Clock speed? Yeah, it's about a few thousand RPM…

From the TechEBlog entry:
Alan Parekh converted an old hard drive into a fully functional clock. It uses twelve high power LEDs to display the clock hands and a custom programmed PIC16F628 microcontroller for clock operation. Unfortunately, this creation isn’t very practical as older hard drives are quite noisy.
I want one of these…

Planet Corduroy
Writing about web page http://www.marcusbrigstocke.com/tour.asp
Just got back from Marcus Brigstocke’s Planet Corduroy tour. It was hilarious, and I recommend anyone at Warwick to try at catch the show on the 15th.
He did a lot of great material from The Now Show and The Late Edition, as well as from the Comedy Store and a lot of material I didn’t recognise that he may or may not have done before that I just hadn’t seen…
He covered Kim “I’m So Ronery” Jong Il’s recent nuclear test, Daily Mail readers, his prick-of-a-next-door-neighbour, and Tigger & Jafar fighting at Disneyland Paris to name but a few.
Not bad for a man with smelly wrists (according to his warm-up act…)
I also got to shake his hand and tell him how great he is while we were waiting for the taxi at the stage door.
