	Quite often, we&#39;re asked if it&#39;s possible to have a website make fart sound effects when the page is scrolled. Usually it&#39;s a request we have to pooh-pooh, but those clever chaps at <a href="http://www.theonion.com/">The Onion</a>&nbsp;recently released a little script that makes this dream a possibility.&nbsp;</p>
<p>
	&nbsp;</p>
<p>
	&nbsp;</p>
<p>
	&nbsp;</p>
<p>
	Simply...<br />
	<br />
	<br />
	<br />
	<br />
	<br />
	<br />
	<br />
	<br />
	<br />
	scroll....<br />
	<br />
	<br />
	<br />
	<br />
	<br />
	<br />
	<br />
	<br />
	<br />
	this....<br />
	<br />
	<br />
	<br />
	<br />
	<br />
	<br />
	page....<br />
	<br />
	<br />
	<br />
	<br />
	<br />
	<br />
	<br />
	<br />
	and......<br />
	<br />
	<br />
	<br />
	<br />
	<br />
	<br />
	enjoy!</p>

	There are some innovative and fun uses of Google Maps out there, but <a href="http://www.geoguessr.com/">GeoGuesser</a> is one of my very favourites. The idea is simple - you get placed somewhere on Earth in Google Streetview mode and you have to try and figure out where it is (without Googling streetnames or building signs for the best experience), then get scored based on how close you were.</p>
<p>
	I managed a score of&nbsp;10798 points with some phenomenally jammy guesses - anyone beat that?</p>

	Well here&#39;s a nifty way that could make us think twice before unsubscribing to those unwanted emails.</p>
<p>
	It would seem that offering subscribers a cash incentive to stay on a subscription list could be a winner. I say this as during my monthly inbox clear out I succumbed to the offer of potentially winning a wodge of wonga&nbsp;in exchange for my subscription loyalty.</p>
<p>
	Here&#39;s to enduring another month of barraging emails!</p>

	It&#39;s nearly summer (finally) and the sun is beginning to shine - what better way to celebrate this than to book a well earned holiday abroad!</p>
<p>
	Speaking purely as an economy class traveller, there are very few things that I look forward to during a flight, other than the knowledge that I will soon touch down on firm terrain once again. Meal trolly roulette, however, is about as exciting as a plane journey gets.</p>
<p>
	When I refer to &#39;meal trolly roulette&#39; I am of course talking about the moment when you&#39;re on a flight and spy the meal trolly slowly ambling down the plane aisle.</p>
<p>
	Now, there are two common types of meal trolly roulette:</p>
<ol>
	<li>
		<strong>Will they, won&#39;t they - </strong>The anxious wait that ensues as you sit, willing the trolly lady (or man) to "please, please have enough" of the mouthwatering meal that every other person on the whole of the aeroplane seems to be ordering.</li>
	<li>
		<strong>Mystery mealtime -</strong> Even preordering your meal usually turns into a roulette. Whilst waiting for the preordered delights to grace your tray table, you never quite know what your meal will look or taste like until the removal of the foil and the first spoonful!</li>
</ol>
<p>
	This brings me nicely onto Latvian Airline "<a href="http://www.airbaltic.com/public/index.html">Air Baltic</a>" who may just make meal trolly roulette something of a distant memory for their customers.</p>
<p>
	Combining the joys of pre-flight meal selection and appetising menus with an inflight ordering system, Air Baltic will soon allow their passengers to customise their meal trays up to 24 hours before their flight, into a tray fit for a king!</p>
<blockquote>
	<p>
		From May, passengers will be able to test out the new drag and drop ordering system and "fully customise their inflight meal tray to their liking&rdquo; <cite>Janis Vanags VP of Corporate Communications at <a href="http://www.inflightfeed.com/airbaltic04-03-2012/">Air Baltic</a>.</cite></p>
</blockquote>
<p>
	Why not be part of the &#39;Mile Dine Club&#39;* and book a flight with Air Baltic and let us know what you think of the their new swanky ordering system.</p>

	Ahh, April 1st - April Fools Day. A day where anyone who&#39;s anyone attempts to trick Joe Public with painfully unfunny jokes.</p>
<p>
	Google boarded the bandwagon today with the announcement of Google Nose (Beta, of course) which will allow you to - and the tears are rolling down my face as I roar with laughter typing it - &nbsp;search for and smell anything you want via the internet. Full details of this World class jape can be found in this video.</p>
<p>

