Created by interactive media artist Mio-I-zawa (check out more icky electronic creations here), this charger ‘comes alive’ when connected to an iPhone.

David Cronenberg probably has one.

At first we were like: ‘Hey, cat. Why are you riding around on that tortoise facing forward? Ain’t you never seen the monkey riding the pig backwards?’

And then at 0.34, we were all: ‘Nice one, kitty!’

Google’s controversial and censorious Streetview – which gathered much of its Irish data in 2009 – isn’t so much a snapshot as a memorial to Ireland in slightly happier times.

There are plenty of businesses, restaurants and shops on there that no longer exist, and we’d like to honour their passing.

To do that, we’re asking you – the discerning Broadsheet consumer – to help us create a Streetview Memorial Gallery.

Send us a link to the now-extinct location or scenario you feel should be honoured, and the reason why. We’ll publish the best. Because we’re broadsheet@broadsheet.ie.

Go on. Do it for old Ireland.
