I love clever mathematical tricks…
…and this is a lovely implementation of one. Top marks, that man.
Blobs? Cosmic Blobs!
Colin’s done another great piece, a Cosmic Blobs review. This wild and wacky piece of software could actually turn out to play a great role in education.
Things to make the world a better place
…part 45,308: teach women how to turn a mobile phone on. Look, the power is (virtually) free, why DO they all switch their phones off when they take them out with them? “Er hi, just replying to your message earlier…
Jesusland
The map of Jesusland and the United States of Canada which has been doing the rounds is absolute genius. I can’t even track down who did the original to give them credit. It just says so much, in such a…
Steve Satan is back
The great Steve Satan is making one of his sporadic appearances on the airwaves during November 2004 on 87.7 Commonwealth FM …bringing the world to Bristol, it says here. Presumably through the medium of Super Sounds. Listen in on Thursday…
Top Three Least Favourite Footballers
Just a random thought which went through my head which should be committed to print: my Top Three Least Favourite Footballers. No surprises really. At number three, the disgraceful Dennis Wise: even my three-year-old, at his first football match the…
Time to go, Tony
Naturally, like any European I don’t give a stuff about whether Americans want to ban gay marriages, make various tax cuts, etc …it’s entirely their affair, and doesn’t affect me. Good luck to them, whatever. The reason I’m depressed about…
Naughty naughty Charlie Brooker
It was one of the most wild pieces of invective against George W Bush I’ve yet read, but Charlie Brooker’s “Screen Burn” column in The Guardian last week apparently went over the top at the end when it said: “John…
Deep Joy
Palace got a win at last, so now the Canaries are the only Premiership side without a victory. No side which has failed to win in its first five games of a Premiership season has ever managed to avoid relegation,…
No need to show Bouncebackability yet
…because when you’re number one for the term, well, there’s nothing to bounce back from, is there? I thank you. Thanks for the nice link from this bouncebackability-related site which is running me a close second. I’m still waiting for…
Bouncebackability …what else?
In a shameless attempt to get to No.1 on the search engines and get an invite to wear my Town shirt on Soccer AM, let’s gratuitously use the word bouncebackability a lot. Is that enough? Stop Press: Seems like it…
We’re always top of the league, Dad
So Cherry Hinton Blue Jnr goes to his first football match, and Ipswich go top of the Championship. Of course he thinks it’s always like this, doesn’t he?
Crappy Chicken
My former flatmate and I, many years ago, loved spotting risible uses of “n” as a substitute for “and”, especially in shop signs. So much so that we started taking photos of them (“Duckin’n’divin” was a favourite). If we’d had…
One Thousand Reasons
Let’s face it, not many of us have much of an interest in politics outside our own country, but it’s astonishing how the forthcoming US election has galvanised the world’s attention. I doubt if any US president in history has…
HR-V: top marks from me
Got a new car today. But the picture above is the old one, for posterity. Alex was heartbroken. Three-year-olds don’t realise that people change cars. And they hate change. He’s never known another one. I took a tip from a…
These ones got people talking
