The Turtles

The Turtles crawl around and investigate the TechToys letters and each other, set to the song "10p Mix" by amplifico, courtesy of the Podsafe Music Network.

Aby, who works at Edges Art Framers in Havelock North, New Zealand, made these letters using a high-tech canvas cutter. She's clever.

I'm helping her and her friends set up a TechToys shop in the same space as her framing store and sending her stuff from Japan to sell. It just opened on Friday last week. Art, toys and technology are a fun combination!

Proud to be a Kiwi

Today New Zealand won the right to host the 2011 Rugby World Cup.

This is my simple video celebration set to the tune of the New Zealand National Anthem.

The National Anthem is used courtesy of the New Zealand Ministry for Culture and Heritage. Thank you!

Go the All Blacks!

The Robots: Energy Crisis

Three CAM-10 mini robots learn how to get along in a world of scarce resources. Set to the tune "Peace, War and Happiness" by Rory, courtesy of the Podsafe Music Network.

These "Mini Perpetual Humanoid Model" robots are designed by the developers of the Cube Robot Project.

There is a bigger version that can be controlled with a remote, but I think these little guys are cool.

This is Episode 1, so stay subscribed for Episode 2, coming to an iPod near you. Some day.

The Mothership

Watch the Lazer Ball spin to the sounds of "Podpeople" by Munk, courtesy of the Podsafe Music Network.

Will this song become the new Podcaster's anthem? You decide. Buy the song, play it or rate it at the Podsafe Music Network.

Podpeople, vloggers, podcasters, bloggers. The grassroots media revolution has only just begun.

Shibuya Apple & Bear

We visit the Apple Store in Shibuya, Tokyo and meet a friendly bear. Set to a looped sample from "Kyrie Eleison" by Fumitaka Anzai, courtesy of the Podsafe Music Network.

Shibuya is a youth city in Western Tokyo that is always packed with people and fun to visit.

An Apple Store opened there recently and that's where I bought my iPod video.
