Ian Usher is auctioning his life to all-comers on 22nd June on eBay. The lot. His house in Perth Australia, car, jet-ski, everything. He’ll walk away with just his passport and the clothes on his back. Full details can be found on his site at www.alife4sale.com. The Internet sure is a weird place, huh? [Via Metafilter] One thing I found really interesting was his video on driving one of those really HUGE trucks in the open cast gold mines in…
Alan Cook of Market Harborough in the UK has converted his garden shed into a full on high tech super crib. OK, so let’s be clear about this, it’s a 3 metre by 2 metre shack in his garden which now contains a mini-gym, games console, fridge, Lazee-Boy chair, broadband Internet, Sky HD television A/V rig and a landline phone. We’re speechless. His wife is lonely. Mr Cook explains: “My wife always joked that I used to spend more time in…

This Russian SUV conversion goes to show that where there’s a will – and a 13.6 ton armoured personnel carrier – there’s a way. You wouldn’t want to travel large distances in this though, would you? Not at 3 inches to the gallon or whatever it does. The mechanical gear stick was replaced with electronic joystick which is connected to electro driven gear box. Now they can switch the gears as easy as on a video game, before one had to have a huge muscle…

The Indoor Dog Restroom is just a terrible idea, isn’t it? Well actually it’s probably not the worst.

Save Windows XP. Er…ah…huh? OK, so in all your wildest dreaming, would you ever imagine that Microsoft would have produced an operating system that was SO bad, that someone somewhere set up a petition to keep using the older version? Could you? This must rank as the most humiliating thing ever to happen to a software company. Ever. And worse, 57,000 people have already signed up. Sheesh! I’ve got to say, I actually enjoy using XP right now (it’s really really stable as long…

Instead of relying on a basic alarm, you can set the service so that your friends and family can wake you up every morning with a custom voice or music audio track. You leave the computer on over night and the next morning you’re woken up by the sound of your daughter saying ‘Daddy I love you…’ or your best mates screaming obscenities from the speaker. It sounds a…

Kitty Wigs. Um…not sure there’s much we can say about this small online store. $50.00 per wig complete with a ‘paw prrrooof case’ and small rattle. There’s a Flickr group too? Yowsers! Kitty Wigs is a product of the feverish imagination of Julie Jackson and her siamese partner in crime, Boone. Sometimes the pressure of Julie’s day job…combined with Boone’s constant state of leisure results in loud music, wigs and dancing. This has brought such great stress relief (particularly during the holidays), that we decided…
