Brits! Act now to save the BBC from Microsoft

Ok so I am felling supper lazzey so this is jsut a hack and slash and paste jobby from boing boing,

Paul sez, "The BBC are holding an open consultation regarding how they're going to delivery on-demand content, they want answers to questions like: "How important is it that the proposed seven-day catch-up service over the internet is available to consumers who are not using Microsoft software?" The form takes 5 minutes to fill in, is confidential and could be a defining moment of on-line content delivery. Let's pressure the BBC into embracing open standards!" Link (Thanks, Paul!)

If i can get time i inted to send a nice long riten response and try and keep teh bbc the way it should be, so take some time out your selfs and go let them know what you think.

Yahoo Wii on Flickr users!

Yay its started already yahoo is using Flickr users photos to sell crap on wii.yahoo.com. We all said they where EVIL! But now we have it in glorious technicolor.

All images tagged with "Wii" where showing up in the little flickr stip on this Yahoo whoring site where they try and make a few bucks off recyled Wii news, even one's that had all rights reserved.

This has hit Digg but at only 200 or so Diggs, it doe's not seam to be as outragous as forcing us all to use y! Id's.

The fall out on the Flickr froums can be read here, with talk of class action law suits against flickr thou I doubt any one with the new yahoo TOS could ever sue them, but mabye old skoolers with the old flickr TOS could?

Thanks to SteveFE—Old Skool Flickr says up yours Yahoo!'s Who took the screen dump above, for alerting the flickr comunity. Which has now started to label all pics with the Wii tag. If you look at the above pic on Flickr in large you can see the subversion.

Bye Bye Flickr

Well to day is the day that Flickr cuts its nose off to spit its face.

Dear Old Skool Account-Holding Flickr Member, On March 15th we'll be discontinuing the old email-based Flickr sign in system. From that point on, everyone will have to use a Yahoo! ID to sign in to Flickr.

We're making this change now to simplify the sign in process in advance of several large projects launching this year, but some Flickr features and tools already require Yahoo! IDs for sign in -- like the mobile site at m.flickr.com or the new Yahoo! Go program for mobiles, available at: http://go.yahoo.com.

95% of your fellow Flickrites already use this system and their experience is just the same as yours is now, except they sign in on a different page. It's easy to switch: it takes about a minute if you already have a Yahoo! ID and about five minutes if you don't.

You can make the switch at any time in the next few months, from today till the 15th. (After that day, you'll be required to merge before you continue using your account.)

To switch, start at this page: http://flickr.com/account/associate/ Nothing else on your account or experience of Flickr changes: you can continue to have your FlickrMail and notifications sent to any email address at any domain and your screenname will remain the same. Complete details and answers to most common questions are available here: http://flickr.com/help/signin/

Thanks for your patience and understanding - and even bigger thanks for your continued support of Flickr: if you're reading this, you've been around for a while and that means a lot to us!

Warmest regards, - The Flickreenos

We all knew that one day this might come but I refuse to belive that 95% of "Old Skool" user have switched to yahoo id's. Simple put the mottor of "Old Skoolers" is "over my dead body"

Yahoo is the worst of all the web companys, I have yahoo account and ever time I go to use it I have to reset my password even 3 hours later I can not log in. I have to request a new password, If you think I am doing that every time I login to Flickr your mistaken.

Never mind Yahoo's hidius Tos,

With respect to photos, graphics, audio or video you submit or make available for inclusion on publicly accessible areas of the Service other than Yahoo! Groups, the license to use, distribute, reproduce, modify, adapt, publicly perform and publicly display such Content on the Service solely for the purpose for which such Content was submitted or made available. This license exists only for as long as you elect to continue to include such Content on the Service and will terminate at the time you remove or Yahoo! removes such Content from the Service.

So Yahoo now gets a license to my photos overriding/aside from any CC License I have set them to.

Never mind yahoo's long standing of profits over users.

I am not the only one effect by a long shot, and users like kosso with better skills are working to wards a new home, that is not rulled by yahoo.

Never mind the poor programming over at yahoo, why does the merger process take you to the yahoo home page?

If you want to get your pics out of Flickr then you could try Flickr backup. I have yet to try any method of gettign my pics out of Flickr, Tbh I dont have clue which ones I have and which ones where passed to me on cd and then uploaded and the CD binned, just cos I am like that.


There is also,

OK, so I have just knocked up a PHP5 script which, WITH SOME MORE WORK (on your part) will grab all your photos from flickr, should you want to move away from them.

