“groovy mother...”

Yet another reason to switch to the unambiguous land of Atom 1.0. At least then, if a moronic client screws up, you can be an asshole and point them to the spec.

Microsoft finally confess to the existence of their “Zune” player. Nothing much announced yet; just a teaser site with a man stroking a bunny.

Python package for modelling and graphing networks. Looks like it’ll be easier to work with than GraphViz.

Top music video (blatantly/lovingly ripped off from “Beyond the Valley of the Dolls”) from quality new Spector-esque polka-dotted powerpop group.

NBC’s commissioned six episodes of the sitcom “Nobody’s Watching”, after the rejected pilot garnered good reviews on YouTube.

Excellent cartoon. From October 2001, but still as true today, sadly.

It drives me nuts when I’m trying to find an address, but the house numbers are barely visible. I’ve just ordered one of these for our house.

“Our position is simple: DRM doesn?t add any value for the artist, label (who are selling DRM-free music every day ? the Compact Disc), or consumer, the only people it adds value to are the technology companies who are interested in locking consumers to a particular technology platform.” Hells yeah!

Some excellently common sense from the judiciary. “Dismissing this case at the outset would sacrifice liberty for no apparent enhancement of security.” Go donate the EFF some cash now!

coComment adds features that actually make it, you know, _useful_. It now tracks all comments left after you or a variety of blogging packages, and the Firefox extension means you don’t have to remember to hit the bookmarklet each time.

The Year 2038 bug happens one-billion seconds early, due to a kludgy workaround in AOLServer.

Another great John Hodgman “Resident Expert” segment.

Bill Simmons, American sportswriter, goes through an in-depth investigation to decide upon an English Premier League to support this season. A great read.

Pretend to be an evil villain whilst hooking up your digital camera.

Adobe’s Lightroom photo-processing beta is now available for Windows in addition to OSX.

Warning. May contain swearing.

Consumerist get their paws on the scripts & tools used by AOL to try to keep their users from cancelling. “If you stop and think about it, every Member that calls in to cancel their account is a hot lead. Most other sales jobs require you to create your own leads, but in the Retention Queue the leads come to you!” Wankers.

I’ve recorded you all a message using Odeo’s other new app from last week.

Splendid indie line-up for an album benefiting Save The Children.

Sysinternals (makers of frankly necessary tools that should have been included in Windows) has been purchased by MS. Unlike every other “purchased by MS” story, this one isn’t on April 1st. ‘wget —mirror’ is your friend.

Amassed stats and assorted other geekery based upon your Flickr usage.

Improved console for Python. Includes, be still my beating heart, tab-completion for Python commands.

About to do a bunch of graphical data analysis. This seems to be the best graphic package for Python.

Who gives a toss about yer Mercury arty wankfest? *This* is the music prize that matters. Some great choons in here.

Trailer for the upcoming movie from Christopher Nolan (director of Momento and Insomnia). Looks good to me!

Summary of a really interesting paper: Can you give potential CompSci students a test that will weed out those that will Just Never Get It?
