Google Chrome: watch this spaceSep 2, 2008

Holding off on Chrome speculation until I can actually try it. Watch this space.

Say hello, againJan 14, 2006

Ed's back with a new WordPress blog. Go check it out.

OK CupidApr 17, 2004

Been obsessed with OKCupid for days along with Mikey and Dan. Go check it out, it's great!

GooglewhackedNov 2, 2003

I got a GoogleWhack with "luddism exobiology" — though it won't last once Google indexes this post.

Stuff to readSep 25, 2003

Clay Shirky is worth reading, especially on why cheap Internet telephony is inevitable.

Random amusing linkage recently: A new approach to website security: The Honour System (hit the...Jun 22, 2003

A roundup of fun links: a website with a big red "delete everything" button, the real Hogwarts Express, Homeland Security jewelry, conceptual art mocking commerce, and a pile of Mac vs. Windows debate fodder.

It's time for another backblog. Are you paranoid about being attacked? Then you may want the...Apr 8, 2003

A grab-bag of links: gas mask ties, GPS art, NationStates policy geekery, childhood misconceptions, genuinely gruesome body modification (you've been warned), esoteric programming languages, Stuart Hughes's war blog, NARA's exhibit hall, XP powertoys, and a Peter Jackson revelation. Plus my current geeky toolbox.

So this is what the BBC has to say about Trinidad. I've already sent them an e-mail pointing out...Aug 30, 2002

I found errors in the BBC's Trinidad profile: their map is wrong and they misidentified Tobago's capital. Also, Sun's Java docs calling a DOM a "garden-variety tree" is idiotic. A tree is a tree, not a data structure.

I was quite interested to find today that, contrary to my expectations, Google has in fact indexed...Aug 12, 2002

Google has indexed my entire site, including blog entries. Amusingly, it will now also index this post about being indexed, creating a hopelessly reflexive loop of links.

Ah, the Dow: my favourite spectator's sport. What will it do today? Will it plunge downwards again,...Jul 30, 2002

The Dow is my favorite spectator sport right now. Will it crash or rocket skyward today? Either way, the breathless financial coverage is pure entertainment. Also: check out Typorganism's ASCII art generator. Upload your face, see yourself in print.

Home on a Saturday night. Z is a bloody evil language; a recurring theme with languages I've had to...Feb 23, 2002

Stuck home on a Saturday struggling with Z, an evil language. Distracted myself with Technosphere (build creatures, set them loose) and The Sims, which is officially the most addictive game ever made.

Partly because it's funny, and partly to motivate him to update the damn thing, I'd like to point...Jan 28, 2002

Pointing you to my friend Chez's neglected homepage partly to embarrass him into updating it. Highlights include hilariously sarcastic kids, a college guide with spot-on takes on philosophy and sociology (sociologists can kiss my ass), and science terms explained.

Hilarious. As reported by Slashdot and Wired, KPMG says you cannot -- must not -- link to its site....Dec 6, 2001

KPMG says you can't link to their website. So naturally I linked to them six times. They also apparently have a theme song, which raises serious questions about corporate dignity and the professionalism of everyone involved in its creation.

This kicks butt. Oh yes, indeed. A web-enabled Etch-A-Sketch! That's not an application that looks...Aug 31, 2001

A real, physical Etch-A-Sketch controlled by a robot and viewable via webcam. Not a simulation. An actual Etch-A-Sketch. The internet is amazing.

I've stopped posting interesting stuff I read on SlashDot for two reasons: It's all interesting,...Apr 2, 2001

I've stopped sharing Slashdot links because everything there is worth reading, and you should just be reading it yourself.
