cyborg monkey controls robot arm...

when I seen this video title, I stopped in my tracks and had to watch it. and surprise surprise, it does exactly what it says on the tin!

scientists have tapped into a monkeys brain and the result is.......robo-monkey. but seriously, is this the beginning of a cyborg monkey army? watch this space...

dear santa...I also want...



a ghostbusters proton pack (replica, of course). this little beauty will set you back a reasonable €680, well worth it I say.

my christmas party is movie themed fancy dress, I was thinking of going as a ghostbuster but the only proton pack I could find was a shitty inflatable one. I should have kept the one I had when I was 12, that was brilliant

so the list is now....
1. r2d2 projector
2. replica proton pack

I'm not a geek......i swear....

you little.......drummer



meet igor falecki. a regular polish kid with one difference. he's a drumming freak of nature. youtube videos popped up of him when he was 4, now 6, igor is a pro. with sponsorships from giants such as sabian, maypex and vic firth he is putting on concerts around europe.

but he didn't lick this knack up off the road. igors mother is a singing music graduate and his father, a bass guitarist. but this kids talent is unbelievable.…there's a lot to be said for pussy parents..

technology, my dear watson...


















I know what your thinking...why does a 1930's style radio have usb ports? the reality is, this is a fully functioning PC!

they are made by a guy called Jeffery Stephenson, he has made numerous pc's in this art deco style. all of which don't look anything like a pc.

they would look great in an old timey, sherlock holmes type study...
