Pimp my iPad

iPimp

I don’t have an iPad and if I wanted one and if I could spare the wonga, I sure as hell would not be buying it even if it is encased in ammonite, gold, diamonds and T-Rex bone. How the hell have these guys got away with using T-Rex bone anyway? – doesn’t that belong in a museum? or are fundamentalist christians denying the existence of such bone, insisting it is merely a test of their faith?

It turns out the guy that designed it is Liverpudlian which would suggest the components are stolen.

Well I still wouldn’t want an iPad if it was bound in Steve Jobs himself, a pouch for my iPhone using his ball sack however…

Square go anyone?

Posted on by

I’ve had an idea for a lucrative new toy that could take on the mighty Lego, it would be just like Lego but instead of having round bits, it would have square bits… I call this invention “Squarego”. I see it really catching on especially in Scotland, I can hear “Squarego!” being shouted in school playgrounds up and down this godforsaken country already.

well, this combines two of my earlier posts perfectly, a new smartphone and hand drawing capability. Unless Apple come up with a phone with a stylus before my current contract is up, I gotta get me one o’ these…

The Roses United

Posted on by

I have to admit to having a passing admiration for the Stone Roses first time round and I remember clearly the day my older brought home the Second Coming on LP and playing it repeatedly, the tracks: “begging you” and “tears” being particular highlights. So when I heard they were reuniting I was pretty chuffed for them and for those of us old enough to remember them first time round, who may have felt a tad pissed off when they split. But like so many other bands that have done the same it will not be the same this time round… that’s not to say I won’t go and see them should they make it to Glasgow on their forthcoming ‘world tour’. When they did split most people’s money was probably on John Squire to make more of a success of himself but it turns out Ian Brown sold way more records than the shitey Seahorses ever did and THIS is a gem of a track off his first album [this version is especially good as the rhythm section is particularly prominent - and being a drummer of sorts - that is no bad thing]. Enjoy.

Ed Millhouse-Band

It started off as a simple exercise to illustrate the similarities I see between Ed Milliband MP and Millhouse from the Simpsons but ended up being something a lot more sinister. That’s Ed on the right by the way…

Shouldn’t speak ill of the dead or indeed the unemployed but I couldn’t help myself with this swift bit o’ photyshop. I won’t be the only one celebrating as another shady Tory bites the dust…

Dinnae Talk Siri

Posted on by

I was initially quite underwhelmed with the launch of the iPhone 4S, it seemed to just correct a lot of the bugs from the previous model such as loss of signal when holding it a certain way. That was until I heard about Siri – how cool would talking to your phone be instead of having to type everything…

“phone me a taxi when I get too pished and start making an arse of myself”

“remind me to clear out the empties afore the mrs gets hame”

“find me a florists nearby cos I’ve got some making up to do”

and then it dawned on me, will this thing, designed in California, understand the Scottish vernacular? not likely…

I’ve been sifting through an old external hard drive before I wipe it and use it for back-up purposes. 99.9% of it’s contents is utter pish but this was a pop-up card I made a few year back that didnae get the outing it deserved
