Have you ever…

Wanted a watch made out of wood?!

I know I have!

You can tell the time, right, but also be one with nature. Well, after destroying a tree and processing its innards. Surely that’s more nature-friendly than extracting metal ore from rocks.

Sargasm aside, WeWood have made these gorgeous wooden watches which are made from recycled wood (so they really are friendly) and they even plant a new tree for each one purchased!

So, you can tell the time without offending Gaia.

Interestingly, these are made from date trees, which supposedly have curative properties that relieve arthritis. I have no idea whether or not that still works in watch format, but it would be interesting to find out.

Anyway, pretty watches. £89.00 (ooh) from prezzybox.com.

Also, WeWood Wood Watch is fun to say. If only they could have Edward Woodward as the face of the brand.

Afternoon mortals!

Okay, so obviously I’m excited about GTA: V, but as I’ve said before, I’m not very clued-in regarding cars. I didn’t go through the car liking stage as a teen, I don’t know which end of the wrench makes the fixing stuff happen, nor do I feel the need to peruse ‘rims’.

In fact, I didn’t even get into the Need for Speed game franchise. I watched The Fast And The Furious hoping that Riddick would make an appearance.

That all said, I can still appreciate a shiny machine, and I’m still a gamer at heart.

So for all of those whose Venn diagrams of nerdom neatly cross between cars and games, I present this awesome and huge infographic courtesy of Motors.co.uk that lets you see some real world equivalents of the gorgeous cars of GTA: V!

You’ll have to click for the full size because it’s in epic x mahoosive resolution!
