A long long time ago, in a land I wish was far far away, was a trend to wear heat sensitive Tshirts that would change colour depending on your body temperature. Suffice to say this ‘trend’ (for want of a better, more derogatory word) soon petered out as people realised just how stupid they really looked. However, [...]
Video conferencing is more than just a useful tool for home-based teleworkers: it’s an absolute necessity. If you are looking to video conference with friends or just don’t want to spend the money on a full-blown professional video conferencing application (many of which are bloated with extraneous and features you’ll never need), then it would [...]
Admittedly, I’m lusting after the Nissan GT-R – I’ve had my eyes on it for quite some time. Finally, as the North American launch date approaches, reviews are starting to trickle in. Thus far, I’ve actually been a bit disappointed with the reviews in that they claim that it’s a track-only car. In other words, [...]
I studied English Literature at university so for me, literature has been forever tainted by those oft bad memories of long-winded debates on subjects that weren’t worth looking at. This collection of fun, but very crazy books made me laugh. I particularly liked the one on how to start your own country. I mean, who [...]
When you think about it, that’s quite a broad statement but there is a kernel of truth in there at least from my point of view. Ever been in London? Most of the people who live in the center of that city, while well-to-do, don’t own a car and rely on public transport or their [...]
As you may, or may not, have picked up from previous thrives, I like to travel. I do get a little fed up with the standard, bland and often soul-destroying experience of staying at a chain hotel. The boring rooms, impersonal service and general atmosphere seems to sterilise the senses. This list of hotel suites [...]
When I take a break I like to spend time relaxing, probably on the beach and just taking time to do very little. But some people don’t see travel like that, some people go on the most insane journeys! One guy has been walking the world since 1983, and he’s 82 years old. Another guy [...]
It’s everywhere on the interwebs now: Microsoft and Yahoo! are back at the table. This time Microsoft aren’t out to buy the company, rather they want to buy into it an retain an option to buy the entire company. Well, at least that’s what is rumoured. Seriously, I really like that Yahoo! are planning to [...]
So McCain was announced as a guest of honour present at the New School graduation ceremony where he’d give a speech to the gathered student body. You can bet your bottom dollar he wasn’t expecting this!
I’m on a total green roll right now, but hey! I was reading this list of the best cities for telecommuters and it got me to thinking: is telecommuting part of the problem or the answer to the question of how to reduce our carbon footprints? Personally I think there are massive benefits for the [...]
Hot on the heels of news that wind power is seeing a surge in the USA comes a report from the University of Rochester on an attempt at sustainable fusion, a technology which could provide huge amounts of power with very little environmental impact and no runaway nuclear reactions or core meltdowns.
Numerous bloggers and newspapers have been carrying stories on the Great Pacific Garbage Patch, a huge floating mess of rubbish caught in a current in the north Pacific. Unfortunately this is a death trap for wildlife and as it degrades it will cause even more problems. What’s worse is the complete lack of effort to [...]
For years I have had an interest in the secret bases operated by government agencies, and more specifically, what goes on in them. I’m not a believer in UFOs or ET, but I do believe that the next generation of weapons technology lies hidden in these places. Whet your inquisitive mind and have a look [...]
I’m a rather big iPhone fan, and day-to-day I am more than pleased with it. Suffice to say that June will be a good month for me when Apple release their iPhone update (hardward and software). There is one thing they could include though: a scramble pad.
Here’s a first look at the new Blackberry Bold. The thing could really be a serious competitor to Apple’s iPhone considering that it comes with GPS and actual 3g high-bandwidth connectivity.
I’m really not a fan of George W. Bush. But I’ve got to confess. The photos from Jenna Bush’s Wedding make her look stunning. Check out more of the photos from the Jenna Bush wedding here.
