The Flash Satay Experiment

Those of us that care about designing to web standards have long debated the best way to include Flash in valid XHTML pages. Unfortunately one of the best methods, the Flash Satay approach, seems to produce a lot of different results depending on the user’s browser, OS etc.. To try and figure out exactly where [...]

Diagnosis Murder – the reject or the short-arsed reject?

Few have heard of Diagnosis Murder. So when a blog discusses the finer points of said programme (Scott Baio v Charlie Schlatter), you’ve got to give them a certain credit. After all, it really is the worst programme of all time. However, surely such astute people should be getting enraged by Quincy’s quest for justice, [...]

Mystic Eggs

Aside from finding your lover’s mouth around your genitals, can there really be a better way to wake up than to find David Blaine’s been pelted with eggs during his first night?

Changingcells

The US government has admitted that it doesn’t even know how many people it’s holding prisoner in the Guantanamo Bay concentration camp, let alone their names. Apparently translating the names from Arabic to English has created problems with spelling… hey, why bother finding out who you’re holding, when you can just call them Sub-human A-rab [...]

Cool CNN Parody

A very amusing Aussie parody of CNN. Some nice touches–I particularly liked the CNNNN4Kids’: “Will the evil boat people win out against our HyperTwin heroes, RITa + LiN?”

You wouldn’t accept this sort of inept lying from a 5-year-old

Ah, seems they’re entering the fourth stage of the big lie: Stage 1 – “We know the WMD are there” Stage 2 – “We still believe the WMD are there” Stage 3 – “We believe we will find evidence of WMD ‘programmes’” Stage 4 – “We were tricked into believing the WMD were there” Yes, [...]

Chief UN weapons inspector: they told porkies

Dimitris Perricos, the new chief U.N. weapons inspector, doesn’t sound particularly convinced by Tony Blair’s lies: “There is no doubt that the phrase of ‘within 45 minutes’ that was included in the British report did not correspond to reality.” “No one, of course, should go to war for a (weapons) program if they do not [...]

Bush – a safe pair of hands

After spending the day talking about how sure-handed he was about his plans to bolster the US economy, President Bush proceeded to drop his dog Barney onto some tarmac. So the list of things Dubya is too feeble-minded to do grows ever longer: Swallow a pretzel Ride a Segway Run the world Hold a dog

Badger’s Website of the Month

Well, any site I’ve visited that isn’t Google or php.net probably stand a good chance of earning the title Badger’s Web Site of the Month for August, but for what it’s worth, here’s my choice: My Cat Hates You.

Swiss Cheese Browser

Sorry for not updating recently, but I’ve banned myself from posting whilst drunk–and given that my life is currently restricted to coding, sleeping and drinking, that’s a bit limiting. However, those odd free moments I have are taken up with downloading patches for Internet Explorer and Windows. As Richard Forno puts it: Forget California, it’s [...]

Adolf and Eva show us around their beautiful mountain-top retreat

File under “You Couldn’t Make It Up If You Tried”… If you’re thinking about doing up your pad and want that retro-chic style, why not go for the “Insane 30s Dictator”-look? As Rogue Semiotics points out, for some reason this one doesn’t make it into the Homes & Gardens website archive…
