Nancy Banks-Smith: classic TV reviews

A bunch of snippets of The Guardian’s fabulous TV reviewer, as she celebrates 40 years at the paper. Her description of the 1981 Eurovision Song Contest made me do two genuine LOLs.

Eye On Springfield

“Eye On Springfield is a retrospective of Simpsons hilarity spanning from seasons 1 to 9, when it was still funny.” My favourite new Tumblog.

Axe Cop

Comic strip with an epic script by a five-year-old. Fab.

A business school grilling for Curt Schilling?

Curt, we’ll always love you for “the bloody sock” and 2004. Always.

But you? Are a fucking idiot with all the business sense of my right nut.

Chromium Blog: 40,000 More Extensions!

Hadn’t noticed this — Google Chrome has built-in support for Greasemonkey user scripts. Chrome has been my default browser for a while, so it’s great to have my favourite tweaks back.

Luma Loop

I bought one of these, and wore it for the first time yesterday at the Dog Show. It was fabulous. Kept my camera out of the way, but quick to pull up and use. Would definitely recommend.

Golden Gate Kennel Club Dog Show: English Bulldog

Joy & I were quite taken by the English bulldogs at the show. I suspect that when we're ready for a new dog, we might take on a rescue bulldog.

San Francisco's Answer to Westboro Baptist Church

Made me sad that I didn’t know they were in town until they were already here. I’d have loved to have protested outside Twitter with a “God Hates Failwhales” sign.

stevenf.com - I need to talk to you about computers.

One of the best things I’ve read following the iPad launch.

Brilliant clip of TV news clichés in action.
