Probably the dumbest and most fun purchase I've made for a long, long time... read my review of the Arrma Mojave GROM 4wd RC truck: https://gadgetoid.com/2026/04/22/arrma-mojave-grom-blx-remote-control-car-reviewed/
How it started (STS Pi) vs how it’s going (Trilobot)
ADHD brain has decided I need an Arrma Mojave Grom BLX and a bunch of 3S batteries to make use of the local pump tracks…
The limescale in our upstairs toilet (neglect by the previous owners) is so thick that my years long efforts to remove it have merely sculpted it into a tiny mountain range.
If any life has taken hold in there I’m technically toilet god no…
Absolutely knackered from standing up for … wait was it really seven hours!? 💀 at CamJam in MakeSpace Cambridge today.
Had a lot of badgeware goodness to show off though!
Sheesh the Xbox 360 Halo CE Anniversary still holds up. Whats that, a 2011 re-release of a 2001 game?
Anyone had any luck with an external 4G antenna? Looks like there are a bunch of questionable ones on Amazon that might be just the ticket to turn a spotty, near useless 4G router into something passable.
Be cool if we could have some tech that doesn’t bring out the absolute worst in everyone, as a treat?
Reading the parish council minutes of places you frequent is like unlocking a secret code. Or- in the case of our local parish- the door to 70 years of history.
Stargate SG1 has aged better than I remember from the last rewatch. Theres a certain charm to “how many different ways can we dress up British Columbia to look like an alien planet.”
Lotta slow burner episodes, though, and they’re a harder…
still getting these crypto emails like "you have 1 billion pingu waiting to go into your wallet please noot noot immediately to claim your allocation"
