Medway Celebrates the Olympics

The Olympics have kicked in at 9pm tonight! London starts the opening ceremony of the Olympic games 2012 in style. What an amazing show!
These are the Medway photos of the celebrations at the Rochester Castle grounds and Rochester High Street.

Thousands flock to the streets of Rochester to run the Medway Mile.































As you can see, half of the super hero characters were there! We had the amazing Red Lycra Man, Lion Man, Batman, Banana Man. Even Captain Jack Sparrow ran amongst the participants! Now, that's what I call fun!!

I also bumped into the Torch Bearer! Nice chap.


Finally the entertainment moved to the Castle grounds and the stilt act made an appearance. Really charming people.










I really hope you like these photos. If you were there leave me a comment and let me know what your thoughts are, regarding the celebrations. If you were not there let me know what you think of the photos.
I had lots of fun. After all, it's not everyday that the Olympic Games comes to Britain.

Charge Your iPhone with Fire [video]


Is there a camp stove more amazing than this? The BioLite CampStove and USB Charger can cook your meals and charge your gadgets with the renewable resource of sticks gathered from the forest floor. The BioLite uses rocket stove-ish technology to produce efficient heat with a combustion chamber and focused, insulated chimney. By burning just a handful of sticks, the BioLite CampStove can boil water and charge mobile devices without the need for conventional fuel or a connection to the grid. By using a transduction process, BioLite generates electricity from the heat as the fire burns. This is great for camping, but a wonderful tool for emergencies. If you lose power or access to cooking fuel, a handful of sticks can cook you a meal while charging your mobile phone.

Having tinkered with the rocket stove concept in our workshop, we admire what BioLite has accomplished here. Buying a BioLite CampStove helps fund BioLite’s other product, the HomeStove, which is a charitable system that allows people to cook meals safely and sustainably in the third world. Over half of the world cooks over open flames, and the resulting smoke causes an estimated 2,000,000 deaths per year. Both of these products, the HomeStove and the CampStove, could certainly do a lot of good for the world. We want one of each! CampStove is now in production and is available for pre-order @