	Other rib tickling gags unleashed today include:</p>
<ul>
	<li>
		<a href="http://blog.twitter.com/2013/03/annncng-twttr.html">Twitter announce Twttr</a> - whereby unless you pay for full access, you can only Tweet without vowels.</li>

<p>

			<title>3D printing at its finest</title>
			<link>/peptalk/3d-printing-at-its-finest/</link>
			<pubDate>Thu, 28 Mar 2013 14:30:21 +0000</pubDate>

			<description><![CDATA[<p>
	Once again we&#39;ve been sniffing around the latest gadgetry the world has to offer in search of that magical truffle.</p>
<p>
	Our quest for 3D printing services in particular proved extremely fruitful, prompting the office to discuss some of the weird and wonderful objects we&#39;d print out given the chance.&nbsp;Objects ranging from jewellery and fruit bowls to mini desktop versions of ourselves. (<a href="http://www.shapeways.com/">These chaps</a> make 3D visions come to life rather well).</p>
<p>
	Then a thought sprang to mind, &#39;<em>imagine if you could print out your own clothes</em>&#39;. Ofcourse after a swift Google search someone had already come up with this idea along with accompanying prototypes.</p>
<p>
	Clothes printers for the home, a concept thought up by <a href="http://jhharris.prosite.com/104313/973830/work/design-for-2050-clothing-printer">Josha Harris</a> solves that age old dilemma of "needing" more clothes but not having the space.</p>
<p>
	The idea. Users would feed their old unwanted, unloved clothes into a clothes machine set up in their home. The machine then uses the material to print out new carefully selected item of clothing, like that must have mini skirt or the latest leggings.</p>
<p>
	Casting aside the potential ugly nature of the machine, this gadget would be one mighty exciting toy* to play with, allowing users to keep up with the latest fashionable trends, maybe even discouraging people from mass populating the shopping centres!</p>
<p>
	Predicted to maybe become a reality in 2050, we only have to wait a meer 37 years. One thing&#39;s for sure, lets hope they take notes from other existing gadgets out there, printers, shredders and laminators, no one wants a clothes jam!</p>
<p>
	*This is not a toy</p>

	With Gangnam Style done to death, everyone has been sitting around, bored to tears, impatiently waiting for the next craze to sweep the Internet. That craze has arrived in the form of the Harlem Shake. For those in the dark, the Harlem Shake is described thusly:</p>
<blockquote>
	<p>
		" Usually, a video begins with one person (often helmeted or masked) dancing to the song alone for 15 seconds, surrounded by other people not paying attention or unaware of the dancing individual. When the bass drops, the video cuts to the entire crowd doing a crazy convulsive dance for the next 15 seconds." <cite>Some fella from Wikipedia</cite></p>
</blockquote>
<p>
	Well now your website can get involved too, thanks to&nbsp;<a href="http://hsmaker.com/">Harlem Shake For Website</a>.</p>
<p>
	Simply enter your website URL, turn the volume up to 11 and watch in amazement as your site springs into crazed life.</p>

	I do like my watches. And the more simple and stripped back the better. Here are a <a href="https://svpply.com/oscarp/collections/69946/Watches_love_them">few of my favourite on svpply.com</a></p>
<p>
	This is why I love these concepts for a Google watch that fit with the new design language that Google have successfully managed to span a multitude of services.</p>

	When I was a wee nipper nursery was a time for making loo roll animals, crafting things out of marshmallows and drawing squiggly interpretations of the world around you.</p>
<p>
	It&#39;s safe to say that the majority of these masterpieces didn&#39;t last long or eventually found a home in the bin, but what if there had been something that could have immortalised these one off pieces for years to come?!</p>
<p>
	20 years on Spanish Designer Bernat Cuni has come up with one of the most joyful ways to honour a child&#39;s drawing, turning it into a <a href="http://crayoncreatures.com/">work of art</a> by translating children&#39;s drawings (and adult drawings passable as children&#39;s) into coloured sandstone sculptures.</p>
<p>
	Similar to the crafty Mr Cuni, Wendt Tsao set up a similar company called <a href="http://www.childsown.com/">&#39;Child&#39;s Own Studio</a>&#39; but rather she turns children&#39;s drawings into soft huggable fabric fellows.</p>
<p>
	Gloriously unique both these sandstone beauties and the fabric characters will set you back a purse emptying $99+, but worth it, I think so.</p>

	We love finding photos from early last century as they give a glimpse of what some of the great cities looked like back then.</p>
<p>
	However, this video recorded by a dash cam on a fire truck in 1926 gives a whole new perspective. Especially the pavement driving.</p>
