Sony experiences Y2Kesque bug in 2010

Mon, 1 Mar 2010 15:10:20 GMT

Went out and bought a couple of games this morning, stuck them in the drive and blammo. Sounds like Sony might be hoping it fixes itself tomorrow.

Amusing

Very good. And true. And astonishing. And absurd. And it shows that people will believe just about anything. Which is at once comic and tragic.

Christ, here's some public spirited behaviour!

Elton John

Philosophers and theologians pack up your bags. Time to take up welding. For Elton John has spoken Sir Elton John has claimed Jesus was a "super-intelligent gay man" I suspect he wasn't pressed on the evidence he has to support this astounding discovery, which is a shame because I'm struggling to take it at face value. Either way, top marks on the topical Eddie the Eagle impression...

Very amusing. As a reddittor pointed out though... I find it astonishing that his true "impulse" reaction was to first quickly take off his shirt

French Skiiers Disaster

Just about the best attempt at a downhill ski race ever by Marion Rolland. Wonderful.

Charlie Brooker on eBooks

Tue, 16 Feb 2010 20:22:34 GMT

Charlie Brooker is increasingly on my radar these days - not in a sexual manner of course, but rather in my enjoyment of his journalistic output. A few highlights from his review "..and it can store about 1,500 titles; approximately 1,499 more than I could comfortably carry otherwise" "OK, so right now they'll judge you simply for using an ebook – because you will look like a showoff early-adopter techno-nob if you use one..." "It can also read books aloud, which is great if, like me, you've spent years wondering how the great works of literature might sound if recited by a depressed robot."

A little mix I threw together in Ableton. Few places in there it could be improved, but overall I'm quite pleased with it. Hope it brings a soupcon of enjoyment.

Mandelbrot Set

The Mandelbrot Set is amazing! It doesn't seem possible that this simple formula z_n+1 = z_n² + c can generate this

Annoying optical illusion.

Alan Partridge Film!!

Mon, 8 Feb 2010 15:09:28 GMT

Gadzooks. "The comedian Steve Coogan has confirmed that a decision is due sometime this month on whether a big-screen outing for his best-known creation, Alan Partridge, will be given the green light."

7 stone pet rodent

Sun, 7 Feb 2010 11:07:18 GMT

Jesus Christ - this is terrifying. "The capybara, Hydrochoerus Hydrochaeris, is a semi-aquatic rodent of South America. It weighs about a hundred pounds" There is something instinctively frightening about animals that are bigger than they should be. Insects more than mammals, but still...

Ooh, sorry. My mistake. It was religious nutters after all.

Awesome Juggling...

Always wanted to know how to add a new post but daredn't ask?

Screencast-o-matic

Thu, 4 Feb 2010 07:10:00 GMT

This looks like a great bit of software for creating quick videos (screencasts) of on-screen activity. Insufficient for a professional presentation, but otherwise very good on first impressions.
