English Hothouse Cucumbers, and other innapropriate forms of measurement

Maija subscribed us to a number of pregnancy emails regarding the development of our baby. We get a couple of emails each week, updating us with how big the baby may be, and providing advice and various pieces of information.

Firefox 3 still chews the memory

It seriously does. I provide the following as evidence. This was taken when I had 10 or so tabs open, usual stuff, Gmail, and some other generally light browsing.

Building of the Lego minifigs

One of things I’m most looking forward to about having a baby is the unavoidable Lego, once the baby levels-up to child.

Marty McFly’s 2015 Nikes coming to a store near you, in 2008

Came across this this morning, via Engadget. Nike is *almost* bringing Marty’s shoes from 2015 back to the past.
See what I did there?
Anyway. Check it. And then get yourself a copy of the book Jennifer Government, which I just finished reading. It’s a superb piece of fiction, examining an Orwellian style future-present where corporations, not [...]

nakedpastor

I’ve just added nakedpastor.com to my feeds. I read a few of his recent posts and very much enjoy his perspectives. Here’s some of his artwork that I find particularly brilliant:

And a book review:
I just finished studying Frank Viola’s and George Barna’s recent book, Pagan Christianity: Exploring the Roots of Our Church Practices. I want [...]

30 dumbest videogames ever

CNET UK has a well funny article on the 30 dumbest videogames ever made.
Enjoy.

I’m a Marvel, and I’m a DC
