More Dadadodo. Here’s some Daniel Davies:
The rule was founded in its Allied Masonic Daniel Davies industry; completely! This seems to go on strike; the state of international Economics and philosophical heroes Subcomandante Marcos Will be done about two might be the Grand lodge of its Allied Masonic Service Association reports in, Dubai the heck [...]

Cool; an application that uses rules you give it to generate weird and three-dimensional graphics. (Via Sterling, who else.) This comes to mind, though; what if it could generate STL computer-aided design files? They are the kind that the RepRap’s host software eats, I think. And making them in hardware, you have to admit, is [...]

RIP. Gilliard was a master of the snark element, Chris Lightfoot of the hacker element, Tanta of the policy element of great blogging. Together it’s the blogging triathlon. (Yes, I agree this sounds a bit chilly.)
More broadly, folk like “Black Swan” Taleb have to deal with the fact that their great unpredictable validating event [...]

Arms Control Wonk has been running a series on how Iranian missiles work and how well. It’s bloody brilliant; go read, and you’ll come away thinking you could maybe start your own launcher project.

It seems that Andrew Gilligan has been stung by the phrase “Bendy Jihad”. So much so that he has devoted a whole column to moaning about it, or rather to moaning about anyone having the cheek to disagree with him. It’s a pity, then, that he couldn’t see his way to attributing his attack correctly, [...]

Utterly trivial, but fun – here are all the songs I’ve referred to on the blog for the last 6 months, in reverse chronological order. (You know 3UK’s voicemail service plays messages back to you in *chronological* order, so you have to listen to all the others before getting the most recent? USABILITY FAIL.)
Know Your [...]

The shock of the old

I’ve been blogging longer than the Rude Pundit.

probably a robbery

From the always wonderful, Satin Pajama shortlisted, Where the money is…, the rock band who stage guerrilla gigs in banks. Bursting out of a white van, the men in balaclavas from the power trio Caracho (as in “Ni karasho!”, I presume) charge into the bank, assemble their specially hacked backline amps, and hit it. This [...]

Digital chocolate

So some of our friends came around; and brought their kids. We got out the Chumby, the roast chickens, the giant spiders…no, seriously…
