It’s been a while since the Wall-E rush but I think the cute little robot will be with us for a while yet. It certainly helps when talented people use Lego Mindstorms to build remote control transformer Wall-E models, video him in action, combine with a funky track and upload to YouTube. It’s really quite […]
Freeland Studio wows us with the steampunk iPhone
This shows you the power of Etsy. Freeland Studios are clearly a talented bunch. However, their website is large in flash and may have only been seen by a few people until their success with this steampunk iPhone holder. Their iRetrofone Steampunk device, on sale at Etsy for $450, has the attention of the bloggers. […]
Space Invaders on London’s Marble Arch
3D projections are all the rage right now. I suspect we’re going to get used to them featuring heavily at trade shows and New Years parties. Here’s a mix of new tech with old architecture: Space Invaders on London’s Marble Arch. This short clip features Jason Bradbury from The Gadget Show. If it’s not featured […]
Rocket chainsaw gun – the best way to kill zombies
How’s this for a weapon? It’s a chainsaw. It’s a chainsaw in a rocket launcher. If you peak at the specs you can see that the chainsaw has little-bitty stablising fans to ensure it flies straight – what could possilbly go wrong? Nothing! Unless you’re a zombie. (Via Unreality)
TomTom get their hands on Master Yoda
We’ve already had a TomTom advert featuring Darth Vader and there’s a TomTom StarWars AR game. I think that’s pretty impressive stuff from TomTom. It might have been expected but it’s still good to see. Now we’ve Master Yoda taking his turn to record voice directions for TomTom. It goes very well. Master Yoda is […]

It works by using millions of micron-sized magnets embedded in each splat of the magnetic Thinking Putty gloop. It looks like it could eat your […]
Finance in Facebook: Halifax Holiday Matchmaker

What they’ve put together, no doubt with agency help, planning, perusading and building, is a Facebook app called the Halifax Holiday Matchmaker. Give it access to your Facebook […]
Mad Scientist? Join the Hovercraft Delorean project
There’s a flying DeLorean in Back to the Future. It’s famous. It’s part of geek culture. It’s clear that Matthew Riese wants one. In fact, after messing up his first attempt – just a little – he’s trying again and needs some money. Wait! Don’t go. It’s the cool way to raise funds – through […]
If Batman played golf – the Batman golf cart
Apparently, it was initially thought that Christopher Nolan owned this clever piece of engineering. That seems unlikely to me! Nevertheless, that suggestion comes from Technabob who also bring us these fantastic pictures of the Batman tumbler golf cart. It’s actually a superfan (and someone handy in the garage) who has put this together. Okay; enough […]
Cute Android phone charm… er, androidy!
I’m not often won over by phone charms but this cheeky chap has a certain character. He’s far from expensive either coming in at less than $3.00 and with free shipping. I’ve not checked but I suspect this doesn’t include international. Today, of course, is a big Android day with Verizon and Motorola announcing the Droid […]
