Hamster powered mobile phones

Now that’s a good idea:

A young chap attached a generator to his hamster’s wheel and now it charges his mobile phone for him. The strange thing is that he got a ‘C’ for GCSE science… And people say that GCSEs are getting easier…

Fancy supporting some artists?

http://www.pinholecamp.org/donate/

Pinholecamp is a group of artists who go out to the Burning Man festival each year and take some beautiful images with a room-sized pinhole camera. Like pretty much everything at the festival, they do this for free and for the spirit of the thing; however, it does cost them a lot of money, so if you fancy buying an interesting print for US$20 and supporting a great group of people then visit their site and participate in keeping a great thing going. I’ve just sent them some money because I think that they’re a very worthy cause.

I can’t afford to get the to Burning Man this year. I’ve been twice in the past and I will go again in the future. There’s nothing else like it on earth, and it starts (officially) tomorrow.
