It's the last weekend of November. How's yours coming along?

The Pocket-Lint team are itching and scratching their way through the last few days, but the parade of facial hair is really something to behold.

But now it's time to get creative for that final flourish.

Choose your style gentlemen.

This isn't just video of the day. This could be video of the week, month or even year.

It's not just the time put into it (440 hours!) but the attention to detail, the production values and the total dedication.

We absolutely love this and if they ever make a full-length Lego Matrix movie, we'll be there on opening night.

We all love a driving game, don't we? But no matter how much you spend on a gaming seat and steering wheel set up (and you can spend a lot of money if you want to), there's always that feeling that you're still sitting in your living room in front of your telly.

This simulator from Toyota is nothing like that.

Yes, I know it's not a game, but in the not too distant future it just might be. For now it's where Toyota test the next generation of car safety features.

But just imagine Need for Speed Shift in this little beauty.

What we love about this site is that we've all had ideas just like these. We've all sat round many a pub table and sketched winning ideas onto a beer mat and then spent the rest of the evening dreaming of how to spend the untold millions that are sure to pour in when we get our glow-in-the-dark rollerskates for cats onto the market. (No joy yet, but we're working on it...)

Anyway, Hamburger Blender lists all those amazing products that have been dreamt up and never quite put into production.

Shame really, this lot would seriously sort out the Christmas shopping round these parts.

Some people are said to be born lucky. Others make their own luck.

This lot are certainly in the first group. You'd like to think that they all went on to savour every moment and live long, productive lives. But we reckon at least some of them will have been removed from the gene pool by now.

An astonishing collection of lucky escapes that will leave you marvelling at the fickle finger of fate.

You'll want to watch this one a few times. We have.

It warms the cockles of this journalist's heart to see that there are still people out there who just want to go faster and faster, just because they can. I'm not talking about boy racers in their Citroen Saxos making a nuisance of themselves on British roads though.

Meet Bloodhound. This latest British effort to break the land speed record is all about the numbers:

135,000 horsepower.

3 engines.

3G - the forces experienced by its driver, Wing Commander Andy Green.

Oh and 1000mph.

Crikey.

But what's best about this project is that there is a point to it, beyond just saying that it's the fastest car that's ever been made. The Bloodhound project will share its technical research with over 25,000 UK schools already enrolled in its education programme. That means those numbers will have a real relevance and might just inspire the next generation of engineers.

Every child's dream has finally come true. Now you can have your very own magic wand, courtesy of Kymera.

Not surprisingly, this gadget is selling like crazy as kids big and small fall over themselves to be able to wave a wand and control everything in their homes. I say everything, but it's only a replacement for your bog standard infrared remotes. You won't be changing your irritating little brother into a ferret just yet, or levitating the neighbour's cat out of your prized flower beds.

Fingers crossed for an upgrade soon though, eh?

It was with a certain amount of trepidation that I went searching for this one. It's not normally the sort of thing I'd type into Google.

I'd like to believe that the people behind this site didn't think about the sniggers and smirks that their URL might generate, but I reckon in this day and age there was a knowing smile from all concerned when they set it up.

Anyway, if you've ventured into a pet shop in recent years you'll have seen that accessories and clothing for dogs has become big business.

My dog is never happier than when she's wearing a head to paw covering of mud (or sometimes worse) so I find it hard to believe that there's much of a market for this stuff.

But there is and this site caters for the most discerning of canine tastes.

The music business ain’t no joke. Getting by is tough and getting started on the road to stardom isn’t all plain sailing. Even if you do get noticed and start to get your music out there for people to enjoy, the chances are that anybody selling it for you will be taking the lion’s share of the proceeds.

Textatrack is a little different. It’s aimed at independent artists and fans can download tracks and pay using their mobiles. Most of the cash then goes to the artist.

It’s a great new way of getting emerging talent’s stuff out there and we’ve already found quite a few acts we really like.

Ever wondered what it would be like to be a dog? Let’s face it, your average pampered pooch doesn’t have too much to worry about. Fed, watered and entertained by their loving owners and all they have to do is occasionally wag their tail and pretend they’re glad to see you.

Now we can sample a little bit of what that might be like thanks to this innovative (and clearly very bored) gamer.

Makes moving Mario and Sonic around their new winter wonderland seem positively mundane.

Want one. Just for a day, mind you.

Seen the news lately? There’s a little bit of everything going on at the moment, don’t you think?

Political skulduggery, celebrity gossip, industrial intrigue. Keeping track is an epic undertaking.

If only there was somewhere you could go to get just the news you want, from the sources you trust.

Voila! Fingertips puts the news you want at your, er fingertips, by collating stories from the myriad news sources out there.