From the afformentioned Kosso.

I have just sigend up for a zooomr account I think this is where most of the die hard "old Skool" flickr peeps will move to. I know as soon as I can get my pics off Flickr and a copy of my favs I will be moving I am having nothing to do with yahoo.

Vista - Driver Signing Bypass

Vist is only just out in fact even befor it was out it was hacked and now the much hated DRM for Hi-Def dvd and Blue ray has been bypassed,

The great thing about the code I’ve written is that it does NOT use test signing mode and it does NOT load an unsigned driver into the system. Therefore, to any A/V application running, the system seems totally safe — when in fact, it’s not. Now, because I’m still booting with a special flag, it’s possible for Microsoft to patch the PMP and have it report that this flag is set, thereby disabling premium content. However, beause I already have kernel-mode code running at this point, I can disable this flag in memory, and PMP will never know that it was enabled. Again, Microsoft could fight this by caching the value, or obfuscating it somewhere inside PMP’s kernel-mode code, but as long as it’s in kernel-mode, and I’ve got code in kernel-mode, I can patch it.

Go alex ionescu as long as some out there at M$ can think of a way to brake our pc's someone else can think of a way to fix them again.

To Eat Or Not To Eat?

Personally I don't really eat first thing in the morning I am more of a night guy my self, I have never bothered with breakfast, but I am sure some of you eat breakfast so you might just find this usefull.

Everyone tells us that breakfast is the most important meal of the day and that it should be a substantial meal. Yet, some people awaken not feeling hungry and have no desire to wolf down bowls of stodgy cereal and plates of dry toast. For such people, breakfast is more easily skipped until they feel their stomach has "woken up" later in the day. Whatever your reason, the breakfast supporters do have a point - breakfast fuels us for the day.

Four FUTURAMA Movies Going to DVD

“I was frustrated when it got cancelled, but Fox, 20th Television is the one who came back and said, ‘Would you like to do a DVD movie?’” Groening recalled. We said, ‘Let’s do two’ and they said, ‘Well, why not three?’ and we said, ‘Well, why not four?’ and they said, ‘Okay, four’ and then that’s it.”

How cool is that, never mind 4 movies! But Futurama is all so comeing back to TV,

FUTURAMA, the TV series, has been picked up for more episodes, but not by Fox. Comedy Central will be airing new FUTURAMA episodes after the straight to DVD movies have been released. Expect many of these episodes to push the limits and be much more extreme because these new episodes will be appearing on Comedy Central.

Vista- The Death Of Freedom

Well all in all its a bad week for us all,

In the US, France and a few other countries it is already forbidden to play legally purchased music or videos using GNU/Linux media players. Sounds like sci-fi? Unfortunately not. And it won’t end up on multimedia only. Welcome to the the new era of DRM!

Thou I am sure it's probley been that why for a while now, but like all things we find out when its to late to do any thing about it.

If you want to know more on why Vist and its DRM crippl wear is bad for you, you can read the full thing here.

BRUSSELS (Reuters)—A coalition of rivals charged on Friday that Microsoft Corp.'s new Vista operating system coming out next week will perpetuate practices found illegal in the European Union nearly three years ago.

Yay we fine them millions and guess what they still do stuff that makes them even more millions and gets them a fine of millions, but lets face it 450 milion is nothing to the worlds richest man, mabye we need to start upping the fines so that they are stupid money can any one say 450 billion?

On the good news frount, we can fight back..

The overwhelmingly successful attack against HD DVD and Blu-ray represents several well-entrenched facets of the online community. Perhaps most important is the inherent cooperation that manifests itself against a seemingly common enemy - DRM (Digital Rights Management.) Attached to this cooperation are the vast resources of the online community: primarily its virtually unlimited supply of talent, intellect, and most importantly, its rapid response to a commonly perceived threat.

But lets face it thats not an option for all of us, most people dont even know how to set the timer on their VCR never mind crack DRM.

A month after the first signs appeared online that AACS—the content protection scheme shared by HD DVD and Blu-ray—had been circumvented, the AACS Licensing Authority has verified the hack. According to a statement from the AACS LA, AACS has not been seriously compromised. Instead, the statement said, the attack is "limited to the compromise of specific implementations" and "indicate[s] an attack on one or more players sold by AACS licensees."

Of course the DRM criple where side has to say "sticks and stones will brake my bones but your nasty circumventions wont stop us from braking your pc :P" Dont you just love them, not.

