Sam recently informed me that the BBC is providing weekly highlights of the Adam and Joe radio show.

http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio/podcasts/adamandjoe

No archive on the site yet, so I have attached some of their previous shows (all that I could find on the net).

Dilbert.com is now running a Beta version with all strips going back to 2001 archived in colour, an option of making up your own punchline and an animated Dilbert cartoon.

This is quite possibly the greatest threat to my productivity at work ever.

Graph of Badgerfest.com

I don't know how it works but it sure it purdy! Perhaps a tech should check out the code...

I'm guessing the cluster of purple nodes (Images) is Gov's naughty thread...

It's only a graph of the single page you give it, so in this case, http://badgerfest.com/ -> the front page.

Gov's thread would be: http://www.aharef.info/static/htmlgraph/?u...view=getnewpost

Quite an addictive competitive typing site:

Also good to randomly measure your speed.
I managed about 75wpm at best.

I keep catching site of that ghastly thread and wish it would go away. I'm a respectable daddy now (oh how Rosie's comments come to haunt me)...

Anyhow - this is by far one of the coolest sites I have come across. The thinking that's gone into it is staggering. One for the web developer lot...

The egg boxes on the wall for acoustics are a nice touch.

I saw this in a magazine, but could find it on the Songchart Flickr group, so recreated it (using google chart api another fantastic invention...). There are some other fantastic ones (and some really obscure ones) in the flickr group.

<p><strong>I stand corrected Jonnyboy!</strong></p>

Very nice, but where's "give you up"?

As above...

Aha - but where's 'say goodbye'?

Very annoying site, but I managed 72wpm and that too on an excerpt from Time by Pink Floyd.

PS - corbett has just managed a free pass to glasto. Its going to be messy AND trippy with him there!

I remember talking to someone about this last weekend.

If you haven't seen it yet, then it is definitely worth a look!

If you can work it out without googling, I salute you.

For those of you who like a good pun:

I'd particularly recommend the 'map' feature.

Mwhu ha ha 85 wpm.

Gave up on hapland and looked it up - pretty cool.
I think the grow cube is more satisfying though:

And this is pointless but strangly addictive

I'd love to see the Something Of Boris get made.

The Quantum of Solace thing is possibly the funniest thing I've ever seen.

Google Chrome

This was found on uncyclopedia.org (which tends to make me laugh) in an article about Google:
<br />
<h2>Google Services</h2>
<ul>

<li><b>Google Lunchmeat</b> searches what kind of lunch meats are available in local delis and fridges. Still in beta.
</li>
<li><b>Googlebomb</b>. Googlebomb allows armed forces to contract out air strikes to Google. Troops in Iraq like the clean site design and point-and-click target selection that allows them to return fire when insurgents ambush them, but Google has come under criticism for heavy civilian casualties. <b>Googlebomb</b> is being expanded to allow foreign countries to place orders for air strikes via Google, and eventually to allow terrorist organizations to place requests for bombings. Although this feature has been debated, Google notes that if the bombings are going to be conducted anyway, we might as well have an American company do the bombings, so we'll reap the financial rewards. Still in beta.
</li>
<li><b>G-hud</b> finds you and other infidels, and subsequently massacres them. Still in beta
</li><li><b>G-sus</b> finds redemption from original sin. Still in beta, so you're all going to hell.
</li><li><b>G-whiz</b>. Like cheez whiz, but it comes in yellow, red, green and blue. Still in beta.
</li><li><b>G-unit</b>. I'm not really sure what this one does. It's some kind of a black thing. Still in beta.
</li>
<li> <b>Google Beta</b>. Beta version of the beta of the new Google Beta. Still in beta.

</li><li><b>Ninjoogle Googles Assassins</b> are coming for your head.
</li><li><b>Gronimo</b> finds local Indians to force onto a reservation. If the nearest Indians are already on a reservation, then Gronimo finds the nearest reservation so the Indians can be kicked off their land. Also locates casinos. Still in beta.
</li><li><b>Google Moo</b>. An engine that finds the nearest cow, and can be used to kill, milk, electrify, blow up, or choke a cow. On the favorites list of George Bush's computer. Still in beta.
</li>
</ul>

Eyeballing

got fed up with eyeballing before finishing all 3 runs (averaging just over 5) but was quite pleased with my very first attempt at the first game with an 'Accurate to 0.0 units'!

Someone sent me this on how we're screwing up the planet. A refreshing take on an old and boring concept using sketched cartoon animations. A tad patronising and I only made it to 16 minutes. Check it out.

If you read just one article about the current financial crisis, make it this one.

This was turning out into an annoying American Pie ad till Charlie Brown turned up. No fair. Everyone loves Charlie Brown.

If you've ever thought about moving to Dubai for work, read this article - sums it all up nicely. Though very effing smug!

Wow Dubai!

Just seconding Jonnyboy's recommendation of this article.
