Coupla podcast-tastic things happening, both of which have sweary bits. Woo. First, myself and some of the LugRadio IRC/forum regulars started up hashlugradio , to discuss topics brought up in episodes of LugRadio, but also brought up by the community members. We cranked out a first test episode and released it last week — it's […]
Just sifting through some tech stories on the BBC News site this morning, and chatting about it to folk on IRC, there are some reporting discrepancies that really wound me up. Hey, what's new; I love railing on the BBC for minor screw-ups, but for BBC News to get things wrong like this doesn't bode […]
Well, looks like one of ThinkGeek's excellent 2003 April Fools — the George Foreman USB iGrill — is still wreaking havoc amongst the gadget blogging community. Not only did Wired's Gear Factor ( cached copy ) pick up this from mobilemag.com ( cached copy ) as though new — Wired, newsflash, it's over three years […]

A UK games site has decided to start taking pre-orders for PS3 units, just as hideous […]
Die Hard 2: Die Harder was on itv2 last night, so this was a nice bit of serendipity — Kevin Smith has published the comp artwork for the cover of the forthcoming An Evening With Kevin Smith 2: Evening Harder DVD: He's never looked cooler†. Absolute genius, can't wait. † ... well, as cool as […]
Glasgow Herald: Why the Pope Should Visit Ibrox : isn't it obvious? The International Society of Flying Pig Watchers needs somewhere to hold their inaugural meeting. Harry Reid makes some sensible points, but let's face it – it's hardly going to happen, is it?
