No Socks.
No Undies.
No Ties.
Would be the perfect compliment to my Lunatik

September 26, 2011Bluelounge….New iPhone accessories!
September 26, 2011So I couldn’t help myself and decided to buy some new gadget-y accessories. Of course they are for the iPhone.
I decided to buy some new stuff from bluelounge.com.
Due to our family owning multiple iPhones, and an iPad2, all supported with media streaming from our HTPC, there is really no reason to get carried away and buy a MacBook or an iMac…..yet. So in the meantime I decided I needed a little dock/stand. What better one to get than the ‘Milo’ from Bluelounge.
It is indeed now a mini iMac or at least will be once I take delivery of the shiny goods, that smell like fresh computery plastic goodness.
I also purchased a couple of these cool ‘miniDocks’, the premise being is that when plugged into a charger your phone is usually on the floor and kickable, also difficult to use.
These little docks, I think will be great for the kitchen, or lounge room where your phone can be docked and charging whilst easily accessible and functional. that look pretty tidy you have to admit.
And then finally, not happy with the sloppy fit of the iPad case I accidentally got for our iPad2. I got some ‘Kicks’, this way I can get the smart cover I originally purchase with our iPad back out. and I can have the iPad2 in its beautiful uncased sexy form on show for all to see.
Cute streamlined feet-y goodness. Nice thinking, simple, probably a bit of a rip off but hey. I didn’t think of it.
Anyways, I will let everyone know what they are like when I recieve them, of course I am sure they will come in great packaging.
Absolute network pron
July 4, 2011
What a beautiful beautiful sight.
Absolute networking pornography.
Just bought this yesterday. In time for TPG to be absolutely fucked. Currently getting line speed around 150kb/s. Telstra here we come.
Reception is absolutely amazing and home network streaming is super fast.
Should’ve taken Cale’s advice a long time ago.
Billion 7800n for the win. Just joined the networking L33t.
Ron Moss, Beyond 2000… It was all true.
April 16, 2011
I just didn’t believe it at the time. I don’t know why. Some thing about a balding ‘caesar type’ character aka. Ron Moss telling me, that’s right telling me that I would be using only a card to pay for things electronically.
Then on top of that telling me that I would be possibly getting to work on a jet pack and that we would do all work once at work on ‘personal computers’. Pffffft. What ever Ron Moss. If that is your real name. I suppose you are also going to tell me that there is no prototype hover board and that michael j fox was held up by strings. Yep. What ever.
Now I typing this on a tablet pc with more intuitive thought than most of the life guards at Sydney Olympic park and better design (totally arguable and just for emotional value and not my honest opinion) than Raymond Kappe and Frank Lloyd Wright put together actually no, I went too far. ‘Fallingwater’ cannot be beaten.
iPad is amazing. We have just purchased the iPad 2 after selling our quad core intel pentium core 2 q6600.
I am very happy with this choice.
With it went a 22″ screen. Why did we need a 22″ screen in the first place? Who knows? Prob just cause the man said and 22″ is better than 10″ right?
Now we have no wires. Not even from our modem router to the media centre (still AMD) now with six terabytes because it became surrogate for the drives donation from the HP but still ver much needed.
God help the world when apple catch up and invent a useable wireless NAS that is as easy to plug and play as me syncing photos between iPad and iPhone in 3 taps.
This simplicity is what the world needs. I don’t care that I am locked in, restricted to millions of apple only apps. Nor do I care that I can’t get turn by turn for free hacked. Nor do i care that I have to use iTunes as the host for iPhone and iPad. What I care about is when I want to use my iPhone as a phone it is just and only that. When it is a camera it is just and only that. But when you reach inside it’s magic hat of tricks the rabbit your pull out is not white. It is every colour you want and more.
I just saying iPad 2 is probably even better than I thought it would be. More functional than a pc on a non intricate level. My whole family can use it. Even the smallest 17months old. And I know for a fact her Nanny will be able to use it.