So stop sitting their on your fat arse and go use, www.writetothem.com to tell your MP you dont want to live in M$ vission of DRM Crippled world.

Record Labels Contemplate Unrestricted Digital Music

CANNES, France, Jan. 22 — As even digital music revenue growth falters because of rampant file-sharing by consumers, the major record labels are moving closer to releasing music on the Internet with no copying restrictions — a step they once vowed never to take.

Executives of several technology companies meeting here at Midem, the annual global trade fair for the music industry, said over the weekend that at least one of the four major record companies could move toward the sale of unrestricted digital files in the MP3 format within months.

Will the people win out, will we get DRM free files, who knows only time will tell, but why dont you wright to them and tell them that, thats what you want.

What's the "Scroll Lock" key on my computer for?

To be honest I did not have a clue my self, and I have been using computers since I was 12.

The main intent of the Scroll Lock key was to allow scrolling of screen text up, down and presumably sideways using the arrow keys in the days before large displays and graphical scroll bars. You can see where this might have been handy in the DOS era, when screen output typically was limited to 80 characters wide by 25 rows deep. For some types of programs, spreadsheets being the obvious example, it's still handy now. In Microsoft Excel, Scroll Lock allows you to scroll a spreadsheet with the arrow keys without moving the active cell pointer from the currently highlighted cell. In Quattro Pro, another spreadsheet program, Scroll Lock works in a similar manner, although in contrast to Excel it's not possible to scroll the active cell pointer completely off the screen.

Giant rabbits to feed North Korea's hunger!

Karl Szmolinsky, a 67 year old, East German pensioner that have breds rabbits the size of dogs for 47 years was asked by North Korea's ambassador whether he might be willing to sell some rabbits to set up a breeding farm in North Korea.

North Korea is a country of 23 million which have widespread food shortages and many people "struggle to feed themselves on a diet critically deficient in protein, fats and micronutrients" according to the United Nations Food Programme.

Each of Karl's 'German Grey Monsters' weigh about 7kg and can be used to feed 8 people

Each of Karl's 'German Grey Monsters' weigh about 7kg and can be used to feed 8 people. He was delighted to help the North Koreans, that he gave the North Koreans a special price, €80 per rabbit instead of the usual €200 to €250.

Interesting idea but surely the rabbits will eat far more in Veg than they will produce in meat, but at least shows that when backed in to a corner people are at least willing to try something new and different and think out side the box, if only we could get a government to do that with fuels for the 21st century rather than sticking to fossil fuels and taxing and thing different out of the market.

What gay Star Trek character are you?

You are Picard. People seem to want you because they can't have you. You are a very moral and intellectual person, but you prefer to be alone. You are introverted to the point that you deny that anyone ever has any interest in you. You're a tough one to crack, but whoever can make their way into your heart should be lucky. Once you do admit to yourself that you're in love, you will provide your interest with a very meaningful, loving relationship. Your lover is Q. Chances are, you like omnipotence and receding hairlines.

Some body save the puppy's!

I have just been reading over at boing boing, how the crazy in Japan for smaller and smaller, and more unusual looking dogs is driving them to bread dogs that never should be bread, The dogs can be sold for up $10,000 for the more rarer ones, but the rear dogs are only bread by breading a pair. Then breading the farther form the first breading with the daughter produced by that breading and then again breading the same dog with his granddaughter.

The practice is causing all sorts of problems in the dogs as they are infect being inbreed for the sake of fashion. What's worse is that to days fad is tomorrow dust bin filling, lets face there is not exactly a lot of room in Japan, know for its tight living accommodation.

As far as I am concerned dog's as fashion accessories should not be done, if don't like your little black dress you stop wearing it, are you going to stop feeding your dog?

Driver Collector

How I wish this was around, all those many years ago it could have saved so much time and effort.

Driver Collector is a tool designed to find and collect installed windows drivers for the hardware you select on your PC. Once you tell it which type of drivers you want to collect, it will copy them to a specific folder. This can be very handy when preparing for a format and reinstall of Windows, especially when you or a client have since lost the computers driver disks.

1984

Is it not time we put and end to this crap, write your mp and let them know what you think.

Almost 70 years after George Orwell created the all-seeing dictator Big Brother in the novel ``1984,'' Britons are being watched as never before. About 4.2 million spy cameras film each citizen 300 times a day, and police have built the world's largest DNA database. Prime Minister Tony Blair said all Britons should carry biometric identification cards to help fight the war on terror.

