“groovy mother...”

Full video of the first episode of the TV version of “This American Life”. Vaguely considering subbing up to Showtime.

So simple, it barely counts as a “hack”. If this is for real, then I’ll buy one in a heartbeat. Guess the Apple TV really *is* running OS X.

“A Schroedinbug is a bug that manifests itself apparently only after the software is used in an unusual way or seemingly at the point in time that a programmer reading the source code notices that the program should never have worked in the first place, at which point the program stops working entirely until the mysteriously now non-functioning code is repaired.” I’ve coded a few of these in my time.

Video snapshots from BarCampBoston2. Top middle is me over-excitedly and choppily-editedly raving about OpenID. See if you can spot the joke I stole from Simon Willison.

This month’s issue of Edge practically creams itself over the game which is now named “Little Big Planet”. Watching this preview video, it certainly looks like it could be fun, but it’s not convincing me I need to rush out and drop $600 on a PS3 like Edge suggested it would.

Excellent Flash strategy-ish game which cost me about 20 minutes of productivity. So far.

Last.FM confirm that, despite their claims for the last two years that “We will also provide periodic for data mining and research purposes, soon.”, they’re never going to do another Creative Commons-licensed data-dump, as the data is considered “too valuable”. This is why I’ve been scraping my real-time feed and storing it myself.

This SD Card reader fits flush in the ExpressCard slot on the Mac Book Pro. Well worth $20 to avoid having to carry round the USB thing I was using prior.

The new Google personalised homepage themes are gorgeous. Updating them based upon time and local weather is just ridiculously lovely!

“A Conversation at the Grownup Table, as Imagined at the Kids’ Table” “DAD: We just saw the PG-13 movie. It was so good. MOM: There was a big sex.”

A British online music store is being banned from purchasing cheap (legal) CDs in Hong Kong and selling them to British people cheaper than the “official” British release. How in the name of sodding fucksticks is this “copyright infringement”?!

I agree with all of them, except I never found Jim Carrey funny to begin with.

I knew of the security feature that prevents scanning/photocopying modern paper currency, but I hadn’t heard this name for it.
