Tricorders, here we come!

radiation detector

I know I don’t have a use for this, but I think this is cool, and I still want one…

The RDTX pro empowers you to detect radiation levels with your iPod or iPhone so that you can take control of your well-being. Solid-state design ensures consistently accurate gamma radiation detection. It requires no calibration and is conveniently lightweight and compact in size. 96 hour battery life allows you to use the RDTX pro for extended time periods without having to replace the battery (no battery needed when plugged into iPhone or iPod). 

The easy-to-use Meter Display indicates radiation levels as being safe, elevated or dangerous. For advanced users, the Digital Display shows detailed radiation measurements. Share your results with your friends around the globe and take control of protecting your world. 

The RDTX pro can also be used independently as a radiation alarm without being connected to an iPod or iPhone to keep you and your family safe.

My Little Top Gear – Friendship is Ambitious but Rubbish

[youtube http://www.youtube.com?v=KK4Z7QlqnX8]

This is a worryingly well-executed video mashup of the My Little Pony cartoon and Top Gear. It is deeply, deeply odd.

Jeremy’s morphed into Rarity, Hammond’s Fluttershy, James is
 Pinkie Pie and the Stig’s Twilight Sparkle. Which, coincidentally, is what they call each other in the office.

Click on to watch The Mane 6 wearing a hat, Photo Finish doing something else and Twilight Sparkle listening to the Bee Gees. You will be troubled. You have been warned.’

Tonight, on My Little Top Gear:

Rarity as Jeremy Clarkson
Fluttershy as Richard Hammond
Pinkie Pie as James May
Twilight Sparkle as The Stig
Photo Finish as herself
and the rest!

Audio is taken from Top Gear Series 16 Episode 4 – the one where they make custom motorhomes.
