Welcome

A quick welcome message for all visitors to lazy laces courtesy of this useful little text to audio converter. I settled on this when the speech was too high quality - even at the lowest setting - to recreate the "Do you want to play a game?" phrase from War Games.

Terror-Spotters

The train spotter is seen as the latest threat to national security - a meeting of US security officials in Washington in March reportedly classified "people sitting on train platforms who appear to be monitoring the timing of arrivals and departures" as suspicious behaviour - at some point today I'm going to stop laughing. Hopefully.

RGB

Warning strobe effects in use! If you're not epiletic now you soon will be *gibber* and all through the power of red, green and blue.

I was just thinking it was about time I added a comments system to the site when this arrived for me ;o) Make your own ransom notes - just for fun! - courtesy of contact sheet [found at coolio's].

Button Maker

Need some buttons for your blog but you lack any artisitic ability or you're just plain lazy? Then try this easy to use button generator which produces a rather nice effect. I can see an explosion of button usage just around the corner...

Snowcrash Cloud

A while back I saw the Snowcrash Netsurfer which I thought was pretty cool - but I think I like this even more. Cloud is a portable inflatable room for meetings, meditating, whatever you like. You could pop down the park for work meetings - awsome.

Tom seems to think my mini needs some mini bling. Tempting.

USB Pen Drive

128Mb of storage in a pen. Keyrings, watches & pens - where will this craze of fitting storage into stuff end? USB storage in a mobile phone might be good - most people carry them everywhere - but what I'm more interested in is the strange end of the market. USB storage pants? 256Mb in your hat? I guess for retro cool a USB floppy disk would be good (stores about 1.44Mb) [via gizmodo].

Lazylace Towers

The immense pride (relief?) of finally becoming a home owner drew me round the flat producing perhaps the dullest photolog entry ever. It's all mine though. That's the main thing.
