Hello Thursday, I’m afraid the weather has let you down….I’m normally more excited by your presence, but, well……meh. To today’s treats. First up, it’s the bracelet that every man needs to own. Gizmodo brings us a survival bracelet made of parachute cord, perfect for those moments when we need to rappel down the, er….garden fence after a night out. Second, news from Lifehacker (via TechCrunch) that Chrome will eventually leave beta – better fix the picture editing problems with Blogger then…. Third, Kotaku give a nod to the legend of gaming that is Doom, which turns 15 years old. Last but not least is a solid gold Vertu phone for barons or something. It’s my leaving drinks tonight, so I imagine Friday isn’t going to have its usual appeal either. Anyone based in Sydney that wants to pop down, it’s at the Firehouse in North Sydney

Wednesday, aka hump, aka the point in the week at which we stop hating the week. What have we got today then? First up, news from Gizmodo that Google now has the entire back catalogue of Popular Science and Popular Mechanics magazines available for our perusing. Second, Skype has launched its 2.5 Beta for Windows mobile with improved stability and quality, according to Lifehacker it’s a free service when using the WiFi function on your phone. Third is a bizarre cuckoo clock-inspired loudspeaker clock featured on Engadget that actually pops out it’s loudspeaker a la Cuckoo clock style. Last, probably the best news ever for arcade fans (even better than finding an old-school SEGA GT rally with bucket seats) is that Guitar Hero is coming to an arcade near you. Enjoy your Wednesday - I am in a fairly chipper mood because I spent last night watching Indiana Jones on my mate Greg's 42 inch, 1080p Sony Bravia - nice.

I spent most of yesterday clearing out the remaining crap from my old house before we officially moved in with our friends in fabulous Clovelly, as such there were no treats for you yesterday. But today, Tuesday’s treats were a bit hard to come by, I have to admit. First up we have a gaming helmet that lets you experience blows to the head while playing WWE or some other boxing/wrestling related game. Second is news that Vodafone is allowing customers to recharge their phones through PayPal – very handy. Third, news that PlayStation Home is a mere 9 days away – close your mouth, your drooling over your keyboard. Finally, there’s no stopping those guys and gals from Nintendo as they announce 800,000 Wiis sold in the US last week. Exactly one more week left in Australia before I head back to Europe…more posts to come on that.

Hello Friday! Where have you been all week…. Right, what have we got then? First up is a rather nifty piece of work done by the guys at Cake PR in London. Ever been to London, seen the lions in Trafalgar Square? Well, imagined if they actually chatted back to you…. Second Engadget’s second go at the Nokia 97, iPhone killer, really?? Third is Lifeshacker letting us know about the new Opensource t-shirts, I’ll probably get one…. Last, Kotaku brings us new of a new product from Tap Tap in the form of imusic. That’s it, enjoy your Friday…be kind to your neighbour…unlike that French stiff that lives behind us

Thursday….the only day that’s better than you is Friday…and Saturday…well maybe Sunday as well…but only the morning part. Today’s picks are mostly quirky little inventions and gadgets, but all worthy of the Tinternet treats section. First up is a series of paper water bottles from design company Brandimage, Lost at e minor report that they are completely recyclable and can be re-used a few times as well. Second, we have another bookcase, this time from REK and I have to say that it looks more useful that the one we covered yesterday. Third, Lifehacker reports that Windows 7 beta is apparently due in January 2009. I was speaking to a few pals about this last night and as you can imagine, there’s a fair bit of excitement building. Lastly and perhaps my favourite, is an inflatable outdoor projection screen brought to us by bb gadgets. Have fun, happy Thursday and I hope like me you are looking forward to a few beers after work…no, wait, I have the dentist…damn it!

Ah Wednesday, you’re like that chipper old bloke on the train that says hello, so polite and good mannered. Anyway, today’s treats are an assortment of the weird and wonderful, the useful and the downright stupid! First up, Pink Tentacle has some brilliant pictures of customised trains in Japan, featuring everything from Manga designs to sports teams. Second up is Momspit – now this is brilliant, it’s a wash that requires no water whatsoever, letting you wash yourself on the go, just like your mom did with a bit of spit and an old hanky. Third, more news on Google’s domination of every last bit of information ever as they buy 20 million archived newspaper pages. Last, probably the most useless thing I have ever seen, but quirky non-the-less, it’s the Platzhalter bookshelf that actually splits and moves apart to let you store more books….just buy another bookshelf – IKEA people……

A bit late with this today, but I think I’ve just made it for the morning. Today’s offerings will appeal to the big kid in all of us and the serious sports fan and beer drinker. So, first up we have the evolution of the Nurf atomizer gun from bb gadgets, perhaps you’ll learn how to make your own. Second, we have the ezGear Wii Music pack featuring a veritable smorgasbord of instruments for the serious Wii Musician…no didgeridoo though. Third, Engadget brings probably the best home bar invention the world has ever seen – a beer dispenser with an inbuilt TV, perfect for State of Origin or the FA CUP. Last is news from Lifehacker that Joost is now streaming TV, movies and music videos to your iphone…I guess I’ll have to get an iphone then. Enjoy and happy Tuesday.

Ah Monday, the least loved day of the week, the only joy felt on a Monday is when it’s over. Though, this morning when I was on my way to work the train driver was very chatty, pepping us all up with a few comments at every stop – thanks chirpy train driver, you got my Monday off to a good start.

Well, what do we have for today? First up some cool Lost t-shirts brought to you by the guys at Cool and Stuff. Second is a massive geek fest, but also a rather well edited piece of UGC, showing us who would win between Star Trek and Star Wars, courtesy of Gizmodo. The third link is something close to my heart as I am currently moving – declutter your home with the suitcase test – the idea is that if you only had a suitcase, what would you take with you? Lastly some rather retro costumes for everyones favourite hero, Sackboy. Enjoy….and say something nice to a friend today, after all, it’s Monday…
