Paste or type some text (500+ words) into the Gender Genie and apparently it has an 80% chance of calculating the writer’s gender, based on the words they’ve used. I pasted in a few recent entries from WoB and, sure enough, it deduced that I am indeed all Hemmingway. Clever. Actually, I guess it could [...]
I’m kind of lost for words as far as this site is concerned, and by its sister-site blinkythe3eyedfish.com (not Simpsons related). It’s a fine line between…
I have a confession to make: I am temporarily un-badger. After we’d had several glasses of wine, Emma persuaded Rob and me to dye our hair dark brown. “Well, see how it looks… it’ll only last a few washes anyway…”. Three weeks later, my hair and matching eyebrows are still jet black.
Jon was kind enough to send me this pic of him and Simon, and it’s just too good not to share with complete strangers.
You have hosted a dinner party, and are just offering coffee when some of your guests start chopping cocaine. It makes you very uncomfortable, but is it polite for you to ask them to stop? Not really the sort of question you expect from the BBC.
Now Blaine’s guards are beating the crap out of people to stop the piss-taking (in this case, someone throwing a lemon). Bugger off home, humourless Yank!
Woo-hoo! The water here’s finally back to normal! For five days people around here have had no water thanks to a water main bursting, and Thames Water having trouble fixing it. I was quite lucky compared to some–at least there was enough water in the taps here for drinking, even if there wasn’t enough pressure [...]
Only time will tell if this is a very, very good thing, or a very, very bad thing, but either way I’m really excited: The Pixies are set to reform. I saw them live in ’89, and they were awesome.
It just gets better and better—it started with David “Talks-Slowly-Because-He’s-Mysterious” Blaine’s transparent box being pelted with eggs, but now he’s had to bring in extra security because of all the abuse he’s received. This includes: People driving golf balls at him from a nearby car park, A full English breakfast being thrown at him, 2 [...]
Q: How can you tell when US soldiers want to go home? A: When they spend an hour and a half killing eight policemen and blasting the shit out of a hospital. (For the best report I’ve read of the incident, read Robert Fisk’s article “A hail of bullets, a trail of dead, and a [...]
The Guardian has published a little article on the potential implications of having the Hutton Inquiry’s evidence online, but unfortunately they didn’t link to Softblade’s Reformatted Hutton Inquiry Transcripts, a site that takes the Hutton Inquiry site and re-packages it in a more usable format (the site’s now on hold, preparing for the next stage, [...]
Yet another story to file under “you couldn’t make this stuff up”: a man in North Carolina bought groceries using a fake 200 dollar bill, bearing the image of President Bush on the front. It also included signs on the front lawn of the front lawn of the White House with slogans such as “We [...]
Lots of cool CSS tricks to jazz up your lists. Also via Zeldman, designer Ryan Carver explains the hows and whys of his XHTML/CSS site for Lee Jeans. Woo-hoo, big corporations using standards!
