Case mod – the spidercase

Hard to get into this site at the moment due to the site being slashdotted but worth a visit tomorrow when the rush has subsided – this case mod is called the spidercase and it’s certainly unique! If you’re an impatient type of person then luckily some kind /.’ers have cached some pictures of the case here, here or .

If that wasn’t enough modding for you then check out the Imperator – Imperial Star Destroyer case mod.

Measure The Speed of Light With Chocolate and a Microwave

I could have sworn that I posted this a couple of days ago but apparently not.

This is nerdy, and one for the scientists out there ( although it’s less geeky than the ‘How to send ping packets via a bongo drum). Here’s how to measure the speed of light using only a ruler, some chocolate and a Microwave.

Tasteless Unreal Mod – 9/11 survivor

This looks to good to be a hoax (but you can never tell these days). 911survivor is a mod for Unreal which seems to pitch you into the WTC from where you have to escape. Sick and Tasteless (but the screenshots do look good I must admit)

Css Layout-o-matic

If I ever get round to re-designing this site (any offers welcome) then I might finally get round to doing a 3 column version instead of the current 2 column version you see here. Layout-o-matic is a CSS layout-maker which takes the pain out of making cross-browser compatible layouts.

Taste the Secret – have a MeatShake

Only the Home of the Brave, Land of the Obese could invent the Meatshake – it’s a milkshake made out of meat. The Canadians have a better idea and have their own Beer & meat shake.

I feel sick.

Body Brush

No, this isn’t some kind of scrubbing implement for the shower, its a mega cool, if somewhat useless, merging of technology and art to create 3d virtual gorgeousness. I had to blog this, as I had a go at SIGGRAPH a few weeks ago.

FishTank Platform Shoes

If the p1mp in your life is in need of some new shoes then hop over to phatp1mp clothing for some FishTank Platform Shoes – yep, you heard, platform shoes with a real live fishtank* in the soles.

*by which I mean the fishtank is real, not the fish so don’t report me to the animal rights people

The 100 Worst Porn Movie Titles !

I never realised that there were people out there who wouldn’t be ashamed to call a movie ‘Yank My Doodle, It’s A Dandy’. This list of the 100 Worst Pr0n Movie Titles shows how misguided I was. Do they go home at night and tell their wives, ‘we finished filming ‘The 4nal Girls of Tobacco Road 2: Vag1na Slimes” with pride (or even a straight face)?

Doctor Who to return

In case you hadn’t heard yet – Doctor Who is going to return to the BBC for a new series. Don’t get your hopes up – it’s bound to suck.

Nice ‘tache

This year’s World Beard and Moustache Championships are about to take place in Nevade in November. Looking at these superb photos I know where I’m getting next week’s buddy icons for trillian from.

1984 is one step closer

Afer Grom’s blog of the scary FindMyFriends phone tracking system, I seem to keep finding more evidence of a Big Brother state here in the UK. For instance, the BBC is currently running two stories, one about smart tickets for London commuters, and another one about new digital tags on goods in shops. If the proposed ID card gets launched, they really will be watching you. Even when you’re on the loo.

Breaking News – World Record Shattered!

David Blaine’s got nothing on me – he takes 44 days to beat a non-existant record whilst I only need 24 hours to smash a record.

Eclectic Method

I haven’t posted any bootlegs or ‘mash-ups’ as MTV have started calling them in a bid to make it seem like they invented them. Eclectic Method have been busy boys and have a few new video cut-ups to download – pick of the bunch for me has to be the Nerd vs The Coral mix.

Tack-O-Rama

Superb site – especially good as a resource for 40′s, 50′s and 60′s images – Tack-O-Rama has an excellent set of Stock photos and free fonts mixed in with loads of other cool stuff.

RIAA admit they got wrong person but insist they will ‘keep an eye’ on the 66 yr old granny

The RIAss of America have screwed up again. This time they’ve had to withdraw a lawsuit against a 66 yr old granny who they accused of downloading over 2,000 songs such as ‘I’m a Thug’ by Trick Daddy. They have admitted that they were mistaken but stated that they will ‘reserve the right to refile the complaint against Mrs. Ward if and when circumstances warrant’. Which is legal speak for ‘just because you haven’t broken the law this time doesn’t mean that you won’t so we’ll be watching and we’ll keep this supoena handy’.

Idiots.

Microsoft to Shut Down Chat Rooms – admit to being losers

I take a certain amount of pleasure in reading that Microsoft have shut down their Chat Rooms in virtually every country.

As one of the team who set up one of this countries largest chat systems (Freeserve chat), I’m also smug that we’ve been internationally quoted as saying ‘Chickens!’.

FindMyFriends – Big Brother is watching you

FindMyFriends is a new, evil service made by money-grabbing corporate wh0res who want to sell you a service whereby you can find out where anyone is at any time by triangulating the signal from their mobile phone. Of course they justify it by saying that you can only track people by ‘inviting’ them first.

As usual they’re defending it by the old ‘Will nobody think of the children!’ cry to try to alarm parents.

evil fcukers.

Happy Tree Friends – in your own home!

You may remember Grom’s semi-recent blogging of the violently cute Happy Tree Friends, a net cartoon by Mondo Media, of cutesy wabbits etc meeting grisly ends. Well now you can get it on DVD, and next week, it will be available in the UK too. Cool!
