Youtube increases sales of Monty Python

Jan 252009

According to a post on slashdot:

“Apparently it with the release of all of Monty Python’s material on YouTube, their sales have blown through the roof on Amazon.com. It is too bad there isn’t any proper news article about this, but I think it bodes well for those who champion free content. More importantly, it forces the MPAA’s feet into their mouths.”

In the famous spam video, vikings will say spam so loud you can’t hear the conversation anymore, hence spam mail.

Shoes for Bush

Dec 162008

Boingboing has the following very funny article:

Got an old pair of shoes lying around, waiting to be used in a ritual gesture of disrespect? Send ‘em to the GW Bush liberry so they can put them on the My Pet Goat shelf.

Knetwalk

Nov 032008

While waiting for a new rebuild of KDE from subversion I usually waste way too much time on Knetwalk. It’s a fun little game where you need to connect all the pcs to the net (the world symbol).

And just for the ego factor: my current high score is 55 seconds for a ‘hard’ game (171 points).

A new geek toy – Nabaztag

Oct 292008

Just saw this lovely machine on TV. It is a Wireless enabled rabbit with rather good speech.

You can send messages to the rabbit or ask it questions. It will connect to different services. It also has the ability to interact through a couple of lamps and by moving its ears.

Wonderful!
