Novelty boat?!

blitz — Wed, 11 Jan 2012 16:02:11 +0000

What do you get when you cross a caravan with a boat? No, this isn’t a joke, it’s a serious question and the forehead-slappingly clever Sealander Schwimmcaravan (you do the translation) is the frankly unlikely punchline.

Built in Germany, this amphibious camping trailer can be towed like any other middle lane bothering caravan. But drive to a lake or any other expanse of relatively calm water and you can back it in to the wet wobbly stuff and enjoy the tranquil surroundings as you bob around, propelled by a 5hp electric motor which doubles up as a source of energy for various on-board mod cons.

IT lessons as you know them are apparently to be scrapped in September…

Universities and IT businesses have been asked to design the lessons so they are more exciting and up to date.

Would you rather learn how to make an animation rather than using Excel?

Touch screen gloves!!

blitz — Wed, 23 Nov 2011 16:08:36 +0000

Attempting to use a touchscreen device when you’re wearing gloves is a bit like trying to pick your nose wearing a balaclava. Because unlike fleshy fingers, gloves don’t conduct electricity. So what’s it to be, frozen fingers or unusable gizmos? Thanks to Firebox, neither.

SmarTouch Gloves are super soft, gloves with special conductive material woven into the thumb and index finger, so you can tap, pinch and scroll even when it’s minus whatever outside. Skin-like responsiveness? App-solutely. Staying toastie whilst fiddling with your gadgets has never been easier.
