The flamethrower trombone of +1
Have you ever seen something and thought to yourself… good, but I can do better? That’s exactly what happened here. The team were aware of other flamethrower trombones out on display in the intertubes and thought; “Could be better!” Here’s the key thing. They actualy went ahead and built a better flamethrowing trombone. Hence the […]
The most dangerous geek game of hopscotch ever
You might recall hopscotch from school days. Perhaps it was not all that long ago you walked along the pavement and looked down to the see chalky designs of neighbourhood kids who had been playing. It’s a game about bounce and balance. I should have known GLaDOS would turn up. How does this game of […]
How long does a wet sponge(bob) last against sulphuric acid?
This blogger knows that many Geek Native readers have a thing for science. Good science. Clever science. You know, the sort of science that interests itself in working out how resistant household objects are to sulphuric acid. It’s an everyday problem – sudden streams of sulphuric acid spraying out in the flat – so knowing […]
Bomb scare at L.A. Anime Expo
Saturday was an interesting day for the anime expo crowd, well, at least the early birds who got there before lunch. The LAPD bomb squad made an appearance.

Creepy as fook! Doctor Who backpack

The sounds dial-up modems make… slowed down 700 times to creep factor 100
Do you remember old dial up modems? Once sweet music to my ear and the sound of pain to my phone bill. Good. Keep ahold of that memory and in your mind slow down the dial up tone by a factor of 7, now 70, now 700. Can’t do it? Me neither. This video solves […]
Lucy Pinder gaming
As part of an advertising campaign for Lynx (strangely known as Ax in the States) their ad agency has uploaded hours of video of Lucy Pinder to YouTube. I looked her up on Wikipedia. She’s a glamour model. There’s a catch. You can ask her to do stuff. Remember Burger King’s funky chicken or the […]
Happy Tau Day – 6.28 to you
Today is Tau Day. You need to think of the American way of putting the month before the date to get 6.28.2011 before that really makes sense. Tau Day isn’t just a “Hey! Look. 6.28 is a rounding on Tau” gimmick. There are maths geeks out there who really think there’s too much focus on […]