It makes reading the morning papers seem quite laborious once you’ve set this up.

What happens when you take several grands’ worth of state-of-the-art gaming gear, including three Xbox consoles wired together, put it in the hands of a self-confessed uber geek and pit the whole kaboodle against one the best drivers in the world behind the wheel of a £130,000 supercar?

So. You want to see what the latest trends are on Twitter. And you want to know what they are in a particular location. And you want to see the related tweets arrive in real time. But you don’t want to see tweets from, let’s say people called Derek. But you do want to see them arrive in a waterfall style animation and you do want to be able to change the searches you’re doing at any time. And as long as they refer to Lady Gaga and spaghetti, you’ll be happy.

Does this sound like you?

If you've answered 'yes' then Twitterfall is for you. Who ever you are.

Smartphones really are something aren’t they? You can leave the house with just one gadget that does it all now. And it does it all well.

But one thing that has been known to take the shine off many a smartphone's performance is the fact that opening up too many apps can just cripple them.

Nokia claims to have cracked that problem with the N900 and this little exploration seems to show it off nicely. Just how well it will work in the real world we’ll have to wait and see what the masses make of it.

And, as anybody who lives in a glass house will tell you: windows aren’t everything.

We may not know much about art (it’s been said before, after all), but we do know we like this site.

Vetika sells limited edition art, prints and photography from some of the best emerging talent around. And at prices that won’t break the bank.

The perfect Christmas present awaits here and there’s nothing quite as special as being given a piece of art – it shows that somebody has spent time and effort choosing something just for you.

The site itself looks gorgeous too.

So, here it is. The much talked about Space Chair ad from Toshiba. 

It's really quite something when you see what they had to go through to make this work and the results are sure to receive some kind of awards.

Toshiba have been running various competitions to win stuff by asking how high you think the chair has gone and where it will land. Check out their Twitter feeds to see what's what and if you're quick you might be in with a shot of taking away some new Toshiba gadgets.

The world is changing at an alarming rate. Technology is making our lives faster, better and easier to manage and most of us can’t imagine where we’d be without a mobile phone and an internet connection.

But, as always, there’s a price to pay.

Bullying isn’t about the bigger kids grabbing the little kids by the scruff of the neck and shaking them until their dinner money falls out of their pockets any more.

These days, cowards who use any means necessary to inflict anguish on their victims can subject people to prolonged campaigns of intimidation and humiliation. SMS, email, social networking, YouTube – they’re all used to devastating effect by bullies, and it’s time to do something about it.

This week is Anti-Bullying Week and this is one site that every parent should bookmark. It gives loads of great advice on spotting signs of bullying and what to do about it.

Did you know that water floats? In water? Serious question. 

It might seem daft to say that, but it's true.

In fact, water goes beyond floating - it actually bounces, as these amazing super slo-mo pictures prove.

I can't wrap my head around the maths of it all, but it's the effect that makes rain drops drop-shaped and allows insects to walk on the surface of ponds.

Regardless of the science, it's amazing to watch.

It’s official – the Eighties are back.

For those of us who had to endure them the first time, it’s something of an ordeal. Legwarmers, a perm, hoop earrings and no socks was never a good look. Especially on blokes.

But, a new generation is embracing the decade that taste forgot and Russell Athletic are fuelling the fire with this great 80s-izer.

You can make you own 80s style movies. Upload a photo and watch your new onscreen persona breakdance or jazzercise.

Hours of fun reminding your thirtysomething mates of what we all lived though the first time or educating the younger generation about just how bad it really was.

The 80s-inspired gear that Russell Athletic are selling is actually pretty cool though and does make me a bit nostalgic.

So, have any of you been drawn into conversations about the Large Hadron Collider in recent months? Is it the most ambitious and exciting scientific experiment ever? Or is it potentially the end of the world as we know it?

Those crazy eggheads in Geneva seem to be quite enthusiastic about both options, but that’s scientists for you.

But how does it all work? In this clip, one of said eggheads explains what happens using a pop-up book to help. You can buy this book soon and then ‘make your own’ hadron collider at home.

I’m guessing it’s not to scale.

Apps make life worth living don’t they? There’s 85,000 of the things available just for the iPhone and in the past few months everybody’s been jumping on the appy bandwagon.

Flickr are no exception as they launch their App Garden.

I say ‘launch’, but it’s more of a rebranding. They used to call this bit ‘services’, which, let’s face it, does tend to conjure up images of a Little Chef somewhere on the A14.

Anyway, this is the place to come for all the little bits and pieces to make your Flickr your own. There’s all kinds of tools for photographers and artists to make your images stand out from the masses.
