I don’t know about you but I know that my mum has a whole cupboard full of old photos and negatives from the age before digital cameras. She always wants to make them digital but the cost of doing so at the photo shop (and the effort of taking it down there) is enough to […]
Designed for all those horrible people who want to mess with those of us a little bit terrified of the insect famous for never freaking dying (even though they’re actually rather harmless), the Roachbot is a remote controlled cockroach from Japan.
