Links I Promised People
Promised various people I'd put these online, for their... enjoyment:
VegPorn - Porn For Vegetarians, By Vegetarians - all their models are vegan, and they also sell "cruelty-free" toys and stuff. Weird.

Strokey Adam
As Andy reported, we spent the evening with Adam (from Daventry... the planet Daventry...) last night. What Andy didn't mention were the photos...
For the benefit of everybody-but-Strokey (who won't be able to see them until he gets back), here they are (click for larger versions):

Paul - Prepare To Drool
Back in 1979, Atari came up with a design for a next-generation console called the "Cosmos" (you'll find it on this list of handheld games consoles. This remarkable device, planned for release in the early 80's, would have used holographic games in order to give an illusion of 3D, all in a hand-held unit.

80’s Estonian TV Commercial
Have a spare pair of underpants ready. Do not be eating anything. Be sure that you are not under the influence of any hallucinogens. Put that pint down, too. Take a deep breath. Remind yourself that you are in a safe place, and you can turn off your computer at any time. Watch this 80's …

There Goes Your Data Now…
Is it just me, or does this dialog box, which appears when using a particular part of Microsoft SQL Server 2000, present a very bad metaphor? One that says, "this arrow represents your data, and here it is being minced by some cogs". Or maybe it's just me that thinks that, and winces a little … -
Rugby Fan Celebrates By Removing Balls
A Welsh rugby fan cut off his own testicles to celebrate Wales beating England at rugby, the Daily Mirror has reported.

Firefox Finally Appeals
As you may all know, I'm a die-hard supporter of the Opera web browser, despite many of my friends now claiming that Firefox is superior. I've been following the Mozilla project for a long while (haven't we all), and on the many occasions I've tried Firefox (and it's grandparents) I've always been unimpressed. It's always …

The Subtle Art Of Beer Snobbery
Thanks to Jon for showing me The Subtle Art Of Beer Snobbery. Can't help but feel that our favourite TastyLager guzzler is trying to make a point, hmm?
Went out few a few last night with Andy R, Claire, and Bryn to welcome Strokey Adam and Emma into town (they're visiting this week - but not … -

I Don’t Think This Will Work
I received this e-mail from a co-worker this morning. I don't think it will work, so I'd like to do a test - Jon is particularly good at locking his keys in his car (he managed to do so on Saturday, while driving it, which is quite impressive), so perhaps he'd try this out for …

Yeeaaaeaaeaa-aaah!
"Yeeaaaeaaeaa-aaah! Yeee-aaah! I feel hardcore! Yeeaaaeaaeaa-aaah! Yeee-aaah! Always hardcore!"
Scooter can't help but make me feel good on a morning where I've been made to get up earlier than I'd have liked (listen here). -
Pagan Wanderer Lu
What a great gig last night. Amazing. Will say more in the morning, but suffice to say that Mr. Wanderer Lu was well on-form (apart from a slight lyrics hiccup in a new song I particularly liked): drew a great crowd too. Now... time for bed.
Pagan Wander Lu reports that this was his … -
Bryn’s Challenge - Looking Back
Well; today, Bryn's Challenge came to an end - so those of us who were participating (and didn't give up along the way) can go back to our regular amount of fast food once more. I, for one, will be enjoying a Tex Mex burger at Burger King this evening (you're all welcome to join …
