The Trash Compactor Debate

On the Implausibility of the Death Star’s Trash Compactor:

Apple - eMac

Apple have released a new computer specifically for the education market - the eMac (the "e" is for education).

NRA Takes Credit for Bush's Win

This report on the NRA’s 131st annual meeting sounds like something from The Onion.

surRealpolitik

Ah, France.

dooce.com : bootylicious since 2001

Another one bites the dust. Heather Hamilton will no longer be updating her website.

New 'Zouk

A couple of weeks ago, I had little disaster at band practice. My bouzouki took a nasty knock and the socket for the pick-up was completely bashed in.

Kisa Hitlers!

Cats that look like Hitler, past and present.

Herman Miller: Aeron Chairs

This room is starting to look like a little dot com start-up office.

Look, Ma; no wires!

I’ve been trying to get my hands on some airport cards for my Macs for quite some time now. I kept going into the local Apple supplier and pestering them.

Respec' to the Queen Mum

I’ve avoided any mention of the Queen Mother here, mostly because it doesn’t interest me in the slightest.

Can a Windows guy learn to love the Mac? You bet!

Best domain name ever

www.We Made Out in a Tree and This Old Guy Sat and Watched Us.com

Hard times

I’m flattered to be mentioned in the same sentence as Jeffrey Zeldman. Mind you, I am referred to as being "british and poetic", neither of which are quite true.

The grocer's apostrophe

While I was in town earlier today, I spotted these stickers posted up on every available surface.

The Hole In The Wall

Linux Journal has an absolutely fascinating article about an experiment known as "The Hole in The Wall".

Andyco.com : : We're Everything to Everybody

Andyco is a frighteningly good parody of a corporate website.

Hoopla

I’m completely outraged by the theft of hoopla.com. Apparently, all you need to do is send a fake fax to Network Solutions to have ownership of a domain transfered over to you.

Celebrity Sighting

I’m sick as a dog right now. I’ve got some kind of cold/flu ailment that involves a raspy throat and copious amounts of phlegm.

The Random Masturbation Synonym Generator

Twisting the sheriff and waiting for the posse to come.

The Mirror Project

Needless to say, while I was in Paris, I took the obigatory photograph in the bathroom mirror at the hotel.

I’m back from Paris.

Paris in Spring

I’m making a flying visit to Paris this weekend.

Web Designer Builds Home out of Flash

It’s funny because it’s true:

All dressed up

I had a meeting with a potential client on Wednesday. This meeting was going to be a bit more formal than what I’m normally used to.

Diminished Responsibility

Here we go again:

When I Was 12...

I’m doing my first major Flash project right now. It’s going to be a website for my band, Salter Cane.

What's That Site Running?

"We have the way out" by Unisys and Microsoft tells you, in exchange for your email address, why Unix is a bad choice for hosting your website.

Google Technology

I love Google, I really do.

Rabbit rabbit.
