“groovy mother...”

Channel 4 are streaming the first episode of Graham Linehan’s new sitcom. It’s good, but not great, but then I didn’t think the first episodes of either Father Ted or Black Books were all that good, but the series turned out to be fantastic.

Playable Noughts and Crosses as a fractal. Requires Firefox 1.5

Hee! An episode of CSI:Miama had a Big Expensive Computer. The sounds generated by the computer? A ZX Spectrum loading Knight Lore.

I’ve really been enjoying this blog, tellings stories about the planned (radically different) UI for the next version of Microsoft Office. It’s been many years since I’ve been anxiously looking forward to getting my hands on a beta copy of *Office*!

Swish little graphical-history extension for Firefox. There’s a lot of polish here, including a very clever “tour” when you first use it.

Nice. I’ve been tempted by the DS for a while, so I think I’ll pick one of these up when they’re released over here.

Auntie’s 24-hour international news channel will hopefully start appearing on US TVs soon. Hooray!

Finally had a chance to play with FeedLounge. It’s a very nice interface, that’s for sure — I’d recommend this over Bloglines to new RSS users. I’m probably going to stick with self-hosted Gregarius for now, though, since it’s free and free.

Looks like Kevin Smith is heading back to the Askewniverse after “Jersey Girl” bombed. Here’s hoping it’s a worthy successor to the original.

Fear and Loathing on the streets of London.

Wow, this is genius. A big fleecy blanket with sleeves, so you can control the TV or type on your laptop without exposing your shoulders. Want!
