The Somewhat Ambitious

Well well well. After several weeks of filtering through some exceptional responses to our laziness competition, we’ve decided on the winners. Well, there’s one winner for now. The way we’ll work it is every few weeks, we’ll change the banner depending on our mood. Also, several people have said they want to submit entries late, [...]

It’s possible to approach things from different perspectives.
Take this little tidbit plucked from Neatorama. Helmut Smits, a conceptual artist, decided to create a new work based on a nuance of Google Earth. He has burned an 82 x 82 cm square in an open field, the exact size of one pixel from an altitude of [...]

Many apologies for such a long silence, but it’s been a very busy easter weekend. I trust you all had a good one, and didn’t succumb to a diabetic coma on account of all the eggs.
Today is patch day! For those of you who don’t play or don’t know anything about World of Warcraft (which [...]

The boffins (read: potential necrophiliacs) over at Instructables have gutted a mouse, stuffed it, and somehow made it function as a computer mouse.

Sort of.
You see, in case you hadn’t heard, Luke has cancer and right now, he’s knee-deep in a critically acclaimed (no, seriously) show at the Melbourne International Comedy Festival. You may have noticed, if you’re a denizen of Melbourne, that Luke has been featured rather prominently in The Age this morning (the article can be [...]

I wonder if Danger Mouse (the producer, not the mouse) had any idea what he was unleashing when he ditched The Beatles ‘The White Album’ and Jay-Z’s ‘The Black Album’ into a blender and moulded the results into the legally questionable ‘The Grey Album’, a mash-up record passed around the internet with the sort [...]

Much of the nerd community is begging for an excuse to go outdoors. Most nerds are actually normal people with hidden (or not so hidden) fetishes, some have skin allergies which make exposure sunlight impossible, and some are convinced they are vampires*. But I’ll wager even the most stalwart agoraphobic would venture outside for this. [...]
