Just Another Social Profile Really

In the spirit of openness which blogging is built on, I thought it only right that I mention the fact I’ve just signed up to Amazon & iTunes’ respective affiliate programs. This means that when I link to a song or album on Amazon or iTunes, if you then buy the CD or download the […]

So I was walking through Kings Cross earlier, with the dust from all the roadworks blowing in my eyes, and the sound of the sirens (or the bells of London as I sometimes think of them) blaring past; getting knocked & jostled, and I was compelled to write the following Tweet:

I was just looking through the stats for this site, including the search terms that drive traffic here. Amongst the standard ones (samples, names of songs etc..) I came across this rather strange one:

Now, I like to think that I haven’t been hit too badly with the ugly stick, but can’t imagine that […]

Hat-tip to Pete who spotted this on Geek Crafts (God I love the internets).
It’s the ultimate geek Valentine message:
Roses are #FF0000
Violets are #0000FF
All my base are belong to you

I just came across this rather strange little film. It’s called MUTU & is by someone going by the name of blu. It’s kind of cool, kind of creepy, and kind of “How the **** did they do that?” It’s relatively long (in terms of the ADD attention spans most of us have on the […]

Well, what if there literally was nothing to report? This video, from Pixelsurgeon on Flickr, imagines just such a day […]

Eddie Izzard once riffed on what the canteen would be like in the Death Star. Now, thanks to the wonder of Lego & YouTube, we can see what that might look like.
You’re Mr Stevens?
Who’s Mr Stevens?
He’s Head of Catering
I’m not Head of Catering, I’m Vader…
And from the same genius, Cake or Death?

A friend (the one who pointed me in the direction of Sam Sparro’s cover of  Estelle’s American Boy) described her Mac as being her lover. Whilst I’m not quite at that stage of Mac-obsessiveness (yet) I have decorated mine, just as you might a favourite pet.

So, I was wondering what anyone else’s Mac looks like. […]

The digital world is all a-Twitter this morning with the news that Alexa, the much maligned ranking system, is to change its methodology. In an announcement on its site, Alexa explains exactly what this will mean (well, almost):

We now aggregate data from multiple sources to give you a better indication of website popularity among the […]

There’s a great little feature in The Guide (the what’s on guide that comes with The Guardian on a Saturday) called All Ears. In it Michael Holden recounts weird & wonderful conversations he’s overheard. It may sound dull, but it provides a fascinating insight into Britain in the 21st Century (and there’s now an anthology […]
