The track’s by Zombie Zombie, and I’ve added it to Absolute Radio Digital Media’s Halloween Spotify playlist which we’re compiling this week.

He set it free during one of the swarming scenes and it gave a man in the front row a heart attack.<br/> Then there’s that story everyone’s getting excited over at the moment, about some guy in Africa getting a pigeon to fly around with a USB stick.</p>http://emilypower.tumblr.com/post/185359913http://emilypower.tumblr.com/post/185359913Fri, 11 Sep 2009 16:10:00 +0100<a href="http://www.wired.com/gadgetlab/2009/07/robo-ethics/">Stop making psychopathic robots.</a>: <p>Robo-Ethicists Want to Revamp Asimov’s 3 Laws</p>http://emilypower.tumblr.com/post/146696767http://emilypower.tumblr.com/post/146696767Wed, 22 Jul 2009 10:39:00 +0100robots<img src="http://5.media.tumblr.com/BDYgizRDnq0obil4NGhJ052Qo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>These are really small armadillos that actually exist.

The homepage is a mash of mad colours and animations which fit really well with the quirky footwear brand’s style. Though it may not work so well from a UI perspective I do think you can allow them some creative freedom, after all the shoes aren’t built for practicality and if they were Irregular Choice wouldn’t be my favourite place to buy shoes. <a href="http://www.irregularchoice.com" target="_blank"><a href="http://www.irregularchoice.com" target="_blank">http://www.irregularchoice.com</a></a></p>http://emilypower.tumblr.com/post/143567143http://emilypower.tumblr.com/post/143567143Fri, 17 Jul 2009 17:17:00 +0100fashionweb design<object type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="400" height="300" data="http://vimeo.com/moogaloop.swf?clip_id=4347460&server=vimeo.com&fullscreen=1&show_title=1&show_byline=0&show_portrait=0&color=00ADEF"><param name="quality" value="best" /><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always" /><param name="allowfullscreen" value="true" /><param name="scale" value="showAll" /><param name="movie" value="http://vimeo.com/moogaloop.swf?clip_id=4347460&server=vimeo.com&fullscreen=1&show_title=1&show_byline=0&show_portrait=0&color=00ADEF" /><embed src="http://www.vimeo.com/moogaloop.swf?clip_id=4347460&server=www.vimeo.com&show_title=1&show_byline=0&show_portrait=0&color=00ADEF&fullscreen=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowfullscreen="true" allowscriptaccess="always" width="400" height="300"></embed></object><br/><br/><p>This did the rounds a few months ago, but it’s such a beautiful video I think it’s worth posting again here.</p>http://emilypower.tumblr.com/post/140749306http://emilypower.tumblr.com/post/140749306Mon, 13 Jul 2009 13:33:00 +0100musicvideo<a href="http://open.spotify.com/album/5K18gTgac0q6Jma5HkV1vA">Mazzy Star - So Tonight That I Might See</a>: <p>This is a good album.
