Roddler – The Hot Rod Pram That Makes You Wanna Make a Baby

by Jay Garrett on December 22, 2009

Yet another one of my friends is about to become a dad.

Now, I’d like to think that if I became a parent I’d be more about what’s best for the kid rather than getting a trendy pushchair, or all-terrain buggy…….

But then I saw this on Kid Kustom USA’s site – it almost made me want to procreate!

Meet the Roddler.

Designed with obvious hot rod-styling cues with “high-end materials” this is a must have for any new father surely?

It has chrome wheels, fin-shaped fenders and white wall tyres, colour-coded brakes, and chrome grips for pity’s sake!

There’s also an ultrasuede seat insert for comfort and carbon vinyl leatherette for the seat and top for added durability. See – it is practical ;)

It costs $2000 but for an extra $500 you can get a model that transforms into a trike when your child is old enough to propel themselves :)

So – it will just carry on being useful.

What is a Petabyte? How Many Pizzas = 1PB?

July 8, 2009 Click to read more →

Well, I know 1PB is pretty large – thanks to Mozy they’ve made it ’simple’.
Scary – but simple. Have a look.

So, if it’s comparable to 13.3 years of HDTV content that’s roughly 58,292 movies, which means an equal number of large pizzas.
Therefore 1PB = approximately 52 tonnes of pepperoni pizza!
For those more office based [...]

DJ Hero Gets Superstar UK Price

DJ’s generally have it slightly easier than bands.
Their gear is easier to break down, they don’t have to split their fee with 2, 3, 15 (if you’re in Dexy’s Midnight Runners) other people and ultimately most of the music they play has already been written and recorded by somebody else.
This easy run may explain Activision’s [...]
