I would love to be involved in something like this. These guys 
spend 5 hours arranging post-it notes in the shape of a scene from Donkey Kong. That takes quite some dedication. I suppose I just need some inspiration, a bit of planning and a whole heap of post-it notes.
In the meantime I’ll enjoy this one. There are loads of pictures.

I have a lot of fun in my office, but the other day I was getting kind of peeved. I would keep typing on my new Vista PC and weird stuff would happen. I couldn’t work it out but was swearing at Vista. The application would swap accidentally and strange spellings and mistypings (worse than my usual) were apearing. At one point I was tapping the scren and stuff was happening – very strange.
Turns out the guys in the office had plugged a wireless keyboard into the back of my PC where I didn’t notice the connector, asn were having fun playing with that keyboard with all the bizzarre keyboard combinations. Took me far too long to work it out.
Didn’t stop us trying it out on Paul the next day – classic!
But I remember dancing to this when I was at school discos, circa 1985.
I grew up around some pretty imaginative people. For several years my parents helped run a beach mission in St Andrews, and I was one of the kids who got to run around and play with all of the enthusiastic young people running it. I do vividly remember my first Serompie though. I would be about 8 (and incredibly gullible) and I had not been allowed to go to one before I was too scared. It was held in St Martyrs church hall; all the boys were “Seromperiferers” and all the girls were “Seromperiferinas” There were games and the like, but the highlight of the evening were the refreshments.
We were all sat down and told to be very quiet. It was explained to us that the biscuits (gingernuts) we were about to eat were very dangerous, and we couldn’t eat the biscuits without drinking the special safety juice (diluted orange juice with green food colouring), otherwise we’d explode. What on earth convinced me to eat them in the first place I have no clue, but I was totally sucked in.
They wheeled in a borrowed shopping trolley, done up with sheets, as if transporting something very delicate. They may even have been wearing surgical masks. About 10 seconds after they walked in the door an old fashioned alarm clock went off and scared the willies out of me. I was very careful to have a sip of juice with every bite of the biscuit, and miraculously I survived.
I don’t think that issues like this get enough coverage and I, for one, am glad to see this in depth article from Wired magazine on What’s inside Squirt-on Cheese.

The Germans will be loving the latest Hasselhoff video. I lived over there for a year and it was amazing to see the stuff that Germans would watch. Don’t even get me asterted on Schlager Musik.
Being a nerd/geek, I don’t usually get to laugh at other geeks/nerds very much, but these guys are hilarious. Fear of Girls is one of the funniest things I’ve seen on the web.
