More Cowbell!

Possibly the greatest use of the internet ever.... MoreCowbell.dj.

They're getting totally hammered at the moment, but here's an example...

PS: The LHC was fired up and we're still here. Don't tell me the scientists know what they're doing!

This `science` they speak of shall kill us all!!

Some thoughts...

  1. Anyone who thinks that the world will end when they flip on the Large Hadron Collider in a few hours is an idiot.
     
  2. Anyone who goes to the trouble of sending death threats to scientists to try and stop them turning on the Large Hadron Collider is doubly an idiot.
     
  3. Anyone who thinks that transposing the 'r' and 'd' to turn the Large Hadron Collider into the Large Hardon Collider is clever is triply an idiot.
     

That is all.

PS: Don't even get me started on the 2012 crowd.

Updates and Dragons

Friday August 29th 2008

Spent a good deal of time today coding in data for a company who somehow think they're going to corner the UK real estate market from here in Perth. I have no idea how this is supposed to work, but I now know more about the English County system than any sane human should (did you know there was a short lived Avon County? No? Did you need to know there was a short lived Avon County? No?).

I also discovered the Dragons page has been missing from the site for a while. Happily I have a backup, so it's been restored. I have no idea what happened to it - maybe Games Workshop hacked into the server and deleted it? :)

Finally the FreakAngels Google Earth file has (again) been updated.

Eels!

Tuesday August 26th 2008

I finally manged to do something I've been intending to for ages last night, and caught an episode of The Mighty Boosh. I've been hearing good things about it for quite a while, but it's never been on (as far as I know) at a decent time. Last night though SBS had it on at 9:00, so I checked it out.

What was it like? Well, the phrase "a screaming bag of madness" springs to mind. It was like my TV had suddenly started picking up signals from the alternative universe and was showing things beyond the comprehension of those us limited to a mere four dimensions. It was a cavalcade of unrelenting insanity, leaving the viewer (ie: me) with a shocked and confused impression of flying carpets, gorillas, flamingo legged pop-stars, pink squid-head things, terrifying green cockneys, and eels.

Needless to say I shall definitely be tuning in next week :)

And to share the love - Eels!
