Party like it’s 1993

Monday, January 25th, 2010

Ever thought that, well, you can do too much with your PC or Mac? It’s just *too* powerful.

Do you long for a simpler time when Minesweeper was the cutting-edge of games and overlapping program windows were a revelation?

You need the Windows 3.11 emulator :-)

Why people spend hours doing these things is beyond us sometimes… but we’re glad they do.

And all done in javascript… not even a whiff of Flash. Good work fella.

Interesting… but I don’t see Clapton playing one

The jury’s still out as to whether we want one… or will stick with the “boring old strings” of our usual guitars.

Star Wars v The A Team

Monday, December 28th, 2009

It’s the Christmas break, so we’re enjoying spending some time surfing the interweb and finding interesting things for the blog. :-)

Like us, you’ve probably wondered what a mashup between Star Wars and The A Team would look like.

One political cause we can all get behind.

Right, so Joe’s the winner of this year’s The X Factor and his cover of the Hannah Montana/Miley Cyrus song “The Climb” is odds on favourite to be Christmas Number One.

Or not… if the 707,390 (plus us) members of a Facebook Group have anything to do with it. We’ll all be buying copies of Rage Against the Machine’s “Killing in the name of”.

Warped Muppet genius

Wednesday, November 25th, 2009

Maybe you have to be of a certain age – mid to late 30s or above – to maintain a soft spot for the Muppets when you’re well into your adult life.

Or maybe quality endures? ;-)

No idea what’s going on here to be honest – but we do like it!

Doctor Who v Top Gear

Tuesday, November 17th, 2009

Sad and geeky? Ooooh yes. But also very funny.

A mash-up of David Tennant’s visit to Top Gear as “the star in a reasonably-priced car” and various flights of the TARDIS.

A spin-off too far?

Sunday, November 1st, 2009

Ok, we admit it – we like Doctor Who in the office. There we’ve said it.

And, as far as they go, the two spin-offs from “Nu Who” (as it’s known in certain circles) have been ok: “Torchwood” for the grown-ups and “The Sarah Jane Adventures” for the kids.

But K-9 the series?!

Here’s the trailer… make up your own mind…
