Heh heh!
Well not quite, but the Earthrace boat is up for sale. You can have the coolest biodiesel boat on the block for a paltry US$1.5 million. It is a one-of-a-kind after all. In June 2008, the amazing Earthrace vessel set a new world record for a powerboat to circle the globe, and she did this with 100% renewable biodiesel fuel, and a net zero carbon footprint.

Spreadtweet needs to go on the Red Ferret shortlist for best-named product of 2009. Basically it’s a boss key for Twitter allowing you to receive and view updates while you work, displaying them in a faux Excel (2003 or 2007) or iWork Numbers (OS X) spreadsheet. Needs the Adobe AIR runtime. Or perhaps you should speak to some one about your addiction. So, you work at a big corporate, huh? And you’re not allowed to use Twitter… Wouldn’t it be…
Everyone dreams of quitting a horrible job in a blaze of glory, but most of us end up just slinking out the door. What do you do then if you want to quit, stay on good terms with your old boss and still go out in style? Well if you’re a software developer like Jarrad Woods , you code your resignation notice in a Mario brothers-esque game and sit back and reap the publicity. When Jarrad resigned from software developer…

The kit comes with 42 movable and removable decals for creating the perfect level. $US79.99 from Perpetual Kid. Made with blik Re-Stik, these movable and reusable decals are based on the same 8-bit graphics from the NES version of Donkey Kong. This is an official Nintendo Licensed product. You can do a lot of decorating with one pack but imagine the…
This Tauntaun sleeping bag just popped up on Thinkgeek and it’s what every budding Star Wars fan Dad should get for their littlies. It’s stylish and has all the trimmings you’d come to expect on a real tauntaun. There’s a saddle, intestine patterns on the inside and even a light sabre zipper pull! Hopefully it doesn’t come with genuine Tauntaun smell though. $US39.99. UPDATE: Yeah I know, April Fool. Where’s my editor? Isn’t he supposed to pick these things up?…
Man I love all this. A lovingly crafted report, this time on an Italian Pizza Vending Machine. Classic stuff! The video is awesome. Tags: pizza+vending+machine
You want April 1st? We’ll give you some. If you’re going to do it, do it right peeps, not just some random Photoshop and a bit of har-har text. This Voss & Mauser GPS implant service site does it properly. Stick the gun on the arm, shoot the little GPS dongle under the skin. Perfect for tracking baby’s wanderings right? Love the Flash design, the funky music loop and the German (nice touch, bit of a Bond scientist feel there). Happy…
So it’s not quite the usual Red Ferret gadget faire, but I couldn’t resist. The Roll and Store Rolling Pin is made of clear acrylic and stores 9 plastic cookie cutters. It’s a 46cm rolling pin with silicone handles and the whole thing is dishwasher safe (except the handles). $AU18. The Roll and Store Pin is a rolling pin like no other. Sure, it’s a fantastic rolling pin but what makes it even cooler is the set of nine fun…
I spotted this delightful Better Mouse Trap article over at the Strobist blog. The gist of the story is a pesky mouse had been busy tormenting the designer of a range of high-end remote flash gun triggers. Being of the engineering persuasion he sets out to a) test some equipment, b) snap some pics of the critter in the act and finally c) catch the critter. Best of all, unlike squirrel-a-pault it does have a happy ending. Imagine that you…
This TV comic clip Everything is So Amazing and Nobody is Happy is absolutely hilarious and also spot on. We’ve got miracles coming out of our ears – mobile phones, aircraft, computers…the list goes on. So why are we all so darn dissatisfied? Tags: so+amazing+but+nobody+is+happy, video, humor
The Google Adsense Generator is a fun way to spoof your friends with your massive advertising revenues. Of course it could be used for less benign purposes, such as promoting those ‘get rich quick on teh Internets’ scams, but we prefer to stay innocent and trusting. We suspect the site may not stay up very long anyway. [Via] I’m sure you have noticed a lot of sites where the owner claims to be earning several thousands dollar each day…

This Open Letter to the Western Banking System is hilarious, brilliantly observed and deserves to be spread far and wide. My favourite bit is deliciously priceless – ‘Perhaps you, like I, find it richly ironic that members of the public still use your investment subsidiaries as a means to protect and grow their private wealth. I think you should promote the activities of these subsidiaries more widely. My idea for an advertising slogan: “When it comes to moral hazard, we’re…
Get your own Aretha Franklin Inauguration Hat. Flickr group. Sad. That hat is epic. That hat makes me love democracy. That hat makes me look less fat…Download it (click the bow), print it, cut it out and wear around town while singing “God Bless America” or any other patriotic song you can think of.
