Bunny Sugar Lumps

Sugar Bunny

I’m reposting this from Girly Bubble on behalf of Sarah :)

Oh NOOOOOOOOOOOO! Poor bunny! These little bunny shaped sugar lumps are so precious they should be in a stop-motion animated feature about the dreary malaise of living in the modern world. In the end of course they would meet their inevitable fate, being dunked in coffee for the edification of sadistic cuteitarians. But isn’t it worth it? Aren’t we worth it, slogging through this life, searching high and low for cute? We deserve to have cuteness be a part of our everyday routine, and if that means sacrificing a few sugar bunnies along the way, so be it.

I stress the above was NOT written by me! :)

Apple ‘Antennagate’ Explained By Taiwanese

July 19th, 2010 • Film, Technology, comedyNo Comments »

Perhaps Steve Jobs will wish he’d used a Taiwanese production company rather than Chinese Foxconn for the iPhone4 after this piece of CGI genius.

Plus! Watch how Steve cures the grip of death with a Light Sabre.

Free Of Gravity Chair

July 19th, 2010 • Design, Random, TechnologyNo Comments »

This is the best chair design I have seen so far. The gravity balance is fully reclined. Your legs can be elevated above your head, and the feeling of floating free of gravity should be amazing. But the price is way too high, over $2000 for one unit.

Designer Of The Week: Jony Ive

July 18th, 2010 • Arty, Design, TechnologyNo Comments »

With all the scrutiny Apple have received over the last three weeks, I thought it apt to highlight one of the many reasons that consumers will continue to use Apple products once the dark clouds of  ‘Antennagate’ clear.

Jonathan Ive & Steve Jobs

Jonathan "Jony" Paul Ive, CBE (born February 1967) is an English designer and the Senior Vice President of Industrial Design at Apple Inc. He is internationally renowned as the principal designer of the iMac, aluminum and titanium PowerBook G4, MacBook, unibody MacBook Pro, iPod, iPhone, and iPad.

In short: One cool dude.

5th Generation iPod

I’d like to add that Apple have always been at the forefront of technology and design, and that one small antenna issue should not be allowed to harm a company which has pioneered not only home computing, personal media access, and cellular phone possibilities; but also CGI animation (namely ensuring the survival and success of Pixar).

People are fickle, the media love a witch hunt, and humans are naturally attracted to highlighting the failures of others. But they all get over it!

iPhone 4 Recall?

iPhone 4 Recall

Apple have announced today that they will be holding a press conference regarding the iPhone 4 Antenna issue. It will be at 6pm GMT on Friday 16th July. This comes after the now infamous news that the antenna issue is a hardware fault and not a software issue as previously indicated by Apple. Stay tuned…

UK Debt 5 Times Worse

July 14th, 2010 • News, Rant!No Comments »

The UK’s national debt is now £5 Trillion, 5 times worse than originally feared. That equates to £200,000 per household. I think it’s time to close the ports, cut ties with Europe and pull out of other peoples battles. If we can’t support ourselves, we shouldn’t be trying to support others. The greater good rules. Sod the rest. (Obviously we need to maintain trade links and natural resources.)

Crap Photos? Sepia!

July 11th, 2010 • Arty, Photography, RandomNo Comments »

Its too hot. I can’t sleep, so what better way to spend my evening than to Monkey around with a few old photos and post them on here?

Exactly.

I read somewhere that if you ever have a crap photo, the best way to give it some life is a bit of Helvetica and some Sepia toning. Apparently it diverts the eye and adds an ‘Olde Worlde’ feel…

Et Voila!

Blackpool

More practice needed, me thinks!
