Everything old is new again
Do you remember that moment when your mother mentioned she happened to have kept those vertiginous 70s wedges in the loft, and yeah, if you liked them you could have them? And then they went on to become the most coveted item in your wardrobe, and the day the strap finally broke was the worstdayinyourentirelife?…
I <3 Macbook decals
The thought of trying to line up a laptop skin with that pesky apple cutout on my new Macbook fills me with Blue Peter shaped horror, which is what makes these decals so perfect. They're all the kind of plastic which is easily removable, should the mood of change take you, and there are loads…
The definitive British Celebrities on Twitter list
When you're done being fascinated by what your friend's had for lunch, and which one of your colleagues hates their job, it's time to get a little more Twitter high brow. And by high brow, I mean really, really low brow. By which I mean celebrities. Obviously. Here's the A, B and Z listers you…
Panasonic launches well spec'd AA-toting DMC-LS85
Panasonic has decided a Friday is the ideal day to launch a whole host of new cameras, having apparently not got the memo about Friday being reserved for videos of meercats and galleries of cupcakes. We'll forgive them this once, since there's a couple of interesting features on the DMC-LS85. The DMC-LS85 is an AA…
Friday Video Fun: All music is the same four chords
Today's video fun is brought to you by the letter Buzzfeed. They have a whole heap of brill videos today, and I've spent at least 15 minutes agonising over which one to choose. I chose this one, although it was a close call between that and the 8-bit version of the Dark Knight and the…
Diary.com: keeping the spilling of your guts personal
The online world has come a full circle. We were once a confidential kind of people, then the internet hit, and we decided to share. Share, and share, and bloody share again. And now, it seems there's some demand for... what's that word? It's been so long... Oh, yes. Privacy. Diary.com is essentially an online…
Clickable oven gloves. Some IRL baking required
I'd like to think that slipping on these 8-bit oven gloves causes you to be entirely rendered as an 80s gaming character, and that you slip into another world to fight the enemies of the kitchen (germs, pets, Jamie Oliver etc). It doesn't say anything about that on the site though, so I wouldn't want…
Low fi tech shadow projector
These are just the most wonderful idea. They're actually oil lamps, so aren't the most high tech of lighting solutions (unless you're looking at it from a Tudor perspective) but they're too pretty to resist. Each lamp has a stainless steel shape fixed to it, and when you light the lamp, the flicker makes the…
BigString destoys yet another of your email excuses
Read receipts are the bane of my life. Request a read receipt and I will refuse to send it, just to spite you. Ha! You will never know if I received your newsletter! Take that! Except now it seems there's a company that has plotted to overthrow my stand against The Man. And that company…
WellAlarm: personal health information in a pretty package
These can't possibly be examples functional, tech-based pieces of jewellery. These are far too high quality metal-y and well designed and generally desirable. And yet, they are. They're all part of WellAlarm, which is your key to all your personal medical details. The idea is that in the case of you having a medical emergency,…
