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.

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 […]
Nokia N9 – a quick summary
The Nokia N9 looks nice and I suspect it’ll appeal most to brave IT geeks who want to be different. The N9 runs on MeeGo. Nokia are currently rushing to get their WP7 handsets out to market. This is the first pure touch screen phone, according to Nokia, who point out there are no front-facing […]

Steampunk sub-machine gun
Neil Morrison describes this steampunk styled sub-machine gun as “first ever Steampunk build”. He’s happy with it. I don’t blame him! I really hope this is not his last. There’s a commentary on his blog and a host of images on Flickr. They’re both worth the trip over to study in detail. The pictures below […]
Doctor Who’s Matt Smith is Batman
Taking part in 24 Hour Plays involves being given half a day of rehearsals and being in Los Angeles. Of course, for Doctor Who Matt Smith the advantage of being in Los Angeles is that it can really help you break into the money rich Hollywood circuit. David Tennant is trying the same thing even […]
