A folksy confession

I am on the record, as an intemperate youth, suggesting that Folk Music is of the devil. I recant.

In my dotage I am really enjoying alt.country, folk, bluegrass and other music with banjos.

There’s a slight language warning on this clip – well, it’s not slight. It says a bad word starting with f many times. The rest of the album is free of cringeworthy cursing.

I give you. Mumford and Sons.

I’ve also really been enjoying Fionn Regan. But his “Put a Penny in the Slot” video has embedding disabled. So you’ll have to go to YouTube to watch it.

Tetris chair looks tessellatingly comfortable

Moving furniture is a pain. Wouldn’t life be grand if all furniture was Tetris shaped?

Here’s a chair to bring your moving dream one step closer to reality.

Chemical Cupcakes

Amy pointed out recently that “Chemical Free” is a stupid claim to make for anything of substance – but food particularly.

She had a point.

These cupcakes however, completely embrace the inner chemical

Mmm. I’ll take

How to paint your next car

Pacman cars are great for running over blue ghosts. Just make sure you’ve used the right fuel.

And another one.

Mr Potato Head and his many potato friends

If you’ve got some ink, some potatoes, and too much time on your hands you too could create an army of potato people. If you don’t have any of those things there’s always this gallery

How to not die

I would like to live a long healthy life. Here is a list of activities I should avoid – that you should too – if you also want to live long lives.

  1. Drive the biggest 4WD you can find.
  2. Don’t ride a quad bike.
  3. Don’t cycle or run on public roads.
  4. Don’t get a pilot’s license as a hobby.
  5. Avoid groups of intoxicated men.

There are more. What are your tips for avoiding an untimely death?

Christmas Wishlist: Sportscar Segway

This one’s from Flickr – and is (fictionally or otherwise) scheduled for release in 2035 with a pricetag of $500,000.

Start saving.

At only 1077 pounds with the new S260 supercharged engine, the 0-60 time is only 2.02 seconds. The steering wheel, brakes and gas pedal have been replaced with a “T” handle. Lotus has upped the Track Pack to handle up to 3G turns. With a top speed of 188 miles per hour, you’ll zip past the other traffic, trains and some small planes on the way to work.

Christmas Wishlist: A hovercraft

You can buy me this for $14,000. You’d have to really love me. Which you do. Right?

It’s a slightly more awesome Segway.

Hovercrafts are not just very unique and unusual gifts, they are actually available. They only require gasoline and will transport you at approximately 15 mph. Operate them over concrete, asphalt, grass or shallow wet areas, but you cannot hover over water, sand, stones or dirt-filled areas due to the bottomside vacuum.

About St. Eutychus

Eutychus was a young man who fell to his death because the Apostle Paul preached for too long (Acts 20). I've decided to canonise Eutychus and make him the patron saint of my dalliances around the Internet.
