Now anyone that knows about a surf board takes up a huge amount of space, so if you haven’t got any excess room in your home then what do you do?

Well some clever designer has come up with the collapsible surf board, which obviously solves the problem of space and at the same time creates another, like ok you have put your surf board together at the beach, but there is a bit missing! Or what happens if the surf decides to collapse just when you hit that big wave, Wipe Out.

Here’s a good one on how to build your own in-car PC! Although I wouldn’t recommended as people woud probably rob you as quickly as you install it.

As a marine electrician I’ve installed a few desktops in yachts to avoid the above mentioned problems so when I bought a used Grand Caravan in July and it had this empty space between the front seats I thought, why not? The first task was to measure the distance between the seats and see if anyone made a case that could fit there.

Yey, it’s valentines day! Well, if you ever want to get some extra love from your loved one, you can build a flashing heart like I did last year for my girlfriend.

and yes, try to stay away from the V-day virus today.

Instructions here.

There is an idea that by producing a sophisticated piece of cloth, you will be able to charge up all of your gadgets by somehow connecting to it, this is not static electricity, which you get when rubbing your shoes on the carpet, this is something completely different.

The cloth would be made up with nanogenerators built into the fabric, there would be millions of these tiny generators and every time the fabric is stretched or pulled there will be a small electric charge produced.

Its early days, but this could be promising for the future.

It’s about time that a mobile phone maker got their act together and finally designed a phone that could take an AAA battery even if it is only in an emergency, this would save so much hassle with batteries going flat etc.

The Philips Xenium NRG phone is already in production and will be able to use these normal or rechargeable batteries which can be picked up for a small amount of cash and no hassle.

The phone is due to be launched sometime in April 2008.
