This an awesome spoof by Greenpeace that rides on the success of The Force Super Bowl that Vokswagen famously tested online first. Greenpeace UK are clearly unhappy that the car maker is not towing the line when it comes to CO2 emissions. As a result the pressure group has put together this geek friendly and […]
Stormbikers
This is an odd picture for a Hungarian biker blog to be posting. Okay, yes, it does include what appears to be a bike. It’s the driver and passenger that catch my attention though. There’s something familiar about them. I’ve seen them somewhere before. Not sure what’s on the back of the passenger either. A […]

The Imerj smartpad
If you’re interested in the evolution of hardware and the convergence of devices then this is shaping up to be a good year. We’ve got laptops like the Fujitsu Lifebook TH40/D moving towards the tablet space but there’s also phone-like devices moving from the other side of the spectrum. For example, Imerj has a device […]
Fujitsu apologises for Lifebook TH40/D tablet delay
I’m really interested in the convergence of hardware. I’m especially interested to see how mobile computing pairs up with computing. My old “desk” laptop recently became a custom built PC. I travel with an Acer Aspire 1825 which has a swivel touchscreen. I can twist the screen around to turn the device into a chunky […]
R’lyeh removed from Google Maps; some geek alternatives
It was once possible to find R’lyth, the home and resting place of Cthulhu, on Google Maps and on Google Earth. The video at the end of this post acts as evidence. Today it’s not possible to find R’lyeh on either of those two properties. Aww, shucks, Google. I hope you had good reason for […]
Space Invaders traffic signal
Are you familiar with the international traffic light sequence? Stop, get ready, go and blast the human defences? Sure. I’ll admit it; the “blast the human defences” is not the most common feature of the sequence but you’re probably thinking of your local traffic signals. You might even have a green man icon on them.

When gamer geeks hack road signs
The following is a collection of hacked electric road signs; normally they’re used to point out that ‘hard to spot’ 10-mile queue on the bypass, but as it turns out, talented geeks can put the equipment to alternative use.
Nintendo NES controller bra will be clean!
Etsy merchant SceeneShoes will have a success on their hands with this Nintendo branded item. See; I’ve gone and said “hands” already. It’s a Nintendo NES controller bra. I’m sure I dreamt about such a thing as a young teenager! Now, an interesting note appears on the seller page for this bra. It says; When […]
DIY wooden dinosaurs with remote controls!
Remember those wooden dinosaurs you would build yourself fom plywood? You’d end up with skeletal structures but that was okay because you had been building skeleton dinosaurs all along! Could those wooden skeleton dinosaurs be any better? Imagine if they had motors and could be remote controlled. That’s right; you could have your home built […]
