“groovy mother...”

Nifty tool to find yourself pairs of movies with close finish & start times. This will make our Boxing Day cinema trip much easier to plan.

Rawk! Fantastic t-shirt commemorating my favourite line from “Lazy Sunday”. Ordered!

Great post by danah boyd about what Wikipedia is and isn’t good for — Make sure and read Jimmy Wales’s steak-knife metaphor. My equation: Full correct information > incomplete information > incorrect information > no information. Wikipedia is nowhere near perfect, but as a free resource it’s fucking amazing. And I’ve read it more than I ever touched the full Britannica collection my parents had when I was a kid.

Interesting interview about OpenSSH. The new VPN-style tunnelling stuff sounds awesome.

Google now give you some stats on your searches if you turn on Personalized Search, but the results for me were pretty dull — Turns out I rarely repeat a search.

Everyone’s been expecting this for months, but it looks like it’s official: Johnny Damon will be in pinstripes come April.

The 139-page ruling. My favourite bit starts on page 31, and explains how “Of Pandas And People” (the “textbook” that kids in Dover were supposed to read as part of their biology class) had the word “creationism” search-n-replaced to “intelligent design” after the 1987 ruling saying teaching “creationism” was unconstitutional. These fundamentalist fuckwits are shameless.

Really interesting sounding approach to warning users of untrustworthy sites — armies of webcrawlers looking for the places which load you up with spyware and spam.

So not only did SNL hire the Lonely Island dudes, they’re also taking a page out of their “distribute it online” book too. This is possibly the funniest non-Robert-Smigel-cartoon SNL clip in years.
