The exhale glove is here! I personally think this is a fun idea but it might be a little bit gross after a few times of blowing it up. The technology is based on the exhaled air from you into your gloves. The warm air then circulates around your fingers.

Exhale Gloves

It could be pretty difficult to pick stuff up but still a cool invention.

Check out this website. They have some very cool toys. I am really tempted to buy the metal pen. . . no ink and a pencil like finish. Very cool.

I have to second the metal pen, that does look pretty funky. No running out of ink for a while, but I'm wondering if the nib does eventually wear down...

I suppose it must do but not for a good while I would imagine. I think I may just order one of those today to see what it is like.

Can't remember if this has been posted, but: superdickery.com. You've gotta love random, out of context superhero comic scans.

Cool! This website rocks, it directs you to royalty free films, tv programs and other things too. It is called PeekVid and a friend at work directed me to it Thanks Rob!

Not so much a website, but a link to a file that I find far too funny: spelling has never been as chucklesome.

The kids (and some younger staff) at school have gone about this and I have checked it out but my download is crap and far too slow. I will be updating my internet supplier soon and will enjoying being able to watch the chance to watch variety of shows that is offers - such as Prison Break Series 2 which is just about starting to get me fully hooked and really annoyed at the irritating cliffhangers. I wanna know what happens damnit!!!! (If any of you tell, I will kill you in the style of a murderer called Ed from Texas and I won't spare you if you're in a wheelchair)

This is a very good experiment. A new navigation system has been invented and can be checked out here. The project is called dont click it and has some interesting statistics available for you. Have fun.

Tom & Jerry Game - Can you catch Jerry with a complicated trap system? Find out here.

Harry Potter meets his demise at the hands of an evil Final Fantasy Character!

Finally here is the George Bush speach writer. Make the world famous president say whatever you want. It is quite fun!

Remember the Milk is an online task management program using the Web 2.0 theories (ie web based programs). It is supposed to be quite good with sms reminders being sent to your phone and being able to update the task list whilst on the move.

Remember The Milk does look pretty cool, but I still can't get over my issues with entrusting even more of my data to random websites. The map integration reminds me of Zooomr, which lets you link your photos to maps of where you took them, tag who's in them, etc etc.

USA liberal who is very upset with republicans. A stumbled upon link and nothing what-so-ever to do with JK saying he is a republican. No link at all. Honest. Why don't you believe me? No one is that lucky with random website generation. . .or are they?

Now this is genius. The buses in Helsinki are using GPS and they have their position plotted onto Google Maps.

I was well impressed with this one and am tempted to sit and watch where the buses go all day!
