Brand new bag, I mean wallet

August 20th, 2008 4 Comments Tags:   ·

After the unspeakable damage America did to my wallet, I thought I’d design and build a new one. First stop, some grand A gaffer tape from here. Then, after the giddy waiting on the doormat for the tape to arrive (check out the pimp fluorescent orange reel above) , I set about the artistry that [...]

Definitely too many photos

So, we’re back in Blighty. Just spent that last 4 days tagging and titling all our photos on Flickr. I’m not going to tell you how many photos are on there, but from that 4 day time frame, you might presume there’s a lot; and you would be right. Please go have a peek. We’ve [...]

So, Hallybones got an invite to the Playstation Home Beta and we didn’t. He sent us a video of him enjoying his empty Home Apartment. It was late, we were tired and very jet lagged (we’re back in the UK now), so I built a quick Snorri Cam out [...]

After driving through 17 states, and interviewing 15 people, it was time to let off some steam. And how better to do that than spend a few nights in Las Vegas and firing off 5 different types of machine gun? We also saw a comedy pet show featuring a dog that sits on a 10 [...]

Salvation!

Meet Leonard Knight. He’s the proud creator of Salvation Mountain; just outside Niland, California. A hard man to tie down as he lives in the foothills of his hand made mountain with no phone. Leonard was no-where to be seen when we arrived in the 116 degrees heat, so we poked around for a bit [...]

The Thing?

Yesterday we witnessed ‘The Thing?’ just ouside of Pheonix, we can’t tell you exactly what it is, because that would make it a something rather than a thing. We met up with a guy called Jerry Bone who runs the place wearing a white cowboy hat (which is rock solid and apparently how “decent sixty [...]
