How The Sound of the TARDIS was Created

All I want for Christmas is a... TARDIS PC!!

Well blow me down, if this isn't the neatest PC I've seen in ages....  A nice, neat and eminently attractive TARDIS PC which actually has decent hardware specs.  They even have the option to buy one without Windows and you have to admire how they've incorporated a Blue Ray Burner. 

I can dream.

Watery Blurred Blue Wallpaper

From the "It's So Crazy it Just Might Work" Dept...

It's summer so here come the mozzies (as if they ever really left...).  If you're a prime target of the little buggers here's something to relieve the symptoms: the Therapik Bug Bite Relieving Gadget.  It's a small hand held wand you use to zap bites to make them stop itching.  Amazingly, it works.

“Once in a Civilization” Comet Comming Next Year

The newly discovered comet C/2012 S1 (ISON) appears to be heading on a trajectory that could make for one of the most spectacular night-sky events in living memory.

Astronomers predict that the comet will pass just 1.16 million miles from the Sun as it swings around its perihelion, or closest approach.  The close approach will melt enormous amounts of the comet’s ice, releasing dust and gas and forming what should be a magnificent tail.

After it loops around the Sun and forms this tail, the comet should then pass relatively close to Earth—not near enough to cause any worry, but close enough to put on a great show.
