LINE Pay adds bill pay, banks add QR code pay & TDK adds voice to a plant! Plus, toilet pictogram standards (Finally!) and how to scare your primary schoolers with an old TV. All this, and a ride on the sushi conveyor belt, on this week’s #ZettaiGeekDayo!

As always, if you have any comments, questions, concerns, topics or you just wanna chat, I’d love to hear from you. Please tweet them at me on Twitter @kayleedayo with the hashtag #ZettaiGeekDayo so I can find them.
