“groovy mother...”

Drag’n’drop the buttons in your Windows taskbar, in case you, like me, are the obsessive type who gets quite out-of-whack when your mail client isn’t the left-most button.

“Like Flickr, without the photos”. Make lists of words. Pointless and lovely.

The latest beta of Parallels Desktop for OS X allows you to seamlessly display windows from, erm, Windows on your OSX desktop. This is very cool stuff. Makes me wish I had an Intel Mac to try it out on.

Tsk. Somerville parking restrictions extended a month due to “warmer weather”. It’s things like this that give global warming a bad name.

I’ve decided that the thing missing most from my life is a wi-fi enabled smart rabbit. Gonna get a Nabaztag/tag when it gets released later this month.

Splendid Missile-Command-esque game. Just the thing to play when you’re procastinatingly putting-off writing your annual self-evaluation form at work.

“The Wiimote just slipped right out of my hand and broke my TV.”

Run NMap from a remote host. Useful for testing your local firewall.

Young at Heart is a choral group of senior citizens who cover rock songs. This rendition of Fix You is just chilling.

The Big Lebowski, remade with Miis and Wii Bowling.

Graph of your odds of dying by various causes.

Anatomy of a pump’n’dump scam. Or: Why you’re getting so much more spam this month.

Threadless are sufficiently large now to get to design the actual fabric of their T-shirts. “Imagine a tee that is less boxy than a Fruit of the Loom, but not as skinny as an American Apparel. Imagine a tee whose fabric is softer than American Apparel but not as thin.” I think I just came.

HOWTO rip the audio from 5.1-mix music DVDs and play it back on a Squeezebox. I’ve got an increasing number of surround music releases, so this’ll come in handy.

“How late was your train? [ ] Hours. [ ] Days [ ] In my day, all this was fields”

I’ve no freaking idea what this website is, but by god, the jingle is catchy.

Hands getting sweaty from too much Wii-playing? Here’s your solution!

People think I exaggerate about how dull my hometown of Tillicoultry is. So, for you doubters, here’s a “news”paper headline from last year. The top story? Joss Stone had stopped at a pub in Tillicoultry for a wee. Hold. The. Front. Page.

Visualizing the structure of a song, based on the pattern of words used in the lyrics.

Sit through three “webcasts” on “exciting” “new” Microsoft “technology”, and get a free legitimate license for Windows Vista and/or Office 2007.

Another bubblicious startup — Email photos and letters to “people who don’t have a computer” *cough*old people*cough*, and have them print out on their hooked-up-to-the-phoneline HP inkjet printer. I can’t imagine that the old-person-without-a-computer market is going to stay large much longer, but it’s an interesting idea.

Make your Wii like a bit more NESy! (I just ordered a Union Jack skin for my Wii, so I can play Super Monkey Ball for Queen And Country)

Good bloody grief. Damn that 2.4Ghz band, and all its illness-causing ways. Hope the schools also removed all cordless telephones and, erm, microwave ovens. Won’t somebody think of the children?!
