Microsofts “Courier” tablet/booklet

Posted on by

Its been reported on Gizmodo a while ago now, but I was interested to see Microsoft’s take on the rumoured Apple tablet. Personally, I don’t really want a massive iPhone. I’m already underwhelmed by my iPhone. Sure its simple, its neat, it rules my life…but the iPhone sucks.

The Courier is just oozing with nerdy “I want”-ness.

Here is an image of the concept.

perhaps that image isn’t enough, here’s a YouTube clip:

Swine Flu

“I have to laugh at all the moronic crap people become afraid of. Y2K, the year 2012… Swine Flu. Seriously, the only cause for concern is if it actually mutated into a super killer version. Which is actually kinda possible.” – Ben

This image actually comes from a hilarious post that’s been floating around my google reader account for the past week. Click here to check out the other “communication images”.

Actually I just found another awesome one from the same link, I love Super Troopers.

Profiteroles

Posted on by

Profiteroles are one of my all time favourite desserts. Seriously they are awesome. The only thing that trumps a profiterole is a chocolate-custard filled profiterole. It is much higher up on the french pastry food chain. I love them so much I had a towering mountain of them, called a “croquembouche” made for my 21st birthday.

Lego Boba Fett Costume

Posted on by

“Tell me this isn’t one of the most unique and awesome halloween costumes you’ve ever seen. Sure its uber nerdy, but it is full of win. The only costume that could be more full of win is this hot girl in a Pikachu outfit. I would wear this outfit this halloween… and it would be a whole lot more politically correct than my current idea of dressing up like Rick James.” – Ben
