This has to be the geekiest thing I’ve ever written about. I’m a geek by any standard, but even this is a bit over the edge for me. But, the geek in me thinks it is so uber-cool that I can’t resist writing about it. Get ready to meet the gadget that will trump all other gadgets.

What’s all the fuss about? His ‘secret knock detecting door lock’. How does it work? I would have loved one of these for my play house in the backyard when I was six.

Social Media Today | 2010: Markets Will Do The Unusual. At the end of every year it seems everyone has a prediction of what is to come next year.

As the first week of the Copenhagen climate change talks comes to a close, it’s a good time to think about exactly why the negotiations matter so much to Africa. So with help from our friends at WWF we’ve put together a series of personal testimonies showing how climate change is already affecting the continent today.
From Ghana, Tanzania, Uganda and Kenya the story is a similar one. Climate change is not a crisis of developing countries’ making, yet the impacts of global warming are already hitting the world’s poorest people hardest. Augustine Yelfaanibe from Ghana reports how rainfall has become less and less reliable making it harder for farmers to plan the planting of crops, whilst Nelly Damaris Chepkoskei from Kenya explains how changes in climate have led to an increase in cases of malaria: “..one of the effects of the higher temperatures is the increased number of mosquitoes resulting in increased incidence of malaria in this district.