Disconnected

I have just watched an excellent program on BBC 1 about the internet and the future of the world and how though the internet information will be disseminated and that the age of broadcast technology was actual blip upon the radar and wont really be seen again.

It looked at word of mouth and how thought word of mouth new media will be distributed, it got me thinking how everything I do on the net was American, all the blogs I read are written by Americans, all he pod casts are made by Americans and so on and so on.

It got me to thinking why do I have such a big disconnect, I could not name one UK web site other than the register. Simple I guess its that in the past there simple hasn't been any UK web sites worth visiting we just seam to be so far behind the times.

I mean take the BBC web site it seams to publish less and lessa cutal news all the time, and jsut seams to take the govermants poitn of view at all times it has turned in to the goverments monkey.

O well i am sure I could go on and on and on but i wont.

imagini.net

I have to say it was fun to do, but I found my self a little tawn between some of the options or that some of them where a bit simlar but on the whole it was good site.

www.imagini.net/giftfinder/

Basically you pic a bunch of pics that represent you and what you like to do, and the site suggest gift idea's.

You can see my recomendations here,

The little bit of phsyco baable was a nice touch to,

Your choice of colour signifies a sense of intelligence, communication, trust, efficiency, serenity, duty and calm. You are likely to be a very devoted and loyal person that likes things to be in order. You are probably happy to express your emotions and are regarded by your friends as someone that can easily gauge their mood.

Spare time is spent giving to others. You love to be surrounded by your closest friends and family, and you love to nourish and nurture them. Sometimes you strive for perfection as you always like to give the best you can.

Nothing beats wide-open spaces, and the chance to stretch your legs and mind - this is what you do for fun. You can be a little nostalgic, and like to revisit places with fond memories - sentiment is not lost on you!

You love to experience a little bit of danger in your life - embracing a challenge, and the rush of adrenalin.

Your style is elegant - you appreciate a little embellished detail that marks you apart.

When you have extra time you like to have it all to yourself. You know exactly how relax and rejuvenate. Some see your lux lifestyle as indulgent, but for you pampering is so essential!

You like holidays to be fast paced - a bit like you! You like the speed and culture that the world's most famous cities have to offer you, gratifying your inquisitive nature. You might like the more lux side of living, and like to indulge in all the plus sides of modern city living.

What really matters to you is being able to have the time to appreciate the little wonders in everyday life - you're a reflective character.

Giving means so many things but you think it is defined by the gift of life - because it keeps growing and giving as you do. You may be spiritual, or in awe of this - either way you see something so precious as the best gift available.

September 26, 2006
The Ouran Anime is officially finished. That's right, people. No more weekly Ouran fix.
There has been no news of a second season and to be perfectly honest, I don't think there will be. Perhaps in the far, far, far future, but definitely not anytime soon. The anime caught up with some of the most recent manga chapters, and Hatori-sensei does not have enough content for an entire second season anyway.
So NO - there will not be a second season (not yet anyway). Please don't get your hopes up on seeing something anytime soon.
But don't be too sad! There's still the manga! And the manga is ♥. It's currently ongoing with no end in sight (yet). So don't despair! Ouran still lives on in its original form!
But if you want to know - yes, my heart is breaking too.

I have just watched the last ep of, Ouran High School Host Club and now I am depressed such a good series.

If you have never seen Ouran High School Host Club its well worth a watch you dont know what your mising!

Video: Good Night Tex

"I made a song. I own it. How come, when I wirelessly send it to a girl I want to impress, the song has 3 days/3 plays?" Good question. There currently isn't a way to sniff out what you are sending, so we wrap it all up in DRM. We can’t tell if you are sending a song from a known band or your own home recording so we default to the safety of encoding. And besides, she'll come see you three days later. . .

Zune is dead before it even gets off the ground, as talked about here, Zune’s Big Innovation: Viral DRM zune is bacically going to brake the law to protect big bissness, what a load of crap any one who buys one of these things needs their head examning.

Porn Backlash begins

Why is it in this day an age that if you lose a child it suddenly becomes your right to change the laws of this country if you can get enough board house wife's to sign a bit of paper?

A mother whose daughter died at the hands of a man obsessed with violent internet porn has won her fight for a ban on possessing such images.

The government has announced plans to make the possession of violent porn punishable by three years in jail.

because this is going to make us so more safer, not!

