Tinternet treats: 11:12:08

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.

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…

Today we have everything from Gizmodo’s gadget gallery, which will apparently feature the Flux Capacitor – you guessed rights kids, the one from Back to the future - right through to a food preparing robot featured on Pink Tentacle. My other two picks – Engadget’s “crap gadgets” selection which will help us avoid putting a few duds in the stocking this Christmas and last but not least, Lexy Klain’s post on the links between social media and emos – not Nemo or Elmo.. though I'm sure they are both avid Facebookers

I've decided to introduce a new idea (for me) to the blog. OK, it's not a new idea, but I come across so many things on the "tinternet" that I think are cool that I have decided to share the best of them on (an almost) daily basis. So, here's today's offerings:

1) Engadget:

Digital sales overtake CDs at Atlantic Records, music pie in general shrinks

2) Gizmodo:

3) Lost at e minor:

4) Cool and Stuff:
