Something Cool We Saw On The Net: 3D Printer

2012-02-10T09:49:00.005+11:00

I was on the TED website earlier in the week and came across this - it blew our minds!

2012 may be the year of 3D printing, when this three-decade-old technology finally becomes accessible and even commonplace. Lisa Harouni gives a useful introduction to this fascinating way of making things - including intricate objects once impossible to create.

We think this is just lovely and inspirational!

Hello! My name is Lucas and I'm Brazilian. Since I arrived in Australia a lot of beautiful things happened in my life, so on the day I turned 30 I decided to celebrate in a special way, being grateful to the people of Sydney. :) Thank you so much to all my friends who helped make this happen, without you it would not have been possible. And thank you to everyone who lives in Australia, making this country such a wonderful place. A big hug, Lucas.

High fidelity in the brooksfield shop

2010-11-16T15:45:00.000+11:00

Tivoli Radios are instock at the brooksfield shop, and we’re thrilled to be working with a brand we’ve long listened to. We’ve started with two classics.

Model One - From its outward simplicity, the model one is the antithesis of today's ever more complex consumer electronics product, but these stylish lines hide a multitude of technology giving higher fidelity sound than anything anywhere near it in size or price.

iPal - If you need something that sounds terrific, is easily moved around and was designed to work with your iPod, nothing does it like the iPAL radio

have you seen Andy?
