Memrem is a new memo service that enables users to store private memos that they can then access from any machine. It’s a really useful service, especially if you spend a lot of time divided between different computers. It also has a mobile version which is extremely useful, it enables me to store things like shopping lists from my desktop and view it on my phone, and vice-versa.

Zeigeist is another Swedish electronic and their recent debut album 'The Jade Motel' is one of those rare flawless albums. There isn’t a single weak track on the album, each track is amazing. The image this band has is also pretty incredible.

This song is called 'The Lake':

The Tough Alliance is a Swedish electronic band that I've been listening to virtually non stop for the last few months. Their music is interesting and refreshing, they have quite a unique sound, there isn't really anything I can compare it to.
You'll just have to see for yourself, this is a brilliant song called Silly Crimes:

Bill Hicks is the greatest comedian of all time, and here's why:

This is the uncut rap from Step Brothers, possibly the funniest film of 2008. Enjoy.

A London based restaurant called Inamo has revolutionised the way its customers order food. They have replaced their traditional laminated menus with digital projectors that project interactive menus onto the tables. The projection displays images of the available meals and the customers use touch to navigate through the menu and order their food. They can even change the ambiance of their table by changing the coloured pattern displayed and also play games and check out local services.

Japan is soon to be hosting a conference which aims to set a production timetable for a space elevator. The elevator will use carbon nanotube technology which is a material capable of withstanding the extreme forces that will be put on the elevator. The benefits of reaching space via an elevator verses launching a rocket are huge, it could be up to 100 times cheaper than using a space shuttle. The Space Elevator Association's director says that a technology similar to the bullet train's could be used to build the elevators cars, as the nanotubes can be used to conduct electricity.

The T6 is a new concept car from Volkswagen; it's essentially an office on wheels. It comprises of two pods that are connected by a central hinge, one pod for the driver and the other for the passengers. The wheels are fixed to the outside to maximise the space on the inside and it also features round sliding doors.
It's an interesting concept but you're unlikely to see it on the road any time soon.

Two thirds of the world's population are said to have watched the Olympics opening ceremony and clearly an immense amount of work went into it with the synchronisation and coordination of thousands of people. But there was also a considerable amount of technology that went into it and Chinese news sources now have a breakdown of what was employed.

• A technical monitoring system was used to keep track of over 18,000 performers with identification codes.
• The fireworks used a digital ignition control system that coordinated blasts in over 30 locations across Beijing.
• The LED screen at the centre of the ground, which unrolled to show a huge scroll detailing China's 5,000 year civilization, measured 147 meters by 22 meters wide and contained 44,000 LEDs.
• The material used for the paper on the painting scroll was produced by the country?s aerospace sector.

Six Degrees of Separation is the theory that everyone on the planet is connected to every other person on the planet through up to six people. This theory, up until recently, has been very hard to prove but now thanks to a study by Microsoft it seems likely that the theory is accurate. Microsoft studied this by looking up the addresses of 30 billion instant messages sent during June 2006. Two people were considered to be linked if they sent each other a message and an average of 6.6 steps were necessary to connect all users in the database. 78% were connectable in seven links or less.

Man Babies is a bizarre blog where pictures of fathers with their babies have their heads switched around. It's a very simple idea but at the same time fascinating and creepy.

The Curious Case of Benjamin Button is a new film coming out at Christmas starring Brad Pitt. The film is centred around the character of Benjamin Button who is aging backwards, he is born an old man at the beginning of the film and gradually gets younger.

Neon Neon is a collaboration between Gruff Rhys, from Super Furry Animals, and Boom Bip. They have come together to create an album called Stainless Style which is a loose concept album based on the life of John De Lorean.
Many of the songs on the album have a very retro 80s feel about them but at the same time seem modern and cutting edge.
Overall it's a very interesting album and I highly recommend giving it a listen.
