to blogger events hosted in London – but I do sometimes get sent photos of what I missed. Microsoft’s “roleplaying event” to highlight the latest upgrade to Hotmail is one such example. Mind […]

Toy retailer associations get busy at this time of the year to predict what will be the most popular Christmas gifts. It’s a big money bet. If you remember trying to track down a Wii or fighting your way through crowds in shops then its easy to imagine why shops need to know what to […]
LEGO digital clock
This is a digital clock. You’ll recognise the display style straight away and then that the clock has been built from LEGO. No surprise to know it’s a Mindstorms line.

Science geeks behold: Quantum Levitation
The takeaway for me is that it’s not correct to use the term “floating”. In the video we clearly hear that quantum superconductor is “locked” in position.
