Check out this cool new technology that allows your mobile phone to connect to a supercomputer so that it can identify all sorts of things through its camera and stuff… well it’s hard to explain, watch the video!

It is surely only a small step from here to futuristic sunglasses that overlay all sorts of information […]

Takes me back to those good old days of table-top Pacman… Looks like great fun though!

Looks like our lovely German Loewe TV is the subject of a recall because it may burst into flames at any moment. Apparently we are not supposed to use it until it’s been serviced… but how is that HUMANLY POSSIBLE! I think we’ll just keep a lookout for smoke and flames while watching the latest […]

I have now bought three Threadless t-shirts for me and one each for the boys! I couldn’t resist the new $10 T-shirt sale. They worked out at only NZ$18 each which is pretty reasonable for such EXCELLENT shirts:

If you ever want to show me how much you love me, check out my Threadless blog which […]

I’ve been merrily snapping away all morning, as you can imagine. One disadvantage of the […]

I’ve just ordered my brand new Canon 350D digital SLR and I am filled with antici-pation. I can’t wait to get back on Flickr with some actual photos - much as I know Rosie has been enjoying the scans.
In other news check out this great post about piracy on Asymptomatic.
To people like the RIAA and […]

Is there anything more tragic than two sick toddlers and a crappy DVD player from the Warehouse that is BROKEN and cannot play a single second of ELMO? This morning I went to Noel Leeming and bought a Sony. Now Elmo is blaring, the toddlers are happy - well, as happy as can be […]

We’ve been using biodegrable disposable nappies for the last week or so. Karen discovered them for sale in NZ over the internet and they are a very reasonable price, about the same as Huggies. You can put them straight into the compost! Sadly we go through so many that I don’t think we’ll be able […]
