8pm, Arts Centre, Be There Or Be Elsewhere
Contrary to my perpetually changing plans, we’re off to see Bubba Ho-Tep at the Arts Centre tonight – 8pm. If you’re in town and need a slightly more relaxed night out, come along!
National Full-Stop Shortage
Extract from a personal (online) conversation, today:
Rockmonkey: it was very boring well no not boring but i could understand law like u and a simple web site so didn’t pay attention and explained it to others after
AvaPoet: Here, have a packet of full stops, you must have run out: [……………..]
The Silence Of The RockMonkeys
Argh! Nothing’s happeneing on RockMonkey… I’m being forced to waste time by making phallic sculptures out of blu-tack.
Dudley’s Dungeon
Another fantastic Dudley’s Dungeon (comic for Nethack-lovers) today.
I have lots to do.
Good To Be In D.C.
The guys behind "This Land" have done it again – this time with "It’s Good To Be In D.C.". Requires Shockwave Flash – click here to watch!
The Onion’s “Election Day Guide”

If Architects Had To Work Like Web Designers
This blog entry amused me today… it’s true that people don’t seem to treat web engineering as a discipline that requires any kind of planning or organisation. Jon knows what I’m talking about.
Today’s “Dudley’s Dungeon”
Today’s “Dudley’s Dungeon” comic strip is absolutely fantastic. If you’re a NetHack player, you oughta read it. If you’re not a NetHack player… <sighs>
The Gender Genie
The Gender Genie is quite remarkable. Copy-paste a heap of your journal entries (and state that journal entries is what they are) and it will attempt to guess your gender, based on the language used (and partially explain it’s reasoning).
I’m apparently male, with a two-thirds certainty. Not bad.
Apathetic Journal Entry Generator
Generate apathetic journal entries automatically. This tool revolutionises blogging for those sad fucks who only uses their weblogs to say that they haven’t done much and that they haven’t had time to update, sorry (in case anybody’s reading it). I mean, really – do you actually have nothing to write about?
Primary School Permits “Conkers” Only With Protective Goggles
It’s a funny old world. A primary school in Carlisle is insisting that pupils wear industrial safety goggles while playing conkers, in order that they don’t end up with shards of horse chestnut in their eyes.
Optical Illusions
Barely blogworthy, but I found several particularly impressive optical illusions while browsing the web. Download them as a powerpoint presentation if you’re bored at work or something.
