Peepshow is one of my favourite comedies of the last few years, and Mitchell and Webb are inspired choices to play Mac and PC in the UK version of the Get a Mac ads.

From my occasional series of ‘here’s something from the musical archives that’s pretty cool’ posts.
I love the fact that YouTube allows for the sharing of this kind of content. It’s probably not strictly ‘legal’. And it’s not strictly user-generated either, more sort of user-archived. But I think we shouldn’t underestimate the massive power of [...]
Nice post by Russell about ‘Lexical Density’, which sounds much more scary than it is…
It got me thinking, all this stuff is all very well to analyse in retrospect, so what about a real-time speech analyser that monitors your lexical density, fog index, criminal overuse of words and phrases, etc. Perhaps something mounted in a [...]
Here’s a little pet project I’ve been thinking about for a while.
I wanted to do something that shows the computers that people blog from. I reckon it might give an interesting, non-verbal snapshot into the bloggers’ world. So I’ve gone and done it.

Please get involved if you’re a blogger. And tell all your [...]
I like hats, they keep your head warm. But once you’ve worn one, it’s a bugger. You can’t take it off. Or you look like an idiot.
Here’s a site that Poke built that I’ve never written about. Probably because I had nothing to do with it. But it’s a great little site. Partly to do with what we did for them. But as least as much, if not more, because they’re using it really well. Which I’m sure is partly related [...]
OK, so it’s hardly skiing weather. But you can actually see snow on top of stuff. Which is nice for a change. Expect stories of commutors taking 79 hours to get to work as a result…
I suppose that’s not really possible so visit this exhibition of his work at the Design Museum instead.
I went on Saturday and it was great. Amazing to see the work of someone who’s both era-defying and defining at the same time – some of his work from the 60s looks like it could have been [...]
Blogs are great. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again. I asked a question about semacodes on websites. Went to bed. Then I woke up and someone’s left me a great answer. It’s like a big huge collective brain that goes on thinking throughout the night ;-)
Anyway, thanks Roger for some great thoughts. [...]
Semacodes are pretty cool.
The all knowing Wikipedia with it’s dazzling array of cross-links describes a semacode thusly:
a URL can be converted into a type of barcode resembling a crossword puzzle, which is called a “tag”. Tags can be quickly captured with a mobile phone’s camera and decoded to obtain a Web site address. This address [...]
