Lego Difference Engine + More
Via Boing Boing - A lego Difference Engine. Wikipedia Difference Engine article.
Interesting buzz around the Firefox based open-source iTunes killer - Soundbird. Site seems to be getting hammered at the moment but it looks promising. The Boing Boing article points to mirrors for the curious (only win32 at the moment). Seems a little rough around the edges but the potential is there.
Useful - Domino 7 Upgrade Resources.
Cool - Rollable OLED's have arrived. Maybe the pc of the future won't be a tablet but a roll that flattens to become digital paper/screen.
Gratuitous rumour mongering - Apple to buy Palm ?. Almost as odd as the old 'Sun to buy Apple' rumours of the past.
For the outdoors type - Aidan sent me a link to this cooker which looks like it would save a lot of weight and be quite fun to make. Seems small to actually cook anything significant but maybe its super-efficient ? Does remind me that I need to dig out my old multifuel cooker for our earthquake kit.
Interesting rough and ready guide to converting a photoshop image into a css layout for the web.
