Behold Next – a ‘smart transportation system’ that envisages swarms of interlocking cuboid vehicles driving autonomously on regular roads, attaching and detaching, even while in motion. When the vehicles attach, folding doors open, allowing occupants to move freely between them.

An Ireland-based website for schools and temporary teachers.

Geoff Finan writes;

We’re an Irish startup company that’s launching a website in Ireland and England simulateously for substitute teachers. Our aim is to put schools directly in touch with teachers, which doesn’t happen at the moment. It’s kind of like a booking.com site for teachers. The site is free to use at the minute but we’re looking for some primary school teachers to sign up and feedback {link below] to us about their experience, so that we can tweak the site as needed…

Preacher comic book (top) and the new TV series starring Dominic Cooper

 

*Spoiler Alert*

I don’t know if you’re familiar with The Preacher comic book, it’s a fantastic read and they’re of course making a TV show (above), worrying thing is they cast a English actor in the role of the Irish Vampire Cassidy.
However what’s most important is that they make use of what for my money is the greatest scene in all comic books, one where [spoiler ahoy] Cassidy (the soon to be) is rescued from the Easter rising by his older brother and well you can see for yourself (top).
I’ve contacted the producers via their twitter page to fill the role and if possible I’d love your support on this, it’s one of my greatest ambitions in life to be able to knee Michael Collins in the groin, if for no other reason than I deplore violence.

FIGHT!
