Today saw the official launch of the 2012 Olympic branding. It's astounding in many ways and people are making themselves heard so that something can be done to fix it.

I've just seen this picture on 9rules and I've fought very hard to keep a straight face while posting it here. [image] I don't think I need to say anything else. I'll go back to giggling like a little girl.

Firstly let me apologise for not posting in a little while. I've been pretty busy working as of late but I'll make sure I put into the site more regularly than I have recently. [image] The second apology is the title. I've taken the Digg's Apple-section tactic of "I can post any

I'd like to award the Crap Site of the Month award to Sony's sterling effort: their EU PS3 site. People that have read my previous rants against Sony might feel I have some form of vendetta against the

I've been meaning to mention this one for a while but I've only just found the strength to do so without exploding in a big ball of laughter. The nerds from past posts have been at it again — this time emulating the classic genius, that is Knightmare.

I blogged about conventions a while ago but it seems the world of nerds is bigger than I thought — not even conventions are enough to satisfy their insatiable lust for high jinks and nosebleeds. Reading

Anybody that has followed the exploits of SCO (the Utahrian software company) may notice one thing: for a company that doesn't release an awful lot, they spend a lot of time in court trying to sue the pants of somebody. Some might say (not me — I like my pants) that SCO make more lawsuits

The "Magic Cone" has to be way up there when it comes to disposable, laminated, card products to aid women with acute penis envy... Or no knees... Either way I find the Magic Cone disturbing... Here is the demonstration on how to use said magic cone:

Update (28Dec06): I posted a thread on 9rules about this today -- some time after the link had been removed... I can't say it started smoothly, with the first post (eg mine) being annihilated after 10 minutes and the first reply becoming my post (and thoroughly confusing everyone).

I've been watching a lot of Battlestar Galactica recently. I've always avoided it until now and I'm glad I did. Not because it's rubbish, by any accounts, but because leaving it until now has let me pummel through so much so fast. Good series have good cliffhangers and I'm not a patient man.

More pie in the face of Sony again today; this time fired from Microsoft's infinite moneybags. [image] Believe it or not, that screenshot is from the GameSpot PS3 page. Almost brings a new meaning to "targeted adverts". =)

Australian film-maker John Safran is so fed up with Mormons ringing his doorbell early in the morning that he flies to Salt Lake City Utah and tries to convert Mormons to atheism. Needless to say, the locals were not pleased.

Spam is just getting silly. [image] In what looks like an attempt to beat OCR detection, spam mailers are using systems that are used by CAPTCHAs to stop automated reading of characters. The problem with this approach to things is they're trying to get people to take their messages

Over the course of this (sure to be epic) post, I'm going to look into all the cock-ups Sony has thrown at the fans in the last year as they awaited the Playstation 3. Let this serve as a reminder as to how these guys act and why you shouldn't fall for their marketing crap. It's ordered

[image] A lot could be said for the plot twists in Lost and many would not chose the word "planned" to describe them. Over the last series + 4eps they've added a massive number of characters, most of which seem like they're in it to stay... That is until they're done for

It’s a strange point in a man's life when after watching episodes 1 through 3 of Star Wars that he thinks to himself that Lord of the Rings really is a better set of films. For someone that is also a registered Jedi Knight on the 2000-and-whatever-it-was census, it’s quite scary.
