Rudd’s Downfall
I’m really enjoying the ‘Downfall’ parodies (and the surrounding drama, and the parodies of the drama).
there i fixed it
I’ve been around the DIY / hacking world for a while now, thought I knew the field, but this site is amazing.
Butter Ball
I was in Istanbul recently, which was great; the Hagia Sophia, the Basilica Cistern, the Spice Bazaar, wonderful friends, and this incredible butter ball.

Electric Dream Car 123 version 2
I’ve blogged about this amazing vehicle before, but it’s worth revisiting because Greg Zanis and sons have made some progress. The Dream Car 123 now has GOLD TRIM, neon lighting and 80 lead-acid batteries, while retaining the original pyramid form factor, single person occupancy, and bullet proof Plexiglas. Greg has a new video and is looking for financial backing to take this puppy through to production.
It’s nice to see someone who isn’t afraid to put themselves on-the-line; I’m generally shy about handing out my email address, Greg is giving out his phone number. It’s a brave move, if surfing the interwebs has taught me anything it’s that there are a lot of nut jobs out there.

Bees have Face Recognition
Last week I was stung on the face by a bee. Sadly, the bee died. I am still going strong.

Had the bee survived, and had I given it some kind of sugary reward, then according to scientists at the Université de Toulouse, it would have remembered my face.
I really couldn’t say the same for the bee, I’m afraid they all look the same to me.
