Bloody pulp: It could be the ultimate DIY geek desk accessory. All you need is a good colour printer, some scissors and a little bit of folding skill, and you can fill your desk with tiny replica arcade machines. This site has got what it takes for making paper scale models of old-school favourites like Gauntlet, Pac Man, Gravitar and Defender. You can stick a Game Boy inside and lie to yourself, or leave them around and pretend you're a giant. Origimmie some at www.wayoftherodent.com/gd101/bs_paperarcade.htm.

Dud ranch: In the tradition of bad puns turned into so-so bands (Dread Zeppelin, Hayseed Dixie) here's Rodeohead, a "bluegrass" medley of your favourite angst-sponge classic hits like "The Bends," "Creep" and "Karma Police." It sounds more like that "Cotton Eye Joe" song by Rednex than actual bluegrass, but it's enough to make you laugh, or cry, if you're a real Radiohead fan. Yippie kai yai boo hoo at www.hardnphirm.com/rodeohead.html.
