Twitter’s popularity as THE microblogging platform of choice for millions of people all over the world is well deserved. The popular service enjoys the support of high profile personalities, which absolutely helps its reputation and street cred. I opened my Twitter account almost a year ago when I kept hearing about it from my friends. I readily became obsessed with it, constantly making “tweets” and following the accounts not only of friends but artists and personalities I like. It became readily apparent to me — using Twitter — that the popular microblogging platform is, indeed, a great marketing solution. I’ve read about Twitter now being used as one of the Read more »

Can't get enough iPhone? Get themed Notepod paper
Introducing Notepod, the notepad that looks like an iPhone or an iPod Touch. I guess it will appeal to those who still use paper and pen for some things, or perhaps for those who want to design some funky new app backdrops while on the move and without their Mac laptop and iPhone SDK. Read more »
State of the Multiverse 23
When all the characters seem jaded in attitude, it is a nice surprise that as a reader, I do not feel the same way. Ellis seems to have a handle on mercenary attitudes, twisted with displays of compassion that only become apparent later. Read more »
Ecologically sound cardboard "recession case" for iPhone — or make your own?
This must be the cheapest iPhone case available — you can pick up a pack of ten recession cases for just $7.99. If you’ve maxed out buying the iPhone 3G S and a heap of other gadgets, and have barely any money left to protect them, then the recession case claims to be the answer. Read more »
Loki: incredible robot design. I want one.
I stumbled across this amazing homemade robot called Loki (named after the Norse god of mischief) last week and had to share it with you. This four foot tall robot not only looks fantastic but seems to be highly functional, thanks to some nifty systems and programming by its creator, Dave Shinsel. Read more »
Fall 2009 Anime
With a new season comes new anime, and this fall’s anime line-up looks to have quite a few gems. Personally, I think the biggest anime of the upcoming season would have to be Inuyasha: The Final Act. Anyone who has been following the Inuyasha anime will remember how the series ended without any real conclusion. Well, now that the manga is complete (at an impressive 56 volumes over more than 10 years), the anime will finally be given a real ending. This is certainly appreciated for people like me who just don’t have the time to go get the manga and read through it (I’m a slow reader). Read more »
State of the Multiverse 22
Nation-X promises to be one of the best directions of the X-Men for a long time. It may only have been made possible by the Dark Reign, but purely on the basis of the last few issues, I think it far outshines it. Read more »
Website: Create your own 3D voxel art
I found this cool site the other day that lets you build voxel art — or in other words you can build with a range of coloured blocks on a hexagonal grid. Build your own art simply by dragging and dropping the various blocks into position. Remember that if you want things to look right, you have to place the rear and lower blocks first, unless you’re making some kind of surreal voxel art. Read more »
Cool video: iPhone 3G S transforms with internal keyboard
For anyone that would love to have a real keyboard on their iPhone 3G S, take a look at this video which could offer a solution. Read more »
WoWeekly: Make Currency Tokens Bind On Account!
I know I should be writing about Brewfest or maybe even Onyxia 3.2.2 going live but you can practically read about those things in other websites already, like MMO Champion. I haven’t personally gone on an Onyxia run with my guildmates so I really can’t share any new and fresh information. As for Brewfest, there’s really not much difference from last year, except that it’s more achievement based now and the drop rate for the Brewfest mounts have been increased significantly. What I really want to talk about is the possibility of the different tokens (Emblems of Conquest, Valor, Heroism, Triumph, Champion’s Seals and Stone Keeper’s Shard) being Bind on Read more »
