Ok, so you know I’ve spent no shortage of words on the UK recently. I mean, they just make it so easy, what with all their flushing their phones down the toilet, sure one time I dropped my pager into the can - but that was a long time ago! And then there’s their recently [...]

Double-dipping my monday art.
UPDATE: the catcam site went down, but now it’s back up at a new address!
Something many pet owners talk about doing in a haha-wouldn’t-that-be-funny kind of way is hang a camera on their pet to see what they’re up to over the course of the day. Well, this person has gone and [...]

Gross. Seriously. Gross. Oh, gross, I just looked at it again. Don’t forget to click on the thumbnail to see the full size. Blackened. Toenail. Necklace.

I’ve finally started watching a few episodes of Ninja Warrior on G4 (in Japan it seems that this show is called Sasuke). It used [...]

Check out this hybrid bungie jump and haute dinner experience, Dinner in the Sky! Basically, it’s a big table (seats 22) where you sit down and they strap you into your chair and then winch you up 160′ with a crane. There you get served all sorts of food while enjoying the view, the breeze [...]

Wow, I say this a lot - what the hell is wrong with the UK? They loves them their citizen surveillance systems. To recap: flying cctvs, lip reading software, loudspeaker cctvs. Now they’ve equipped privately employed wardens with head mounted cameras. First off, privately-employed? You know we don’t approve of the privatization of police forces… [...]

Check out this high speed photography from the MakerFaire of people popping balloons.
