For <lj user="ibneko"> - a <a href="http://ozyandmillie.org/2004/om20040427.html">particularly horrible pun</a>, courtesy of <a href="http://ozyandmillie.org/">Ozy & Millie</a>, one of the better comics around, and now back on Tuesdays and Thursdays, following an extended break. No sign yet of <a href="http://www.fried.com/>Fried Society</a> returning, though the artist did seem to think it might be possible. (If it's a new one to you, try "Jigsaw", easily one of my favorites)
Interesting.. if <a href="http://www.macosxhints.com/article.php?story=20040426151111599#comments">this Mac OS X Hints posting</a> is correct, US cable operators are obliged to provide a Firewire-equipped box on request. Thus, HDTV recording becomes quite simple and cheap.
Um. An <a href="http://www.kuddlkat.com/PCs/T-NADS/pages/T-NADS-19.htm">unusual, furry PC case mod</a>. Not safe for work or maiden aunts. (Now, this is one advantage of a desktop - treating a laptop in such a way would likely cause heat death of the processor in fairly short order, or an extremely hot keyboard)
I was recently exposed to a particular tune, which has subsequently burrowed its way into what passes for my mind and taken up gleeful residence, I can do only one thing: <a href="http://irresponsiblecybernetics.com/~porsupah/Labyrinth_Of_Flames-ED.mp3">share it with you</a>. Cossack ending theme for an anime, it would seem.
What can I say? A <a href="http://news.independent.co.uk/uk/this_britain/story.jsp?story=515990">"workout trolley"</a> is being deployed by the leading UK supermarket. It might as well be from Chris Morris and friends.. could you really make this up, though? <i>"It is still some way in the future, but eventually you will have a trolley which greets you by name, wishes you happy birthday, steers you to the meat counter and warns you about your health if you buy too many cakes."</i>
And finally, from the "Don't Point That Thing At Me" department, <a href="http://www.ananova.com/news/story/sm_76570.html">news of an exploding penis</a>. The good doctor does note, however, "It is very rare for this to happen."
