Battlefield Heroes – Its Free!
Yes is another free game moment from me. For a longtime the Battlefield series has been bringing out new ways of killing bad guys in a military theme, Battlefield Heroes is an extension of the brand, but does things a little differently.
While the standard Battlefield Heroes is gritty and aims ...
Growing benches…
I saw this the other day and just loved them! The awesome way they climb the walls and join to each other, excellent!

Film: Princess Pictures
A small film maker with big ambitions likes to take his friends and turn them into actors... Tim McGaw wrote, produced, directed and edited this film, he also wrote the music and did all the graphics and artwork for the production. Not only all that but he hired out a Cheshire country house to ...
Eco-House: Bit like a tardis…
People are always looking for better ways of recycling old stuff, I'm not a big fan of tree hugging, but I don't see the point in putting lots of useful stuff in a big hole in the ground.
On the outskirts of Manchester, near Sale there is a strange site you can see from the M60 (motorway/freewa ...
Ever played the Octopus?
No? Well your in luck! So its not the sea creature, although some people might see the bagpipes as a recycled octopus, but it is a sample desk.
Now there has been a few of these clever little things around, but I have never seen one as detailed as this... the possibilities look quite endless!

Do you have a Wooden Expression?
You could have with this awesome wooden mirror! Yup its fully wooden, the way it works is to use shadow and light to create an image. You stand in front of the mirror, and it records your image turning it into grayscale in the computer. The computer then tells the little wooden panels what ang ...
Furniture Defence!
Its a hard world we live in, things are getting worse especially in the city's and England is one that doesn't escape. Most people in England now sleep with something they can use as a weapon to protect themselves and their families. So if you are going to sleep with something, why not make it ...
Shut up already!
Working from home has MANY benefits, being able to call your hours (most of the time) and being close to the family who are only just a few steps away. Unfortunately this can also be a problem! Babies crying, children moaning television on, its all not conducive to a good working environment rea ...
Robot Rat is Gonna Get Ya!
Your house has just fallen down on your head and you can't get out. You regain consciousness to the sound of something coming to get you... rescue maybe, and then you see this.
Yes its basically a yellow mechanical rescue rat! Oh joy, I hear you cry...
2 extremely clever and no doubtfully ge ...
Want World of Warcraft for Free?
Well it maybe not the infamous WOW itself, but its a very close "idea". I have to stand up now and say, I used to play WOW, a good fair bit, my wife would say probably too much! I gave it up because well, I felt it wasn't really going anywhere (if a place in an imaginary world can) and I was bor ...
Photosynth: Seeing the bigger picture.
Microsoft, recently, haven't been very well known for their successful projects. Maybe Windows 7 will see that change now. Before windows 7 existed and just as Silverlight was breaking onto the scene, there was a project called Photosynth.
Photosynth takes a collection of photos and then arra ...
Sony Walkman vs iPod
The BBC released a really interesting article where they took an average 13yr old boy and swapped him a standard 1980's Sony Walkman for his iPod, Touch for a week! It's amazing to think that some people never experienced cassette tapes, or the fact that you had to turn them over because there was ...
Armadillos love physics!
Its right they do! Games based on physics are not that new anymore, especially since Half-life 2 raised the game. But if you can remember back to the earlier 90's of PC gaming you will remember "The Incredible Machine". This game gave you a set of tools and a task. That task was normally to ...
There, I fixed it!
As I was checking my tweetstream one of my designer buddies @MadysonDesigns posted a link to a great site that shows human problem solving at its best.
thereifixedit.com made me lol a good few times, I love seeing the practical genius of people - even though they probably break every heath and sa ...
Just Can’t Get Enough Of Your Stats
The wonderful and deep world of google analytics is a place many site owner spends a regular amount of time each day over. Mostly with the inhaling of air through teeth, and sometimes that awesome shock of peaking hits.
Its like a morning coffee, you need to look. I know I do and on my regula ...
