With the Australian Federal election coming up this weekend, there may be a few people out there struggling to figure out who to vote for.

Fortunately, someone has done the hard work for us, and put together these little voting cards to assist with your voting decision.

Here's a cool and/or interesting idea. Heat sensitive wallpaper. No idea if it's real or not, although I'm guessing the concept would be possible, HyperColor T-Shirts anyone?

The potential applications for this sort of thing are limitless... well maybe not limitless, but definitely interesting.

I've often wondered how they do product testing for somethings. Like that lipstick that stays on no matter what, and then there is lip gloss...

Here's a interesting video demonstrating how lip gloss might be tested.

Normally testing on animals is a no no. But in this case, I think I'm willing to look the other way.

Secret War is a Marvel mini-series that, as the blurb says, "reveals the darkest chapter in Marvel Universe history!". The Secret War trade paperback combines entire Secret War run (Secret War #1-5), plus From the Files of Nick Fury.

I was talking to some friends at lunch time and we inadvertently stumbled across a money making idea we had not previously identified. Selling wine! Firstly I should point out that I know next to nothing about wine, and I'm not a big wine drinker, but what peaked my interest was the idea of buying wine and then cellaring it for a couple of years, then selling it for more than I paid for it.

The two things stopping me at this stage are, lack of funds, as well as the fact that I don't have access to a cellar. If I could overcome these things it might be worth a try, maybe...

Well I missed this whole sh!t storm that blew up between Today Tonight and Chasers War on Everything, which is a shame because the newspaper reports actually made it sound quite interesting.

Holy geez. I logged into my WidgetBucks account to check the stats and nearly fell off my chair when I saw the dollar figure next to my earnings!

They have just started listing referral fees for October. In the three weeks of October I just nudged past the $400 mark! This is by far the most I've made online at one time. I'm reluctant to add it on to my November earnings until I receive the actual payout, which is scheduled for 45 days from the end of October, but it's hard for me not to get excited when I see figures like the screenshot below!
