I’ve turned into a coffee addict :/
So after nearly 21 years I’ve started hitting the caffeine! My house mate is a Brewster and apparently the coffee was pretty good so i started drinking it to see what all the fuss was about.
To date i have had about 8 coffees now, and 3 types. Yesterday i had 4 shots within the hour, i was feeling quite tired and it helped.
- 1st – House mates is like $45/kilo stuff and i rate the best out of the three obviously. He’s pretty good at doing the art as well
- 2nd – Gloria Jeans, was not to bad. Not as creamy and smooth as 1st.
- 3rd – McDonalds, of which i’ve had the most of, but tastes a bit like dirt. If you drink it enough you get used to the dirty flavour though ha! When i also acknowledge I’ve had one during the day i get dis-owned by my house mate because apparently it tastes so bad, so there you go.
So what coffee do you like and where’s your favourite places to go?

FREE MEAL FOR PEDDLING
Crowne Plaza Copenhagen Towers has installed two electricity-producing bicycles which are connected to the hotel’s main electricity supply. Guests who pedal hard enough not only get a dose of environmental feel-goodness, but can also score a complimentary meal. h/t Giz mag
FOLDABLE KEYBOARD

ROBOT FLOOR CLEANERS
Robot floor cleaners designed to free us from the drudgery of keeping the house clean are nothing new. Robotic vacuum cleaners, such as the Roomba, Electrolux Trilobite and Neato XV-11, have already found a place patrolling the carpet in many homes, and now the Mint Automatic Floor Cleaner that was first announced at CES in January is nearly ready to report for duty on hard surface floors. h/t gizmag
FPS Jacket
A surgeon, who was trying to develop a system for remotely diagnosing prisoners, designed the FPS Vest. It has four pockets in the front, four in the back, and connects to a small USB-powered air compressor. Different pockets will activate to varying degrees, depending on what’s happening to you in the game. The FPS can apparently simulate hits from a pistol or an Uzi, along with the sensations of explosions, stabbings, rocket hits, and falling (one would assume they actually mean “landing”.) h/t gizmag
Police come out from hiding on long weekends
On the Anzac long weekend i observed the police doing a great job. Wherever you go driving/walking you see them everywhere! I drove right round the coast from Gosford to Copa and on every drive i would pass at least one copper. I also got RBT’d for the first time in a year and heard the freeways were crawling with them.
Normally on my weekends i w
ould rarely see one. Now my question is, why only on a long weekend? More demerit points, but no increase in fines, so its not like they get extra profit from pulling one person over than they usually would, just that there’s more of them round, so they would catch more people.
Why cant they do this all year round? If everyday someone went for a drive and they saw a policemen i think speeding would be reduced massively and thus less accidents to! So where do these extra policemen come from on double demerit points????
Once more, i am coming home from uni and in front of me is a red P plater going 30km/h over his speed limit.
Hmmmm.
