iPad 2 Steering Wheel Shocker!

The whole iPad thing has never really gripped me much, i love Apple stuff (i own an iMac, Macbook, Apple TV. the aforementioned Power Mac and an iPod Touch) but i've never really got the iPad..it just doesnt really fit with my usage thing....
This video however made me kind of want one...if only it streamed the output wirelessly through Airplay to the AppleTV instead of via a clunky cable hanging out of its arse..(2001 called, they want their wired controller back!!!)

Fake Plastic Trees (clouds)

The idea of artificial clouds seems rather to sci-fi for my liking...

Apparently for the 2022 World Cup in Qatar mad scientists are developing floating sunshades, these helium filled floating tea trays will be used to block the sun from cooking people inside the stadiums. Now im not saying that a Skynet esq revolt is on the cards but i know id be slightly uneasy knowing a flying tea tray filled with helium hovering over a stadium is just asking for trouble.

Obligatory Cat Picture

Havent posted a picture of my cat for a few weeks.....

The Mac....

Well here are some enthralling pictures of my newly acquired Power Mac G4 from yesteryear....
Someone might find these interesting..or maybe arousing if your into that kind of thing..
I love the way the case opens with just one yank and then displays the computers innards as though they are being served up on your parents best dinner plate...classic .....

I got me a pointless computer!

I for some reason purchased an old Apple G4 Digital Audio Power Mac off of Ebay, it cost me £50 which i thought for some reason was a bargin..

I cant actually think of any reason why i need this computer or for what purpose i will use it for, but it looks sooo cool and i remember when they were new back in 2001 they cost £1000+...

Its got an 800mhz G4 Quicksilver processor...that in itself sounds stupidly cool...

Its due to be delivered this week...i cant wait...just need to get a monitor for it...

Any suggestions as to what i could use it for...please feel free to comment...

Garden time..

Last weekend i think it was, we planted approx 150+ bulbs in the garden and also a load of seeds for some kind of plant mix...ohhh and some potatoes.

Here are the post planting pictures..i shall obviously take some more when said bulbs and seeds have grown into some sort of triffid beasts....

A cat!

We have got a cat!!... she's cool....called Pebbles...was from a rescue center...





Hopefully she will do many funny "internet-cat" esq. things which i can film and get some kind of notoriety for...
