ALERT! there are now DIGITAL Drugs!

Kids around the country are getting high on the internet, thanks to MP3s that induce a state of ecstasy. And it could be a gateway drug leading teens to real world narcotics.

At least that’s what Kansas News 9 is reporting about a phenomenon called I-dosing, which involves finding an online dealer who can hook you up with “digital drugs” that get you high through your headphones.

And officials are taking it seriously.

“Kids are going to flock to these sites just to see what it is about and it can lead them to other places,” Oklahoma Bureau of Narcotics and Dangerous Drugs spokesman Mark Woodward told News 9.

I-dosing involves donning headphones and listening to “music” – largely a droning noise – which the sites peddling the sounds promise will get you high. Teens are listening to such tracks as “Gates of Hades,” which is available on YouTube gratis (yes, the first one is always free). Those who want to get addicted to the “drugs” can purchase tracks that will purportedly bring about the same effects of marijuana, cocaine, opium and peyote. While street drugs rarely come with instruction manuals, potential digital drug users are advised to buy a 40-page guide so that they learn how to properly get high on MP3s.

Kansas’ Mustang Public School district isn’t taking the threat lightly, and sent out a letter to parents warning them of the new craze. The educators have gone so far as to ban iPods at school, in hopes of preventing honor students from becoming cyber-drug fiends, News 9 reports.

Here’s a video of one wholesome kid getting high – startlingly so – on an MP3:

The Wrap-Around Bike

This is what us SANGA members use to get around on those sunny weekends

British designer, Kevin Scott, 21(De Montfort University graduate), has designed a awesome bendable bicycle that can tie itself to a lamp post without the need for a lock or chain. He used a ratchet system built into the frame of the bike to allow it to wrap around a pole, enabling a single bike lock to be wrapped through both wheels and the frame. And its frame can be ratcheted tight to allow the bike to be ridden like a normal bike. Mr Scott’s bike is currently on show at the New Designers show at the Business Design Centre in Islington, north London. [image credit: Tony Kyriacou/Rex Features]

After Playing The 3OH!3 Concert Comes THE VICTORY DINNER!

So the other night i was first support for the 3oh!3 gig at Kings College Uni and my god what a crowd! there were moments when i couldn’t even hear my guitar the screams being so loud! A SUPER HUGE thanks to the awesome audience in attendance and to 3oh!3 for getting me up there!

Being the super chef that i am, i whipped up an avocado and feta cheese leaf salad with freshly cracked black pepper, a piping hot jacket potato filled with garlic and herb cream cheese with a side of venison sausages (yes thats right, i ate bambi’s mother!)

Text And Still See Where You’re Going!

Dont you just hate it when your trying to text while walking but you have to keep looking up to see where you’re going? well heres the solution!
Road SMS, an Android app from the Samsung App Store that you can lets you peer through the camera of your smartphone so you can see what’s coming up while you happily texting. The app uses the built-in camera to project an image of what’s in front of you and put it as a background on the screen while you are texting. It looks like an exclusive for Samsung App Store that came pre-installed in the Galaxy S i9000, but this being an Android app. I’m not sure if people would really use Road SMS regularly, but it is still a cool idea!

Where Tetris Blocks Come From

Have you ever wondered where Tetris blocks come from? I mean, the game itself only shows them dropping from the sky, and nothing else. Well, you’ll be happy to know that they just recycle old video game characters from Space Invaders, Pac-Man, and even Super Mario Bros.

NEW ‘Sim Card’ Works as a Phone on its own

I know i know, ive been slacking. Between doing a ton of shows and finishing off my album, ive been neglecting the blog that people have grown to really like. well no more! we’re back to posting DAILY, so fret not!

First off we have the modu! Its not exactly a sim card, more like the lightest mobile phone on earth thats the size of the average phone battery. the reason why i refer to it as a sim card however is that it has a wide range of interchangeable skins that are, in essence, ‘proper’ phones. they also have a skin thats a widescreen monitor to better view pictures and a few other gizmos at that (see video below)

Sound good? well heres the sting.

While most cases cost around £50 (yes its now in the uk), and the photo monitor costing £80. the actual modu costs a whopping £130.

it IS a cool bit of kit, but im not sure if im going to be an owner any time soon
