3 CommentsThe American network CBS is remarkably with the times when it comes to putting TV shows on their website for free ad-supported. Alas, the online service is available only to Americans. That is, unless you use Firefox armed with FoxyProxy configured to view websites through a free US proxy (here’s a list of free proxies). I’m honestly unsure as to the legality, but it seems like a waste to let Star Trek, The Twilight Zone, Twin Peaks and MacGyver go unwatched by most of the world.
84 CommentsIt’s been a while since I happily flamed and subsequently ditched iTunes in favor of Floola for adding stuff to my otherwise beloved iPod Shuffle 2G. Alas, Floola — while able to add stuff to the iPod — is neither able to update it nor not crash intermittently. So I decided to try iTunes one last time. I shouldn’t have, because I was reminded how much iTunes on Windows absolutely fucking sucks.

While the noodle-slinging panda Po dreams of becoming a Kung Fu master, an evil tiger escapes from a prison. The escape urges the summoning of the next Dragon Warrior to protect the valley. Accidentally (or was it?), the panda ends up the nominee.
Kung Fu Panda is gorgeous and hilarious. It’s deliciously produced and impressively crafted from the very start. It’s eminently watchable and highly recommendable.
That earns you four huge hearts. To earn more, there need be levels of peril and emotional payoff, perhaps even something unexpected.

Hancock is a drunken, superpowered non-hero who feels a calling to help people but never manages to do so without wreaking his own havoc. Eventually he meets Ray, an idealistic PR guy who makes it his mission to turn around Hancocks image.
Hancock is an extremely odd movie. It tries to combine braindead superhero action with comedy and pseudo-deep themes of self-realization, purpose and awakening. Perhaps that’s theoretically possible, but it certainly didn’t work this time. Had Hancock been two movies — the action comedy and the for your consideration reel, probably at least one movie been a better for it.
Hancock has moments of mild fun and action. Watch Hancock on DVD.
18 CommentsI know I promised the ether that I’d publish a Noscope redesign today. And here it is; white squares on what is currently a grayish background in a fixed-width single column left-aligned design.
8 CommentsCabel writes: Japan: URL’s are totally out. His photographic evidence is compelling. Reading it, I was reminded that I was still clinging to the www part of my web address; my prime argument was that the www is integral in saying “this is a website”. No more. If simple search keywords are the next big [...]
CommentIt’s grand opening day at my very first real webshop. So far, it’s entitled No Shop, but what it should really be called is me plotting posters on art canvas, packing it and sending it off to you. Because that’s what it is.
CommentResident digital life refurbishing outlet, Deskvu, or in humanspeak: website holding wallpapers, has been updated. There’s a refreshed layout, an updated frontpage and most interestingly: an option for you to submit your own wallpapers. Woohoo! Let’s see what happens to that. Unchanged is the amount of wallpapers there, or the features to instantly crop any [...]
2 CommentsSure, Star Trek-style teleportation seems like the next big thing. Sure we could go on vacation in July just by stepping on to a transporter pad and be instantly moved from A to B; B probably being Acapulco or somewhere really nice. Off the bat we would love it, but have you ever pondered the moral and ethical implications of teleportation?
4 CommentsBack in the day, invitations to Gmail were so scarce and popular that people would pay for them. Today, the Gmail invite window is just a nuisance. As it turns out, if you wish to be rid of said framed box, simply give away all your invites. Personally, I just invited myself 100 times over; makes one feel all welcome.
Update: Alas, things aren’t so simple. Within a week you’re given 50 new invites. It seems you need the Better Gmail 2 Firefox extension to truly hide the box.

Some have computers at home and at work. Some of those used to use Google Browser Sync, which has now gone the way of the polar bear dodo. Those people should use Mozilla Weave now.
Besides the woven logo, Weave offers syncronization of bookmarks, tabs, cookies and whatnot. In the future, it’ll even sync all sorts of addons such as themes and other miscellanea. With an open API, Google might even plug that aching need we have to sync our photos and data.
