Dilbert Quote Competition

"A magazine ran a Dilbert quotes contest. These are actual quotes from managers out there! Any of them sound familiar?"

Eternal Sunshine

This freakish music video is a clever way to get the characters from the film you're the soundtrack for to sing your song for you, but I especially like the cute touches of the singing house and dancing radio. Now I really want to watch The Eternal Sunshine Of The Spotless Mind and hear more from the Polyphonic Spree (even more than when I played The Quest For the Rest).

Tweak XP

If you want your Windoze XP install 'just so' then you can't beat Tweak XP for some top tweaking tips on how to go about it. I've now removed the annoying little shortcut arrow from my desktop shortcuts which has let me admire the beauty of my homestarrunner iconset. Tweaktastic.

Halcyon Hours

Some chilled out tunes and chilled out flash with halcyon hours - the perfect calm down site between gaming sessions (minimal clicking required). I especially like it as it features the obscure Mazzy Star who I love and it reminded me of one of my all time favourite tracks - Halcyon by Orbital.

The Lazylaces Issue

Did I ever tell you about the time I was on the front cover of Elle? Oh, how the ladies' magazines like an eligible bachelor [ta hp].

UK Metric

Here in the UK we all learn metric meaures at school (even an oldster like me did), but we like to mix things up a little by sticking to imperial weights and measures irl. The beeb have a nice article today with view-points from both imperial and metric camps, along with, as always, entertaining comments from the public which make interesting reading. Personally I'm all for going metric, but having said that I'll always order a 'pint' rather than a half litre (even if the second is bigger).

The Water Cube

Just as one Olympics ends you start seeing droolworthy graphics of the venue for the the next one. "The Water Cube will be one of the most dramatic and exciting venues to feature sporting events for the Beijing Olympics in 2008". Very cool, although I can't quite work out if the walls will be filled with water, or just made to look like they will. Nice either way if the animation is anything to go by.

Vegetarian Rhapsody

If you liked Bohemian Rhapsody but it was too meaty for you, then this might be the answer you've been looking for. Enjoy those greens, and remember 5 portions a day is the recommended daily amount to stay healthy [at brainwashstudios].

Bryant Park Hotel

I'm not totally sure if the quality of their flash web sites is a sensible way to pick what hotel you're going to stay in, but if you were to do it this way, you'd definately be staying in the Bryant Park if you visited New York. Quality.

Shaun Of The Dead (Again)

When I found the Shaun Of The Dead site the other day what I omitted to do was check the UK site. It has a much better version of the game and the trailer. Enjoy - and remember the DVD is out in just over a week.
