Marty McFly's hoverboard from BttF 2 is going up for auction soon

alert: @squirrel

Oh my god

I've just found out that Adafruit sell plushie 555 timer chips

I need one

My tiny car would be a one of these, it looks ridiculous

Happy Ed Balls Day everyone!

Very sad news, Pita hasn't been well so we took him up the vet, they did tests and it turns out he has cancer

He's got maybe a couple of weeks left so we're going to be giving him all the cuddles and all his favourite foods until the time comes

I keep tooting pictures and articles about really expensive watches, let's take this back to basics

This is the Casio MQ24-7BLL

It costs less than even the venerable F91-W, it's made of plastic and shows the hour, minute, and second only

Despite that, it's fucking brilliant

For less than the price of a cup of coffee you get a highly legible, accurate enough, reliable watch

And if you want celebrity endorsements, the fucking Pope wears one

Okay this is probably a little mean to point out but it's zuckerberg so I don't really feel bad about it

He had a little booster seat to sit on while giving testimony

OwO what's this?

ooooooh, this is cool, the Krayon Everywhere

The first watch which can show sunrise and sunset times anywhere in the world

It's very cool, and surprisingly only 42mm

Fizziwig didn't like wearing the cone so we made him a little vest to wear so he doesn't lick or scratch his wound

The vet thought it was brilliant

Well this is a missed opportunity, if the accent colour was gold instead of black it could have been the Iron Man watch

Coolest thing at Baselworld this year, the Urwerk AMC

It's a mechanical watch that is set, regulated, and wound by an actual honest to god atomic clock

It is hella cool

It just wouldn't be Baselworld if Rolex didn't release something awful and tacky

Rolex Rainbow Daytona in Everose Gold

New G-Shock Rangeman

GPS with MUTHAFUKIN SOLAR ASSISTED CHARGING

The solar charging doesn't keep up with the power drain of the GPS, but it'll let you use the that bit for an hour after 4 hours of charging in 50,000 lux (50% direct sunlight)

The solar does however keep all other functions running including the altimeter, barometer, and compass