This is yet another nee jerk reaction to a problem that does not exist, How is stopping any one from looking at S&M porn going to stop those who would and should be in a mental asylum if not for the fact that the government has cut funding so much that we are now stuck with care in the community.

You only have to read the governments own consultation to see that out of 313 people who where questioned 223 thought the new law was a bad idea.

Their report says about 50,000 people signed a petition asking for these laws. Of those, 90 responded to the consultation in favor, ie excluding organizations - such as GCHQ - who submitted a response. Yet 223 individuals responded against. That suggests a large number of people are privately against the proposals. So this might not be a wise political move for a Government already under broad attack for dismantling civil liberties.

Even the BBC is having to defend its self after being inundated with so many messages against this law that the editors of the Ten o'clock news has had to comment on the official BBC blog.

Out of 71 comments the majority think this law is a bad idea, apart from Liz Longhurst, and here 50k army (most of which probably only signed up because they where ambushed on the street and signed out of pity or guilt, after all why do you sign any thing in the street?) No one thinks this is a good idea.

I have already emailed my MP using writetothem.com I love this site and use it to talk to any of my elected representatives any time I have a problem with he way the country's run, and the best bit is they have written back 100% of the time.

So stopping letting our government get more and more detached from the majority while the vocal minority takes over!

Go and let them know how crap this law is.

• Last.FM, Is way to share you play list's live over the internet as you listen to find new musci based on what your listening to, not to sure if like the idea of every thing I play in winamp showing up in a list Aka porn, but I am willing to give it a go for the time beeing and see how it works.
• netvibes, Is my new home page, I use google.com atm, but tbh I only use becsue nothing better has been around, and I have used the net for over 12 years now. I have yet to find any thing I would actualy use.
  Even with google as my home page I still use the google serch tool bar in Firefox rather than the one on the webage, so its not like I am using it.

It is a system, currently in prototype state, that allows anyone to have their own radio station, broadcasted among wirelessly capable devices, some in cars, in an ad-hoc wireless network. The system can become aware of individual preferences and is able to choose songs and podcasts that people want to hear, on their own devices and car stereos and in devices and car stereos around them.

WiFi router with BitTorrent

The ASUS WL-700gE is a WiFi router. The usual stuff, nowadays. But it is the perfect companion of die-hard file-sharers.

Why? Because the router comes with a 160GB hard drive AND a BitTorrent client. (via p2pnet)

Such a system has two main advantages. First: It keeps downloading big files, podcasts and movies while the PC is switched off.

Second: Chunks of files come to your router and are stored into the hard drive, meaning they don’t need to be transmitted via airwaves to your computer. The WiFi LAN speed should thus be higher, increasing the audio quality and the quality of service of VoIP calls.

I want one cool or what, I have to have my pc in bed room and there is no way I could sleep with it on of a night, this would suit me perfectly.

Democracy Player / Diggnation

I have had Democracy player for a while now, but did not really start using it till the new version came out and you could chosse where to save the videos and not just be stuck saving them on your C: drive.

Its a great program since using it I have stopped watching TV alltogether! Thou to be fair all I have watched is the 57 eps of Diggnation at 30 mins each its take up some time, Diggnation rocks!

Diggnation is based of Digg also well worth a look, If you have not seen or heard off it you have to go check it out.

There is however litrally hundreds of channels on Democracy player, if you want to watch it there is some one out there making it.

PS3 Interface

This is beeing touted as first look at the PS3 interface and I have to say it looks nice, but is prity much the same as the PSP one. I have ps2 but only ever used it to play Soulcalibur II, so not sure if i going to drop out for a PS3 yet, unless there is a Soulcalibur III.

Plain Old BullShit

Ok in the last post you had to make up your own bullshit, but at www.therecordbreakingdomain.com 25 year old, Andres Kello. Will do it all for you, who the hell is going to pay him $12 million for that domain?

What worse is he is already giving the cash away as prize's to try and get people to link to him on the condition that some one actual pays him the 12 mil. I feel sorry for any one stupid enuth to get sucked in to that, never mind any one stupid enuth to pay him 12 mil for that domain, but saying that if you got a spare 12 mil lieying around and any old domain will do......

Stop Motion Animation

Some times you just have to ask your self why?

London Motor Show

I Just got back from the London Motor show at Excel, tbh it was poor, compared to when its been at the NEC, I relies Birmingham does not have the same international cache as London, but the show was so poor in London it was hardly worth putting on.

