Spaces won’t let me embed Comedy Central videos, just visit their website to see the lates Daily Show and Colbert Report.

Silliness:

Don’t print out unnecessary crap, use this product instead.

I want this T-Shirt; in fact I want any T-Shirt from threadless pretty much.

It’s a video day today, just gotta love comedycentral’s website.

Love this video:

Ebayer determined to leave silly feedback for everyone, still quite funny.

You can say what you like about open source software developers, at least they’re honest.

Geekiness:

Someone understands, Microsoft don’t win because they’re evil, they win because their stuff works – and you don’t need to spend months finding out which version you should use.

I especially like the part where the varnish is applied – blink and you’ll miss it.

I probably wouldn’t bother mentioning this story, except I was reading it thinking "That looks like Salcombe, and the property prices are just about high enough." Well, it was Kingswear, so close enough for me.
