    Just picked up my new (to me) video camera. I may have to try my hand at making a film.

    This one's quite good/safe - it's electric and the saw bit is at the end of a long pole with the switch at the other end, so you physically can't get hands/face in the way while operating it. I suppose, if determined, you could cut your feet off, but you'd have to have your hands above your head to reach.

    This place in Köln is pretty good as well: MUSIC STORE professional - Home they have signs up saying no Stairway to Heaven, One Nation Army, etc. to be played on the guitars when trying them out

    Tenayo SW301 Silent NA - Thomann UK

    or this:

    Traveler Guitars Ultra Light NAT Steel - Thomann UK

    So that I can play in my hotel room without annoying the other guests too much

    It was £99.
    £99 doesn't sound 'gedgety' enough, does it?

    Not yet.

    I am thinking of one of these

    DFRobotShop Rover V2 - Arduino Compatible Tracked Robot (Autonomous Kit) - RobotShop

    I've suggested getting a robot hoover to ms doodab but it would be fairly useless with the lego all over the floor and so on. We need a robot with arms to tidy up first.