Never mind the fact that placing the show in London puts it an extra 300 miles from me, or that to get there you have to go by train so have to book everything 5 to 6 weeks in advance so it only cost £12 rather than £120.

It take's real planning to be able to go to the London show and two days, at least with Birmingham you could drive down in the morning and drive home again for £50 for the lot of you, not £60 each London now does.

The stands where smaller and the show poorer only two cars compared to the 30 or 40 that where in the live action show at the NEC.

You can view the pics of the trip here.

If you have ever played Soduku you know how addictive it is, well now there is FMA version, Can you finish the transmutation cycle?

Bill Mudron's cornucopia of frou frou miscellany

I found Bills work while look for the mario image below completely by accident. But its well worth a look, I really like his style on some of his work, thou some of its a bit to experimental for my liking.

But Our Princess Is In Another Castle!

But Our Princess Is In Another Castle! is a compilation of various artist's renditions of the score from Super Mario Bros. by Koji Kondo.

I am in remix mode to day while I have like an hour of free time, God I am just so busy these days, WTF did a social life come from, what happened to 24/7 wired life?

Ukulele Orchestra of Great Britain

After showing a few peeps the Boten Anna video, they came back with the Ukulele Orchestra of Great Britain playing Nirvana's teen spirit.

It would be a far worse world if I kept this to my self so enjoy, and go out and spread the love.

Lego GumGun

I remember when I was a kid and used to build stuff out of lego, Now I made my fair share of cool space ships and two hulled planes and such (there sill intact some where in a box in the loft), But I dont think I ever made anythign as cool as this.

Boten Anna

I love Krazy Euroe tunes, and this one has to be my new Fav, The orignal video is a bit poo.

But personnly my Fav has to be the one below. I just love the guy in the red T-shirt he is haveing so much fun with it!




The best bit is that you can Dl the mp3 for free right off the Boten Anna web site, you can also see all the other Video remixs peeps have done.

Thanks to boing boing for the link.

The flying Car

It would apear that from now on you can expect to be spammed with video clips.

O and if any one can tell me the name of the track that is used for the "Nija's make their own FMV's" Joke would be apreaciated. If you know the band even better :P

Tsubasa Chronicles

I found the Tsubasa Chronicles completey by accident on one of my go mad follow every link kind of days (that used to be every day but now not so much), Bascially there was such an up roar about the ending of Cardcaptor Sakura from CLAMP.

This new manga series by CLAMP has an interesting plot of its own, but it also has many references to other CLAMP characters from previous works; a type of alternate universe story. Examples of crossover characters include Mokona & Rayearth from Magic Knight Rayearth, Chii from Chobits, and Sakura, Syaoran, Touya, Yukito, and Tomoyo from Cardcaptor Sakura. (One large note to keep in mind: This is NOT a sequel to Cardcaptor Sakura)

Some chapters cross over with chapters from XXXHolic. CCS characters look older, but the resemblances are still there. Sakura is a princess of a country, while Syaoran is the son of the late archaeologist Fujitaka. Touya rules as king of the country, and Yukito is the priest. Syaoran is the "chosen one" though, while Sakura has her own secret, magical powers. They are unaware of the trouble that will soon befall the two though...

I love this show, and the best bit is that its avaible on YouTube!

I love Fye, in so many anime these days the lead chars talk and talk and talk about them selfs to the point that you knew them better than your mum and dad. Its nice not to know everythign about them int he first 2 eps.

Gnarls Barkley at the MTV awards - Special Star Wars edition

I do not know why they are wearing Star Wars outfits… maybe to just show that they are crazy. You just have to love the Chewwie drummer though.

Anime

You just have to check out this guy's work over on ping mag.

While you at it have a look at the paper robots they rock!

Ping mag has g8 pod cast to, thou most of them tend to be presentations in Japanese with two translators explaining what's going on. Unless your really in to your Art and design, you may find them a bit heavy.

I find the pauses in translation infuriating, just because they make every thing sound so good I want to know what their are talking about.

It's To orangy for crows

Blast from the past.

The Cow and the Spoon

Hey, diddle, diddle!
The cat and the fiddle,
The cow jumped over the moon;
The little dog laughed
To see such sport,
And the dish ran away with the spoon.

ok so I was talking about this to a dutch man, and I serched the net for a copy for him and every copy had the word sport.

Now when i was a kid I always remeber the line beeing "To see such funt" I am i wong or is it jsut "sport" in the U.S.A?
