We haven’t struck gold in space and my car radio isn’t solar powered at all, at least we have the home computers that was predicted in the 1979 book, The Usborne Book of the Future: A Trip in Time to the Year 2000 and Beyond.
Iambic 5 Poetry is the standout track from this 1999 mini masterpiece from Tom Jenkinson. This record is also from his jazzy, saccharine sweet phase, complete with soft pianos and tinkling ting-tings. The whacky and the weird rhythms and the pointless, insular ramblings are still there, they’re just eveloped by a nicer, newer combination ...
An awesome video made purely in 3D for Radiohead… processing anyone?
The Wife and I just got back from a good five-day holiday at Koh Lanta. It’s a quaint, unspoilt and sparsely populated island in the south of Thailand.

Funny idea for a glass design, though I would sniff the drink before consuming from a glass like this.
Threadless is having a $5-ish sale now – time to go get some tees! I’m also digging their new URL structure that allows me to link directly to their $5 T-shirts, $10 T-shirts and $15 T-shirts. Nicely done…
This is only the second Coldplay record I have in my possession. Someone gifted me the sappy, moody but not-really-that-bad Parachutes album many years ago, and I bought Viva La Vida, Or Death and All His Friends because the cover invoked a bizarre feeling of optimism in me. Even more bizarrely, I also bought it, ...
We’ve seen evidence for this water-ice before in observations by the Mars Odyssey orbiter and in disappearing chunks observed by Phoenix last month, but this is the first time Martian water has been touched and tasted.›› A researcher from the the NASA Phoenix mission
The beauty of football is you have some values, you have the teams, you have the fans, you represent something important and you are not a travelling circus.›› Michel Platini on the crazy English League ‘export’ idea
“Cabin Sparrow” would be a superhero with a superuseless superpower.
The time of getting fame for your name on its own is over. Artwork that is only about wanting to be famous will never make you famous. Any fame is a by-product of making something that mea …
