This is my father. Call somebody you love today.
This is my father. He's dragging a tyre in the photo because he's in training to do a sponsored walk to the North Pole, to raise money for a charity called TransAid.
Apparently, tying a tyre to your waist and then dragging it around accurately simulates the effort required to drag a sled with all … -
This is what I would do with a hundred or so Dyson Bladeless Fans, too.

TIL that in 2010(!), Prince described the Internet as "...like MTV. At one time MTV was hip and suddenly it became outdated."
...
Unlike most other rock stars, he had banned YouTube and iTunes from using any of his music and had even closed down his own official website.

Urban birds sing at higher pitch than rural ones to help song carry further, research shows.
Birds that sing their songs at a higher pitch help them travel further in built-up areas.

The men who really invented the GUI
The IBM PC is not alone in having a significant anniversary this year. It is 25 years since Steve Jobs and Steve Wozniac started flogging Apple 1 circuit boards from a Palo Alto garage. But it was not until 1984 that the first Apple Mac made its appearance, with its revolutionary mouse-driven graphical user … -
Idea: mobile app that uses camera and shifts colour-balances to make colours "visible"
I'm not colourblind, and I'm not really a mobile developer, so maybe there's something I've missed, but I've got an idea for an app and I thought I'd run it by you guys to see if there's something I've missed.
