Leaf
If you ever need to grab files off your home computer or set up file sharing on a friends computer, you need Leaf.
It’s a small and simple peer-to-peer app that creates simple VPN connections between machines, and its FREE. It doesn’t encrypt the stream so its not suitable for sharing sensitive information, but its a quick and easy way to share files, printers and network drives.
All you need is Windows XP or Vista and the Microsoft .NET framework. Leaf for Linux is coming soon!

Ultimate Transformer Watch
Oh my gosh Oh my gosh! The excruciating excitement I felt when I saw this picture and thought for a second I could buy one again!!!
The exact same watch my dad got me as a kid – I’ve tried to describe it to friends countless times and somehow felt like I never did it justice because no-one seemed that impressed. Well be impressed! I had a red one, Kenna the blue.
… my heart’s still pounding…
To celebrate the epic new Transformers Movie that is being released later this week and with a little help from mutual studio Transformers fans take a look at this mega 80’s transforming watch. The robot detaches and if almost by magic transforms into a free standing robot. You can buy newer versions of this watch now but not a patch on the retro version.

This is so nifty I’d love to have one! And what a perfect way to dip my toes into a Linux-based system…
Pain-free blood sugar testing for diabetics
Hong Kong scientists have invented a device to help diabetics measure their blood sugar painlessly for the first time – without pricking their fingers.
The size of a mobile phone, the instrument emits a weaker form of infrared, or near-infrared, which penetrates the skin on the finger and homes in on the bloodstream.
Out of the many components in the blood, the beam is able to identify bits of glucose through the frequency, or wavelengths, they transmit and the amount of blood sugar present would be displayed on the instrument in 10 seconds.

Protect the Western Arctic Reserve From Big Oil
The Western Arctic Reserve, also known as the National Petroleum Reserve-Alaska, is the largest tract of unprotected, relatively pristine public land in the United States. The 23.5 million-acre reserve is home to imperiled polar bears, seabirds and one of the densest populations of nesting raptors in the world. Its shores and lagoons harbor beluga whales, seals, walruses and other marine mammals. The BLM is accepting comments on a planning document that sets the stage for oil and gas leasing in the western Arctic for decades to come. Help save this national treasure by telling the BLM to protect the Western Arctic Reserve from dirty fossil fuel development »
