You know how it goes, batphone rings, “We need ur help Batman” off he pops to some arbitary room, twists a candle, presses a button, pulls a book from a shelf or all manner of other handy secret switches and bosh a door magically opens leading down into the inner sanctum of the cave. Unadulterated cool stuff. I personally think i’d be awsome to have a secret room/passages in my house, photo frame moves up to reveal a Biometric finger scanner which then twists a bookshelf around revealing my desktop computer study area. Handy or wot.
And guess what, I CAN! Thanks to the guys at hiddenpassageway.com you can buy urself all the bits and bobs needed to create your

Ten top reasons why geeks will make good fathers and thus should be coveted by all members of the female species as they are as valuable as gold laced with diamond. Heres an example:

1. LEGOS. The Geek is really more of a Man-Child than an adult. In their minds, they are still 10. They freakin’ still love to play with their legos, and have never grown up. I have one friend, WHO WILL REMAIN NAMELESS, that still has legos in his room. He doesn’t have kids. Just legos. Of course, my children love legos and Steve will lovingly spend hours playing legos with them.

The Other Reasons

Sounds a bit daft but bare with me. Its actually an experiment in Hive Mind reasoning. At a Las Vegas conference a demonstration of some clever computer vision was being shown. People in the audience had a paddle with Red on one site and Green on t’other. A camera picked up all the audience and software then drew an image of the members as a red or green pixel on the main theater screen. Good so far?
The game of pong was then tested, with the right side of the conference hall controling the right paddle and vica versa. If the number of red paddles shown was higher than the green the paddle moved up, otherwise down it goes. Aparently the

This is what happens when you get a bigass power distribution node that needs maintainace. You need to turn it off, but to do that you need to disconnect it all. Enter the biggestest and coolerest switch ive seen in operation yet. with half a million volts running along the thick steel of the bars that get opened the result is a beatiful lightning show that arcs about 20 feet into the air. What a cool job that must be

I was wandering around Digg.com and fell onto two very cool tech demos. Proof o concept type stuff. The first is a screen which allows multiple touch contact with discreet handling. Ie, u can put more than one finger to the screen and itll happily cope. Theres a snazzy video demonstrating it all. Its very pretty and looks very powerful. The method it uses to actually work is actually suprisingly simple, called Frustracted Total Internal Reflection. Check out the video on its homepage : mrl.nyu.edu/~jhan/ftirtouch/

The other demo is a Sony endeavour named Revolution or Data Tiles the basic principle

Since i updated to wordpress 2 i found that it can do an “import” of rss feeds. I quickly setup a beta test site on comscare and had a play. Later to realise that it only allowed File imports. Not to be outdone, i had a look around and found a very powerful syndication feed system called feedwordpress. I quickly implemented it (needed some source changing to suit WP2) and i was away, quickly adding feeds left right and center. After updating user author accounts which had been generated by the plugin i set about doing faces etc.

The outcome for all this messing around is basically a very pretty and powerful aggregation of all feeds. Unlike the standard planet

So yeah, Christians, misunderstood? or simply the process of 2000 years of unchanging belief based on a book that was written by the “3rd person observer society”. Whatever they might be, they’re never going to have conflicting beliefs, oh no. So when i found that some rather horny christians had set up an online sex shop named “Wholly Love” i had to check something.
I do belive that religious types are against contraception, now i’m not one to really have a go at religion (hahaha, yeah right) but when i found that the Wholly Love site has just that for sale i was a bit confused. Do only SOME people do the NO CONTRACEPTION thing, or are

I found the Ninja Shirt folding technique to be invaluable when packing for christmas, its supreme ninja powers with added Kung Foo flipping to bags provided me with endless fun and in a short time i was able to continue my regular training (Ie, sitting doing nowt) However, never to be outdone, the geeks of the land have outsmarted the humble shirt with yet another technique. This method is not quite as ninja, however its awsome mechanical genius is a testiment to the inovativeness of common geek kind.
Gentlemen and Lady i provide you with the TShirt folding machine, not only does it demonstration the system it comes with labeled diagrams regarding how to construct
