And Again

There’s a bit more going on here for the time being

Clearification

So although typically anything from Microsoft has me reaching for one of my collection of vintage in-flight barf bags, Clearification is really entertaining.

What the World Eats

A great photo essay from Time magazine about what and how much families around the world consume in a week.

How soon is now?

By ‘soon’ in the last post, I actually meant ‘in about 6 months.’

Here’s a clip from Troop of One Hundred, in which 100 people randomly chase after strangers.

The Fog is Lifting

I mean the ‘newborn baby-induced fog’. But perhaps ‘lifting’ is slightly too optimistic. Maybe the fog has turned into a light haze instead. It’s true though that the bags under my eyes are more like carry-on luggage now rather than something you’d pack for an overseas adventure. More soon!

Kransky

Last night the Kransky Sisters appeared on Spicks and Specs (one of the lesser known gems of australian television). They did an amazing version of Highway to Hell to end the show. I've searched high and low for mp3s but have unfortunately come up empty.

Lost Insanity

Lostpedia is a wikipedia clone which obsessively records the minutiae of the show and hosts theories of wildly varying quality relating to what the hell is going on in it. I really like it; trawling through tonight I found myself picking up lots of threads in the show that I had forgotten about.

Claire also pointed me towards this terrific writeup on why Lost is new media.

Warning: if you aren't watching the shows as they appear in the US, both of those sources will contain spoilers.
