Yeah, very reasonable! He can keep the remote though, or give it to someone else, the empeg itself is cool enough for me!

If, Instead of digging a channel tunnel, we had put a dam across with a motorway and railway on top, the tidal surge would provide enough electricity for the whole of Europe, without CO2 emissions ( if's not one of mine, it's an article that I read abour 30 years ago by a Frenchman whose name I've forgotten).
The thing that always worries me about tidal power is the environmental impact, it could be absolutely huge, and it'll affect ecosystems that we know bugger all about.

I'm totally in for one of these with a smoke lens, or blue or green if smoke isn't one of the choices.

Wait a minute, what is THAT? That's the coolest thing I've seen since... since I took my empeg out of my dash. What is this keychain made of? Will it hold up from every-day tossing about? I've been looking for a keychain since... geez, 2001. Put me down for three, starting with one stock blue. Question is, can he do "lit buttons"?! Haha, I'd love one with a green lens with green buttons/knob and one with amber lens with amber buttons/knob. That would make my millennium! PM me for payment and shipping requirements. Mach: That geocache travel bug site is great! It's hysterical how people move the thing around, taking it home for their husband, make it join a "tour group", and call it by name. How cute! Quote:

tahir, you are my hero! I really need to return to reading your forum.

The one I bougt a couple years ago was made of wax and didn't last more than a day of being in my pocket. It got squished.
I'm not dissing the thing. It has an incredible amount of detail for something so small and is truly amazing. Rob's kid is definitely talented. Just don't leave it in your pocket.

Well, you forgot - you were supposed to COOK it in the oven to make it go hard!!!  The ones I am going to get him to make (now got 5 people ordering) will be hardened.

Those were the wax ones. I've still got mine somewhere.
The one above and Nath's are made from Sculpey/Fimo IIRC (gets baked in the oven).

I wonder if they could be further plastic coated to make them super durable; resisting cracking, chipping, shattering, etc. Any way to dip these in some liquid plastic which would dry evenly and clear? I want these to be my keychain for as long as I own my empegs.

I've been surprised at the interest in this - OK, he's charging E5 per model with a mini remote control included. There is postage on top of that, but it'll probably be about E1.50 or so.

This little bug crossed my mind again today. How can we get him on a plane to Cambridge in September? At least get him into the hands of one of the American attendees. Or is that cheating?

I wouldn't say it's cheating, but the bug should have a goal, like around the world maybe?

It does: "Current GOAL: I am an Empeg MP3 player. I would like to go to San Francisco and then back to my creators in Cambridge, England."
Maybe we should make sure it gets back while there are still some of those creators left? Then we can make up another goal for it, like follow Hugo to Apple, the wrong way round or something?

If it helps, I will be in San Francisco the weekend of July 22nd. I won't be able to go on a hunt for it, but I could take it with me to Cambridge.

Elaine and I will probably be traveling all over the California coast (LA to Russian River, or more probably, other way around) in July, and will of course be in Cambridge as well...