This really did turn into a rant. Wow sorry.
What I am trying to say is the rare occasion I do carry cash and the rare time at work where I do use a wire connected device to access the internet and the rare rare times I do use a skate board with wheels makes me think. Ron Moss I am so sorry. Your were just so right. About everything. We even have GPS. And it is inside our phones which are wireless. Crazy. Absolutely crazy. I just rang our children’s grandparents with a video phone last night on in electronic device not as big as a warehouse and it was with video feed and only slightly bigger than a piece of paper.
I am sorry for all the times I said “yeah right, sure Ron Moss sure well have reversing cameras in our cars”.
Technology is amazing. People should take a little more time to understand it. I think that is what is holding it back. The haters if you will. Just embrace it. I know all you “67.5ers” love those forward emails. And that’s all twitter is smaller faster versions of forward email, a current affair, a good mews channel, and the police scanner.
I have just ranted and raved and done all sorts of poor analogies and 3rd person speaking and I haven’t even mention technology’s beautiful design. That would of course be a post on it’s own.
Simplicity. Pure Simplicity.
April 9, 2011Maybe except for the embedded pen and the ultra post modern design it would be classifed as simple.
John’s Phone is a beautiful and simple alternative to total tech immersion that is what you get with current smartphones.
we are hoping to review one in the flesh now that we have seen these beautiful people.
Every one in our team wants to have the most up to date tech products but also along side this urge grows one to regress into our shells and use purely functional bare necessaries.
Either way you go yourself. this phone is beautiful in another way.
the model pictured is the uprated business version that includes an address book (paper) in the back and a pen that is hidden like a stylus.
truly cool.
Little and cute. From $55k to $88k
March 27, 2011The “city car” is all the rage with both Aston Matrin and Ferrari now jumping on the band wagon. The price tag is definitely for the over indulgent though.
but both are terribly cute
This is the “Abarth 695 Tributo”, the miniature Ferrari’s 1.4-litre turbocharged engine produces 132kW of power and 250Nm of torque. – can’t wait for Barabus to get a hold of one.
And also the Aston, both are a little similar, but if you had the money you would start collecting ‘squashed’ supercars, Not exactly a DB9 but very cute
When windows fails in windows
March 27, 2011Seen this the other day.
Thought it was a bit ironic that windows had failed in a window display.
good old windows. Can’t hate on Win 7 though. It has performed well and really impressed me. Doesn’t stop me from wanting to change to Apple though.
Guess its easy to take technology for granted, (even win 3.1) and not check whether it is taking care of business or not.
So the Note to self is, check all aspects of your shop if you are rocking technology because this is a real distraction even takes away from what your place of business is sell.
Hesitant? This may push you over the edge

Keyboard to die for [i don't mean 'the']
February 28, 2011ever wish you could do away with your boring as fuck keyboard, and plug in a new one that is so fucking cool it could put your whole PC to shame. This is the Optimus Tactus.
Art. Lebedev Studio have made it.
It looks like a keyboard that you choose any Pantone that you want but then you find the next picture mind fucks you as does the one after that.
As the keyboard does not have any physical keys, areas can be assigned to do almost what ever you want. Like play a video.
that is all.
these pictures say it all.
Check it out at Art. lebedev Studios
Cardboard Memories
February 28, 2011
Spattered around the internet are these ‘green’ USB sticks that come in various memory sizes. They are called ‘Flashkus‘, from Art. Lebedev Studio
Very cool, and so very functional should you have to give you presentation out on USB, along with a phone number, or pop it in your notebook to share some important ideas during a chance meeting with a client.
either way, if this is the clean minimal, non plastic dildo shaped media storage solutions for the future I am definitely in!
too clean huh?, imagine, ‘hey man got some awesome tracks from RCRD LBL the other day, you want in?’ and with that you tear one off dump the Mp3s on the stick write the artists name which in this case would be ‘cool as fuck’ and pass it on to your friend.
Art. Lebedev Studio believe this is the future of portable media.
