I have absolutely no idea how long this has been around, but it’s brilliant. A funky flash tune created using nothing but the Windows sound effects. And complete with surreal Sound Recorder button choreography. Completely barmy, but delicious!

FOR SALE – One Imperial Star Destroyer. Current bid �305.00. Daddy grounded me. Said I’d neglected my English and spent too much time playing with my Yoda Barbie. ‘Darth Vader�s flagship was the ISD I Devastator. It is recognisable from ISD IIs by its bridge tower. Vader last used the Devastator when he tracked down and captured Princess Leia�s ship over the planet Tatooine. The rear engines can be ignited with a simple push…

Cool Text is a neat and free online logo and button generator. Nothing too fancy, but it works!

Innovative use of digital cameras – #3949 Saw a guy yesterday wandering down the road posting flyers on lampposts. Every time he finished, he stepped back and took a snap of the sign with a tiny digital camera (making sure to frame a landmark in the background). No doubt he handed the results to his paymasters later on, to claim cash for the sites he’d set up.

I already receive movie times and new DVD notifications via email, so why has it taken so long for television listings to come to the inbox? Beats me. They now have it in Japan [Babel] it seems.

The KanaX3 [Babel] MP3 player from Greenhouse. Boring? Certainly. BUT, it comes with a teeny built in 70mW speaker. A speaker for cripes sake! In an 8cm long gidget. $215.00. We’ve got to be talking Hiiiii-Fidelity here folks.

Tech TV has posted the Ultimate Password Recovery Guide. Definitely worth a bookmark. Just in case.

Project Dalek. ‘The Dalek Builder�s Workshop Manual came about as a direct result of my first encounter with dalek building. Fortunately I somehow had the foresight to jot down various notes on building as I went along. These notes formed the basis of the manual.’

June 9th is apparently International Webloggers Day. I believe that you will be expected to locate the blogger nearest to you and feed them. Donuts. Or something. Wow, are there really 4.12 million weblogs out here?

Well suddenly there’s no shortage of free photo and illustration download sites out there. A reflection of the rise in popularity of digicams? See stock xchng for one, and Pixel Perfect for another.

A night vision monocular for kids? What a great way to encourage the little blighters to go to sleep on time. $99.95. ‘Enhanced infrared optics and ultra-clear LCD display allow the wearer to see up to 75 feet away in total darkness, making the monocular the ideal companion for nighttime games, camping, or just creeping down to the kitchen for a midnight snack.

Cornell University for some reason has an absolutely splendiferous Home Gardening section on its website. Flower growing guides, vegetable guide, the lot (arf!). Excellent resource for the green and purple fingered.

The IDSniper rifle is freaky in a totally Bladerunner ‘oh good grief, you can’t be serious, this is sci-fi isn’t it?’ kinda way. ‘It is used to implant a GPS-microchip in the body of a human being, using a high powered sniper rifle as the long distance injector. The microchip will enter the body and stay there, causing no internal damage, and only a very small amount of physical pain to the target. It will feel like a mosquito-bite lasting…

The Star Trek Dimmer Switch for lamps. Make it so! ‘Out-of-this-world module responds to your voice commands with authentic Star Trek sounds from the bridge. Just plug the module into a standard wall outlet and plug a lamp into the module. You easily train the module to recognize commands in your own voice up to 15 feet away.’

The problem is that I don’t understand why these good people are sticking MPEG 4, SD flash memory card video recorders [Babel] to their helmets and motorbikes. Is it some strange ritual that we in the West have overlooked? Should we be worried?
