Making things useful, getting stuff done

Floods, Harry Potter Tribute Bands and Other Oddities

  • Finally a use
    for all those inner city SUVs
    :

    The rescue services say the situation is likely to get worse.
    They are appealing to people who own four-wheel drive cars to help reach some of
    the worst-affected areas.

  • The irony of a book to promote better grammar in spoken English being called
    Introducing the
    Language of Talk
    is mind-boggling
  • Phil very entertainingly
    rips
    the new MSN blogs service to pieces
  • Tivo saves
    . From nasty airport guards anyway 😉

  • Deep fried sausage kebab
    is allegedly the “most dangerous fast food in
    Britain”, complete with its own health warning
  • Harry and the Potters.
    A Harry Potter tribute band. No, really.
  • The Quantum Sleeper — for when you
    want your bed to easily turn into a panic room. Loads of features, as
    BoingBoing point out:

    “It also comes with a stereo system, so you can listen to music
    while a demented axe murderer attempts to chop through the polycarbonate
    barrier.”


  • Wifi-blocking wallpaper
    looks pretty ingenious. As does

    translucent concrete
  • Remote controlled
    heart pulse device
    — how long before this turns up as a plot device in some
    assassin or spy programme? When they hack it to cause a heart attack?

  • Jonathan Schwartz on the real definition of “open”
    — with every post he
    surprises me more and more. Salient points, well made and with remarkably little
    corporate bs. Sort of guy I’d love to work for
