In The Market For A Mac Mini

    13:50 on December 30, 2007 , ,

My current PC is in it’s autumn. It’s long-term memory has started clicking and it sometimes dozes off when it should be awake. I built the damn thing myself. Or rather, bribed my cousin to do it for me. Limbs were ordered seperately and surgically put together in a fashion similar to that of Frankensteins [...]

LEGO Indy Hints

    20:20 on December 29, 2007 ,

I just can’t help myself: anything Indiana Jones tickles my fancy. Now gorge in these tiny blurry pictures of LEGO sets from the movie. I spot an amphibious car, Maya ruins and … are those live skeletons?

Firefox 3 Beta 2, Portable

Google Zeitgeist 2007

    15:08 on December 17, 2007

Once again Googles year-end roundup, “Zeitgeist”, shows what’s been popular in the passing year. The lesson this year comes from young actress Vanessa Hudgens: flash yourself and skyrocket to fame. Sort of confirms what Atomic Swing said all along.

The Dark Knight Trailer

    12:26

In this case, the dark knight in question is actually Batman, as this is a sequel to 2005s quite adequate Batman Begins. Go on ahead and watch the new trailer. Great take on the Joker, but annoying that Batmans love interest was re-cast instead of re-placed.
