Chocolate Roses. By Lisa. Oy, oy, oy! Unbelievable. $250.00 each.  I create one of a kind artwork by sculpting roses from pure chocolate. I spend nearly a full day in the creation of a single full-size chocolate rose. I take no shortcuts and put no adulterants into the chocolate I work with. If you’d like a look at what I can do using pure white and dark chocolate applied over a marzipan truffle and nothing else except an occasional dash…

Oh no, the Naked Rambler is back. Only this time he is a three. This could run and run.

The BiometricPIN. Super cool biometric security. Don’t just use your fingerprints – since they can be spoofed – but also incorporate a finger PIN, which you use by tapping with your fingers in a certain order. Five years in development and pure genius.  Instead of using a single, easily lifted or stolen fingerprint, BiometricPIN will allow any number of fingers to be used in any sequence determined by the user. No one has been able to achieve this so far and the…

The Super Camper. Well, if you’ve got to keep moving home, it might as well be a nice one!

The Cri Cri plane is very small. Very. You could probably take off, do a circuit and land one of these inside the new Airbus 380. Notice also that this puppy has two tiny tiny jet engines. Now that’s a Very Light Jet.

I admit it, I’m a closet anthropologist. Yep, I know exactly where my wardrobe came from. That’s why I lurve this stunning NatGeo Atlas of the Human Journey. Man’s migration over time. From Africa to Abercrombie & Fitch – just de-lovely.  When humans first ventured out of Africa some 60,000 years ago, they left genetic footprints still visible today. By mapping the appearance and frequency of genetic markers in modern peoples, we create a picture of when and where ancient humans moved around…

I think we can safely say that Steve Jenkins’ Family Home Theater is somewhat different from yer average living room A/V setup. 

Inspired by the BoingBoing figures I’ve just checked the Ferret stats again. The Firefox browser is now the clear leader at 59% of Ferret readership. Click the image above for a larger view. Wow, that’s nearly double since we first checked in January.

Wrappers. Indie designer Deborah Procter has created a range of hand knitted tea cozies for yer iPod Shuffle. From £8.00 incl P&P. Awesome amalgam of kitsch and kitsch.  Wrappers aren’t just practical; they personalise your player too with a choice of over 45 designs. Every Wrapper is a work of art that puts the Bayeux Tapestry in the shade. The most complex designs have over 25,000 stitches, which means around 400 stitches per centimetre square. This very high quality, embroidery…

The 1884 Ericsson Trade Mark Telephone. $59.95. This is one cool looking repro phone, complete with last number redial too. But why oh why do they keep installing push button dials, eh? Tsk. Still…”Hello, hello? Operator? Get me Sam Linklater at the Daily Bugle.”  Not only did Lars Magnus Ericsson invent this incredible telephone in 1884, he constructed each and every one of them with his very own hands…The “Trade Mark” phone broke ground by being one of the first truly…

There’s probably no better way of saying ‘I trust you’, than wearing a full Gothic Suit of Armour to your wedding ceremony. Clanking clumsily up the aisle before swearing fealty has such an Arthurian feel to it, don’t you think? $2,750.00.  Offering a rounded surface to both lance and sword, the Italian Gothic armor was in high demand throughout Europe. During this period of time, the average suit of armor would cost about the same as a top of the…
