“groovy mother...”

The most fun you’ll have with a cat and a bow this weekend. (Unless you actually have a cat and a bow. In which case, that’ll probably be more fun)

Java applet that emulates an x86 PC. Kind of interesting, but what’s really cool? They’re demoing it with lots of classic PC games — Prince of Persia, Commander Keen, Lemmings… If they had “Jones in the Fast Lane”, it’d be perfect!

Tag your tunes by mood, then shuffle away for the right mix. Would be interesting to see if there’s a consistent way to share moods across users…

“I got into a car accident yesterday and I just took off. It didn’t look too bad. The guy was making a big deal out of it, but come on - dogs don’t live forever.”

Snippet from Al Gore’s new book, covering the rottenness of the current circle-jerk between politicians and the media. Prediction: The book will be roundly dismissed by politicians and the media.

If this doesn’t keep the A’s in Oakland, I don’t know what will. Pisses all over nonviolent direct action as a protest tactic.

Virtual drumming with a wiimote. The video gives a good idea how it works.

Tribute to billg’s programming triumph.

Good notes on the current state-of-the-art in the arms race between spammers and anti-spam software, trying to skip around OCRing images.

Simple OS X app which does smart screen-inverting to make late-night computing more bearable.

“Oh, Hi; I’m here from the internet.”

Browser which makes it easier to retrace your steps as you delve through Wikipedia.

O’Reilly’s “Ignite” geek night is coming to Cambridge this month. I’m going to have to think of a topic to present, because the “20 slides at 15 seconds per slide” format sounds like a fun challenge.

I’d seen this advertised in Private Eye, but this is the first time I’d looked at the website. An alarm clock that wakes you up gently with one of 50 recordings by Stephen Fry.

Last night’s Scientology documentary from the BBC. I watched this last night, and it’s really quite jaw-dropping. I’m surprised the scientologists have been kicking up such a fuss about it, because it’s only raised public awareness of what a bunch of controlling manipulative fruitcakes they are.

Heh. The idea of this made me chuckle. I’m sure there are days I’d fall for it.

Oh, good lord. Trying to cram more context (or, if you prefer, noise) into the 140 characters allowed in a Twitter post.
