Couldn’t find a Jerry Seinfeld’o'Lantern, so had to settle for Jay Leno‘o’Lantern instead. Check out the site for a bunch more interesting pumpkin carvings.

Damn, I guess I am destined never to reach the moment of clarity after 100 cups of coffee. This site also informed me that 1,645 Penguin Mints would have the same effect. The useful part of this is that now I know that about 20 Penguin Mints are equivalent to a cup of coffee…
ahh…useless information!
Usage: ‘Google’ as verb referring to searching for information via any conduit other than Google.
Example: “I googled him on Yahoo and he seems pretty interesting.”
Our lawyers say: Bad. Very, very bad. You can only “Google” on the Google search engine. If you absolutely must use one of our competitors, please feel free to “search” on Yahoo or any other search engine.

I can see this becoming common usage pretty soon…especially now Bush uses ‘the google’ for, you know, looking at the ranch and stuff…
One of the best things about not having a TV is choosing when to watch adverts (and more importantly when not). Luckily some nice guy at Pronet has put together a collection of the very best in advertising creativity, a good time for a commercial break I think…

A pretty neat flickr tool, Wallpapr will hunt the site and dig out wallpaper-ready images. Unfortunatly you can’t limit the results only to photos which will fit perfectly on your desktop…but give it time!

took 10 days and 250 people to film. Huge quantities of paint were needed to accomplish this, which had to be delivered in 1 tonne trucks and mixed on-site by 20 people.
Not quite as good as the original Bravia ad, though it was a pretty tough challenge to best. I hear the TV is pretty good too.
Only google has the answer…which is pretty certainly a negative one. On the plus side, they have mapped mars with a wonderful psychedelic elevation map, Hendrix would be proud!
“In the future, everyone will be world-famous for 15 minutes”
Andy Worhol said this almost 40 years ago, I think he was pretty much right too…
This project called 15×15 parodies that by showing fifteen videos at the same time. Propelling fifteen people into the public eye for 15 minutes.
If there was ever something that should be put into a time-capsule and sent into space, this should be it.

To some, a collection of stones…to others, a whole way of life represented in granite.
Found a collection of entertaining number plates (mainly from the US) showing off how geeky they are…this includes the ‘31337‘ number plate which belongs to a hair-dresser(!) of all people.
Actually, in this timelapse video of a bunch of artists continually painting a wall, i’m not sure it gets time to dry…
