Since the Apple vs Android war has officially kicked off, I'd like to pledge my allegiance to Android.

After checking out what's currently on … [Read more...]
Harry Hill’s TV Burp Knitted Character
First things first, "Knitted Character" is quite clearly crocheted and if you're a crafty type (like me) that probably bothers you every single week (a handy reminder that crafty types nearly always need to get out more).

Wall decals and stickers for geek-friendly decorating

It's been on my list of "promising but not quite there yet" sites, but it's … [Read more...]
Dave – it’s not just for boys
Not Dave the name. I'm all for equality of course, but to be honest, I'm not overly worried about reclaiming (or claiming, I suppose) the name for womankind. We probably have bigger fish to fry. Such as - to make a devastatingly neat link that will leave you stunned - Dave the channel! Because … [Read more...]
Regretsy: The good, the bad, and the seriously ugly
Etsy is full of some amazing items. Handmade jewellery, pretty kidswear, and intricate home furnishings. It's also got some awesome crap. So much crap that there's an entire website dedicated to it. Regretsy brings a regular dose of the weird, creepy and mildly perverted from Etsy. Take the … [Read more...]
