Well, it would seem that the Reactable as seen in my last post is available for purchase (although I still have no idea how much it is). And who else would you expect to be using one but short Icelandic mentalist Björk, who used one in conjunction with a lot of other expensive goodies during her set at Coachella.Fans of the enigmatic Icelander will be pleased to know that she has a new album out in May this year. Her official site can be found he...

Now, I like to play the guitar a bit. I played piano and drums when I was a kid and I fancy myself as a bit of a DJ. All of which make me want this multi-user synth very, very much. I'd have to save for a bit though as I reckon it'd be a bit pricey. Perhaps I could sell some interal organs or something?...

You will have to excuse me if this page appears a bit odd looking for a bit. As a recent convert to Opera (the browser, not the musical stylings of Wagner, Puccini et al), I realised it was high time I actually got off my arse and fixed the stylesheet for this site so that it actually worked in browsers other than IE. It's almost there but there are one or two little gremlins that need to be ruthlessly hunted down and taken out the back to be beaten to death. Normal service will resume short...

Still no word on the fate of BBC journo Alan Johnston. Help add to the pressure on parties who have influence in the region and sign the petition calling for his release. No hostage in this area has been held for so long or with this little information. Such acts only serve to harm the Palestinian cause, a fact not lost on the vast majority of Palestinians, who have been extremely vocal and pro-active in expressing their displeasure and disgust at this kidnapping. The very least we can do is add to that growing chorus of dismay.By all account Johnston...

Is it possible do you think? Making your own luck? In the last few days I think this has happened to me twice. Firstly, for some days I had the strange feeling that a bird was going to launch a turd at me from on high. This hasn't happened to me for years and somehow I felt as if I'd been dodging it for so long it was bound to happen; law of averages maybe. Anyway, for several days I was wary of birds flying overhead, especially pigeons, of which there are plenty round here, and sea gulls when I went for a day trip to the beach on Easter Saturday.I...

this week, I have been mostly playing...Command and Conquer 3 from EA Games. Whilst its a good game, in true EA style after only 5 days of being on general release there have already been three patches one of which is to fix the patch updater. However, this is not the most annoying aspect, oh no. This comes from actually installing the patches because once you do, then it can stuff the odious copy protection system (SecuRom) so that when you try and start the game you get an error message: A required security module could not be activated. This...

A while ago I started to wonder if anyone was reading my blog. Not that I'd have stopped if they weren't, but you can't help getting curious to know if anyone is reading your rants/drivel/philosophical musings so I've been tracking some basic info using Statcounter and to be honest, I'm amazed at the restuls. Now I'm hardly going to win awards for the amount of traffic on the site and I know I have a couple of regular reader who are friends of mine, one of whom is based in Hong Kong, but I have had a truly global readership so far.Granted most...

I'm half watching the BBC's Castaway at the moment and there's a new arrival on the island - a cow. It arrived overnight so when one girl went out of the hut early for some reason she was the first to see it in the field. The cow moos at her and she rushes back into the hut with a look of consternation on her face. She wakes a couple of the other inhabitants and tells them: "You know down at the bottom of the hill...there's a horse!".How the fuck can you not know the difference between a cow (which has just mooed at you) and a horse? They are,...

For a while now it's been bugging me that the girl from the Bradford and Bingley advert looks very familiar. Yesterday I twigged - she's a Spong Monk...
