I can't remember when I first stumbled upon this blog, but the title appealed to me. Then this week I discover he's the guy partially responsible for the Global Frequency, an unaired pilot which crept onto P2P networks last year some time and created something of a buzz.Then I read his little post about NeoCnut Alan Dershowitz and being a bartender and liked him even more. Top stuff.

There's a shop in Alabama which sells all the stuff that everyday people leave behind. In their luggage. So it's not run by wombles. But there's some great random stuff there. And it's the size of a city block apparently. There are a lot of careless people out there...

A great little film. The simplicity and 'swedish understatedness' belies the complexity that it must have required. I like the living room scene best. www.kostrfilm.com

On my current list of great things are :TinyMCESimple and outrageously friendly WYSIWYG text editor tool.TiddlyWikiOne-Page-Wiki tool using Javascript and CSS. It's been extended, improved and helped in a great many ways, and really is the easiest way to get a Wiki up and running.

Well it's been a pretty long while since I posted here. Slackness, freelance webmonkeying, the summer, Warcraft and other nonsense purely to blame, and nothing to do with the fact that I forgot my blogger log-in at all.So to make up for the absence, have apicture of a Cat Who Looks Like Hitler.Talking of freelance webmonkeying, I've been working for a lovely bunch of folks for the first part of

This is the Yin to the previous picture's Yang. I'm sure you agree. It also, like its counterpart is completely and utterly Wrong. Parents, don't do this to your children. Just like leg warmers, or Heroin; it may seem a good idea at the time but you will live to regret the photographic evidence of your misdeeds in the future. If not you, then your children. And their children's children. And

World of Warcraft has indeed swallowed up what vestigial remains of a life this geek was clingling to. I have been swallowed by The Maelstrom, and am now Covered in Bees. It really is a rather addictive game, it must be said.In light of the emerging theme of this blog, here's an amusingly attired (if slightly "Wrong") goat.

It's nice to see that while meeting out destruction and chaos, France's rioting yoof have maintained their sense of humour. Next they'll be recreating carhenge.

I guess there is. But either way. SamCam is now up and running on an intermittent basis...I'm really not sure this is a good idea ;-)Anyone fancy a cuppa?

That blind panic you get when your PC suffers a dramatic and unidentified unrecoverable crash? I had that this weekend. A cold feeling in the pit of your stomach when you realise you won't be able to fix this with the tools to hand, and that simply reseating connectors and power cycling is not enough to revive your PC.So I consoled myself with spending the entire weekend fixing my dad's laptop

Well, we've just had the hottest October 27th in London since records began, but I get a distinct feeling that I'll be spending a long dark winter glued to the PC. Not only have I just bought Black and White 2, but I've also just shelled out for World of Warcraft which could potentially eat more time than GTA:SA did!My capable guides into the WoW universe are to be Mark, Bill, Chris and Fiona.

An interesting short Essay at wired.com has appeared, following the recent spate of media reports about the failure of Wikipedia.Web 2.0 Cracks Start to ShowIt does focus rather heavily on Wikipedia, and fails to draw any conclusive opinion other than "well it could all fall apart through scams and exploits" but it's a reasonable piece.

Off to see the Wallace & Gromit movie tonight. I'm excited. Sooo excited. Almost unnaturally so. What is it about Aardman's claymation which sends me so west?I guess it's just the sense memory of morph reverberating from my past and bringing my inner kid out. Yet it doesn't kick off The Gallery Theme in my head.Rotten Tomatoes | IMDb | Guardian Unlimited | Slate

My initial explanation of "What Web 2.0 is" might have missed the mark by being a little too concise, not containing enough buzz-words, or maybe not enough references to Soylent Green. Either way, The Register have a poll, to let you work out for yourself exactly what Web 2.0 might be.Welcome to the perpetual Beta...Endnote: Anyone reading this might opine that all I do is recycle Op-Ed from

As fast as I leap on a bandwagon, someone points out that the wheels are made of cheese. Building web applications on the presentation layer was bound to be spotted as a house of cards sooner or later. Trust El Reg to do it so eloquently. And for me to mix my metaphors...Spotting a bubble this early should permit us to treat it without the hype which came along with the digital tulipomania of the

So I've paddled in the shallows of the potentially quite deep pool of fun that is the new offering from Lionhead. I'll always be comparing this to the previous and original game which pretty much rewrote the book on god games.The creature's thoughts are now more visible, thanks to a little thought bubble above it when it decides to do stuff autonomously.

It's a bit like the thunderdome, only with more tangents.I've been steered into starting this blog thanks to my recent download of the Flock Developer Preview. Let's see what this Web 2.0 malarkey is all about then eh?Well; I know what it's about... Social browsing & a reactive rather than passive browser.
