Sorry, no cards this year. Just a hack of Hopper’s painting. Have a great Christmas and all the best for the New Year.

Good news. Stem cell research is starting to show some impressive results. Take a look at this bloke getting his eyesight back. Good one boff’s!

close call

When you think you have seen everything you come across something like this. A mobile phone with built in electric razor. All I can say… Bring back stubble! [Click through for video]

curiosity trapped the cat

The question is… are you curious enough to click ‘play’? A stunning short animation well worth the watch.

bring back style

Sometime in the not so distant past industrial design had some real flare. There was attention to detail. Nice to see some of that thinking brought forward. Now only if it was something you could get from the shops. [Click through for video]

poor bugger

A cute little critter. I wonder… if all seafood looked so cute, would you still want to eat it?

lego of my camera

Is it wrong of me to want one of these? a 3MP camera with 1.5” LCD screen and 128MB memory. Not necessarily top of the range but such gadg-candy!

moving underground

I can’t say for sure exactly why this appeals to me. It must be my inner Hobbit. The idea that you can make an attractive home within the hillside as opposed to on top of it simply works. Less of an eyesore. A blended, more natural existence.

dear santa can I haves a eyepod

There are going to be some really disappointed nippers out there this Christmas. It’ll prove the point that spelling is important, even to the jolly fella of the North.

print your next gadget

I was chatting to a bud only the other night about 3D printing. Here are examples of printing in 2 different materials from a desktop machine. You don’t have to think too hard about what this could mean for the future. Download and print your next gadget maybe?

get some joojoo

The ‘Mericans can get their grubby little paws on to this Internet Tablet over the next 8 weeks with a preorder and $499 smakeroos. Us Brits need to sit tight. It looks good - very little on the tech spec on their site. Check it out for yourself to decide.

hack things better

Nothing impresses me more than a new gadget. Except maybe a new gadget that will allow you to make another new gadget. Sugru is a mouldable silicon clay that once dry is permanent, waterproof, dishwasher proof… I must get some.

a taste of apple

OK. I might have posted something about the potential Apple Tablet a few times now - not that I’m ‘really’ keen or anything ;). Here is a video of the possible beast in the wild. Press play and begin salivating… slobber!

I read somewhere else (can’t recall exactly) that industry analysts have decided that Apple will release the fabled tablet early Q2 2010 at around $1,000 US.

baby usability

I got these sent to me this morning. I have no idea who the original artist is. If you know, pass on their details for credit. These are funnnnnnny! (Yes, that many ‘n’s).

This works for me. An alarm clock, um watch, that wakes you up when you are good and ready.

paper cut

Awesome stop animation for the Kiwi’s book council. Wouldn’t you love the budget and time to sit their and do a masterpiece like this? No? I would. Brilliant.
