Star Trek tech getting closer with Sony Ericsson LiveView

October 1, 2010 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

I’m quite taken by the Sony Ericsson LiveView. It’s a little device that you can wear like a watch (in fact; I’m sure it can tell the time and be a watch) as a clip. LiveView works with Android phones to intergrate and get internet access. This means you can use it keep up with […]

Look what happens when a red gummy bear encounters Potassium Chlorate

September 23, 2010 by Andrew Girdwood 1 Comment

Chemistry can be fun. Gummy bears can be fun. To be honest, I’ve no idea whether potassium chlorate is usually fun. I suspect most things with “chlorate” in their name tend to be more serious than fun. However, that should stop us – or some brave soul at the St. Albans Science Department – mixing […]

LEGO Tardis is awesome (via @JustJon)

September 21, 2010 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

I left a comment on Jon’s blog to say that not only was the LEGO Tardis awesome but he had earned his place in geek mythos. I think a follow up post here on Geek Native is only necessary. The Tardis is based on the David Tennant Doctor and uses the SNOT technique. By the […]

Halo Jetpack in Trafalgar Square

September 19, 2010 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

Just as we were talking about Halo cosplay here in Geek Native towers this rather nice video of some Halo jetpack action presented itself to us. What it certainly shows is how far jetpack technology has progressed. It also shows us that some PR stunts are cool. What do you think? Would you charge or […]

The Xbox’s revolutionary new D-Pad

September 1, 2010 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

Which is better? The PS3 controller or the Xbox 360’s? Microsoft say they’ve had some feedback from their community which suggests that the D-pad on their controller could be better. They think they’ve made some significant improvements. In this video fan facing spokesman, Major Nelson, shows off the new controller. Check it out. Looks pretty […]

Stunning 3D light show

August 31, 2010 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

This use of a 3d projector in Kharkov in the Ukraine is simply stunning. Watch the volume as you play this as the impressive light effects are accompanied by some awfully loud – but appropriate – music. For another example of awesome 3D lightwork check out these giant ants in Amsterdamn Cool, huh? What did […]

Alien Pez dispenses alien pez

August 28, 2010 by Andrew Girdwood 1 Comment

We don’t have Pez over here in the United Kingdom. At least; I’ve never seen them. However we certainly know what Pez dispenser is. Check out this Alien Pez dispsenser. I do wonder whether squirting alien tabs into your mouth would appeal to everyone though.

Rock Band of the Future

August 27, 2010 by Andrew Girdwood 1 Comment

Holla. Been a crazy busy few days here in Geek Native towers (a pokey 4th floor flat in Edinburgh, Scotland) and as a result posts have flat lined. Sorry! This is an attempt to pick up the frequency again. Not only is this the first post in a few days it’s done on my band […]

Twitter friendly bike is @yesiamprecious

August 11, 2010 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

“Yes my precious…” belongs in Lord of the Rings, right? There’s no chance “Precious” might not related to the One Ring but to a bike? Certainly no chance that it could related to a bike with a brain that tweets its feelings to you. You sure about that? How could you not want to know […]

Sexy anime exercises – a bit too much?

August 10, 2010 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

I don’t mind admitting that I like my anime. I don’t mind admitting that I like my tech. I like my Google Android. I also don’t mind admitting that I should do some more exercise and loose a bit of weight. I think, though, you can take this too far by merging all three of […]
