The Duh

Posted on October 3, 2007 by Arthur

I think I saw the announcement of the new Boing-Boing TV on MetaFilter or Reddit, I can’t remember (Oh wait, it was via Laughing Squid). I generally have no problems with videocasts (For example, I always enjoyed watching ‘Rocketboom with … Continue reading →

Posted on October 2, 2007 by Arthur

We’re going through some sort of ‘heatspell’ (if you can call it that way) with temperatures ‘clocking around’ the 20 degrees. Which is generally good, but then, the temperature has been going down fast at night: a couple of nights … Continue reading →

It Came From OuterSpace11

Posted on September 22, 2007 by Arthur
