Car Gliding?
Was just looking at Gareth's blog to read about his recent car trouble and noticed an interesting quirk in the way his blog is showing "tags":
It would appear that the thing Gareth writes about the most is "car gliding". Cool. I want a go. I'm kind-of reminded of the Russian WWII Antonov A-40 experiment, … -
It’s True: I’ve Got Baldness-Of-The-Chin
Dan, beardless - click for a biggy
It's true what's been implied on Dan & Alex: I am without beard. It's funny, 'cos I keep stroking my chin whenever I'm thinking about anything sufficiently hard.
For the benefit of Jon, mostly, there's a piccy to the left.
Other folks are making a bigger thing of this than … -
SmartData Wasn’t At The Royal Welsh Show This Year
Pity. From a BBC report:
A young woman's naked table-top dance in a cattle shed at the Royal Welsh Show has led to an official inquiry... One witness, who did not want to be named, said security guards rushed to the scene late on Tuesday, but had difficulty grabbing the woman because the water had … -

Coolest Personality Test I’ve Ever Seen
As I've said before, I don't just jump onto every memeing bandwagon that crosses my path, but now and then, one comes along that really impresses me. This one is a 'smart' personality test that attempts to define you by asking a series of questions... yadda yadda... but this one learns from it's mistakes, and …

Had to share that with you. Hmm... perhaps time for a new Abnib mugshot? -
Getting Your Money’s Worth On Pizza Hut Salads
I've always enjoyed free food at pizza places. On my 16th birthday, I went to Winston's Pizza in Preston for their lunchtime buffet "all you can eat" deal. We took board games. Four hours (and many, many slices of pizza and bottles of beer) later, we were finally thrown out: the manager let us have …

Comcast Customer Service
Saw a news story today that made me smile: it seems that this guy had problems with his Comcast cable modem and, after a fair amount of hassle, finally managed to get them to send an engineer around to look at it. The engineer proceeded to fall asleep on the guy's couch, which he caught …

The Infinity Machine
I read a great article this morning: The Infinity Machine, by Simon Tatham. It looks at the possibility of a hypothetical computer that is capable of processing at infinite speeds. However, unlike many other hypothetical infinity devices, it doesn't look at the theoretical implications of the project, but the practical ones (if you had a …

An Unusual Wikipedia Project
I love Wikipedia's community nature... that fact that anybody on Earth can start a project like this one...

Microsoft And Sony Agree, “Buy A Nintendo!”
Well, it seems that both Microsoft and Sony want and expect you to buy a new Nintendo Wii. Both have independently said that their console (the XBox 360 and the PlayStation 3) will be people's primary choice, but because of the cost of the other and the innovative games on the Wii, it'll be people's …

Most Annoying Habit In The World Ever
Statto's not the only one to get pissed off at some of the ways people abuse and misuse their language. I'm not perfect myself (contrary to my bedpartners' claims), but there's one form of linguistic butchery that really gets my goat.
The thing that really gets to me is the persistent and habitual misuse by some … -
“Wii!” Shout Sony
Heh. Had to happen. Sony have developed a new controller for the PS3 which sounds remarkably similar to that of the Nintendo Wii - a tilt-sensing remote control.
This picture, sent to me by Jon, says it all. -
Hackers And Communists Attack USA Using Linux
Shelley the Republican writes about what she's learned about Linux. Not excessively geeky. Well worth reading, just for the WTF-value!

Dark Side Active Listening
Disclaimer: we don't endorse any of this.
Following my post about active listening a few weeks back, JTA and I have been discussing the potential of what we're calling Dark Side Active Listening - that is; the use (misuse?) of the skills taught by practitioners of active listening for the purpose of upsetting, infuriating, disorienting, or …
