For some sites it can be important to have a short and snappy domain name. Long and complex URLs are also out; better to hide your technology, better for branding on social media (prone to URL shortening) and looks less spammy. So, although this looks nice – I have to ask whether this link is […]
Space Invaders sofa
Fancy some retro alien action in your living room? Igor Chak has rather interesting looking couch that’s available for only a limited period of time. It’s a space invader couch.

T-Mobile trolling drivers
I don’t have a car. I live 3 minutes from work and spend at least one day travelling to the airport to fly to London. If I had a car it would either sit outside my flat or in an expensive airport car park. That’s why watching this T-Mobile ad is especially funny for me. […]
Swing pendulum and the hypnotic waves
Here’s one for the physics geeks. For this to work you have to resist the urge to make a Newton’s Cradle. Instead you need your pendulum cut so the weights are on different lengths of cord. The next step is figuring out a way to set all the weights off at once. Turns out that […]
