Freaky Nature


This is fantastic. Nature really is the most amazing, freaky thing.

Now you don't see it... now you do!

Fight For Your Rights!

Devanshu has posted the The 95 Theses of Geek Activism.

I think it's an important statement about the need for us all to make a stand against the major corporations and their plans to control what we can and can't do with our electronic data. It makes some really interesting points about privacy, open source software, file sharing, our right to use our data in the way we choose, and activism.

If we don't make a stand for what we want then we will just allow the big corporations to decide our future for us, and we all know that their priorities are profit related - and that doesn't always mean that they will act in our best interests.

It also adds to the debate about whether governments are eroding our freedom when they claim to be protecting us.

Unleash your inner geek.

I am a Mac...!



This is a spoof of the current run of Apple Mac ads by two US comedians; Christian Finnegan and Nick Kroll.

Now I'm a Mac user and I can be as guilty as any Machead of letting my obsession with the cult of the Mac run away with me, but these are pretty good and puncture the uber-cool Mac guy image that Apple are trying to put across very, very well.

But I still love my Mac.

We Used To Hang People For Less...!

A couple of weeks ago I was lucky enough to be offered a freebie trip to see England v Sri Lanka in the 20/20 match at the Rose Bowl in Southampton. All in all it was a great day: free bar, free food, great weather. The only thing that wasn't so great was the result.

One of the things arranged for the day was the opportunity to watch the England v Trinidad & Tobago World Cup match on the big screen at the ground, However my mate and I decided that, all things considered, we'd be better off watching it in the hospitality tent because (a) the view was better and (b) that's where the beers were.

So there we were watching that match and we were joined by a couple of other guests and our host for the day, a representative of one of our fine gambling houses. What really surprised me was this fine upstanding Englishman didn't want England to win because "...any England win costs us a lot of money".

I was gobsmacked. No job could ever be that important to me that I would actively want my country to lose at anything, I mean it's not as if it was his money that was on the line!

That's pretty damn close to treason, isn't it?
