Tinternet treats: 03:12:08

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……

Tinternet treats: 28:11:08

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
