Waterproof Notebook

Lightbulb moment in the shower? Now you can put it to paper! It’s worth stopping to consider the ideas theories and world-beating strategies that might’ve been lost in the shower. Who knows what lost classic song John Lennon could have hummed whilst sudding himself and then forgotten? What literary masterpiece tumbled out of Shakespeare’s head because he was busy with the loofah? If only they’d had the Waterproof Notebook on hand to scribble down their precious musings! Thankfully this problem won’t affect you if you get your (sopping wet) hands on one yourself. By some feat of Jacobean witchcraft (probably) it’s perfectly possible for you to write your innermost thoughts on this shower-safe little notepad. Or just a note to remind yourself to buy some loo roll. Either way your days of bathroom-based memory-loss are numbered. Next time you’re struck by genius in the bath just jot it down on this little lifesaver.

Top Gear: My Dad Had One of Those

Posted by Notcot on Jun 21, 2012 in Cult Film
Top Gear: My Dad Had One of Those

Good old Dad and his good old Dad’s car. As solid and dependable as the man himself if a little less balding Dad’s car was almost a member of the family whisking you to exciting days out or just to visit boring relatives in distant parts of the country to the chant of ‘are we nearly there yet?’ Like the man behind the wheel Dad’s car made you feel safe and secure because it was as reassuring and sensible as he was. Maybe in an idle moment Dad dreamt of driving something rakish and fast just like in idle moments he dreamt that your Mum was Twiggy but the demands of family life meant soft tops hard suspension and anything even remotely sporty were off the cards. Even anything less than four doors would have been wildly hedonistic. But although the family car may not have been the very essence of rock ‘n’ roll Dad was proud of it. Spanning the 1950s to the ’80s this is a celebration of the heyday of the Dad car. From much loved family workhorses like the Ford Cortina and Vauxhall Viva to the rakish excitement and playground kudos of the Rover 3500 and Citroen CX all the great Dad cars are here. Reflecting a time before people carriers and lifestyle off roaders when the nearest thing to an airbag was hiding behind your fat brother this is a celebration of simple honest cars that were as flawed and as loveable as your Dad himself.

Spy Video Watch

Posted by Notcot on May 15, 2012 in Gadgets
Spy Video Watch

It doesn’t take long does it? One moment Bond is wielding some achingly cool gadget and before you know it it’s on the IWOOT website. Q’s furious of course. The Spy Video Watch is literally indistinguishable from a normal (and actually quite swanky) watch but the crucial difference is that you can craftily record video and take photos thanks to the almost-invisible camera hidden in the number ‘2’ of the watch face. In fact all the features on this genius little watch are extremely well-hidden. There’s a microphone and an LED indicator on there somewhere too but they’re sufficiently unnoticeable for you to get on with the very important business of mucking about. The video quality is pretty amazing for such a tiny camera and you’ll have no-end of fun trying to catch people up to no good (if that’s what you like doing). The stills are excellent too so any Top Secret documents you might happen upon won’t go un-snapped (though it’s just as handy if you see Neville from accounts picking his nose and need some blackmail material… the choice is yours). The rechargeable lithium-ion battery is good for about 2 hours continuous sleuthing (with a full charge of 2-3 hours). It’s got a whopping 2GB capacity as well so you don’t have to worry about clogging it up with pictures of your upside-down face and getting your vids and pics off the watch and onto your computer is easy. Just plug the included USB cable into a port and treat it in the same way you would any other digital camera – your recordings will then be ready to upload to YouTube or send to whichever client you’re doing some private work for. Because it’s such a convincing watch as well (it tells the time and everything!) you’ll be able to snap and film all you like – and not a soul will know you’re doing it.

Hands Free
The Contour HD revolutionized the way people shoot and share video by creating the first wearable HD video camera. Its secret is the low profile design mated to the patented TRail system that makes it easy to slide and lock to your body, equipment, or vehicle.

The camera, at only 5.2 ounces is the smallest and lightest combination of handsfree video and GPS in the world, like it’s little brother, the Contour GPS practically disappears while wearing it. The dual laser alignment helps you line up your shot assuring you that you don’t miss a single captivating moment no matter where it’s placed.

HD

The Contour GPS captures beautiful 1080p video. It utilizes a 135º wide-angle lens that delivers a true high quality image that captures all the action with minimal distortion and no fish-eye. It records Full HD in all its glory.

We provide several different camera settings so that you can get the shot that best fits your activity. Choose between 3 resolutions, 2 frame rates, and a still photo mode so that you can get the best shot.

  • Full HD 1080p (1920 x1080 @ 30 fps) to capture those awesome moments in the highest resolution available.
  • Tall HD 960p (1280 x 960 @ 30fps) for those sports like surfing that are better suited to a taller image.
  • Action HD 720p (1280 x 720 @ 60 fps) when frame rate is more important than resolution. The perfect setting to capture the fastest action. It reduces blur and rolling shutter effect.
  • Contour 720p (1280 x 720 @30 fps). When space on your card is at a premium and you need to record that last epic adventure. This setting takes it easy on your memory.
  • Still Photo. When you want to freeze frame the action, the photo mode is your perfect shot. You can pick from 6 rates (1, 2, 5, 10, 30, or 60 sec) to best capture that moment.

Audio

Developed by a real rocket scientist, the built-in omni-directional microphone captures the rich sounds of the ride while keeping the wind noise to a minimum. Using AAC Audio Compression the front facing microphone assures you that you will hear every whisper or scream.

Storage

The compact and lightweight design principle was carried throughout every detail of the Contour GPS. The locking back door keeps the internal Micro SD card safe so that it can capture hours of HD video content. When expanded up to 32 GB, it will record over 8 hours of HD content on one card.

Software

Resident Evil [UMD Mini for PSP] [2002]

Posted by Notcot on Nov 28, 2010 in Cult Film

Given that Resident Evil is a Paul Anderson movie based on a computer game which was itself highly derivative (especially of George A Romero and James Cameron films), it’s probably unfair to complain that it hasn’t got an original idea or moment in its entire running time. In the early 1980s, Italian schlock films such as Zombie Flesh Eaters and Zombie Creeping Flesh tried to cram in as many moments restaged from American originals as possible, strung together by silly characters wandering between monster attacks. This is a much-improved, edited, photographed and directed version of the same gambit.

As amnesiac Milla Jovovich remembers amazing kung fu skills and anti-globalist Eric Mabius mutters about evil corporations, a gang of clichéd soldiers without a distinguishing feature between them (except for Michelle Rodriguez as a secondary tough chick) are trapped in an underground scientific compound at the mercy of a tyrannical computer–which manifests as a smug little-girl-o-gram–fending off flesh-eating zombies (though gore fans will be disappointed by the film’s need to stay within the limits of the 15 certificate) and CGI mutants, not to mention the ever-popular zombie dogs. It’s tolerably action-packed, but zips past its borrowings (Aliens, Cube, Deep Blue Sea) without adding anything that future schlock pictures will want to imitate. — Kim Newman
