The Need to Know Newsletter; fortnightly, unstoppable tech news. Partially responsible is Danny O'Brien, who has a great blog, oblomovka (respect), and (I'm pretty sure) who also writes a superb column in Linux User Magazine.
Unusually talented; a geek with a real life and sense of humour about everything. Top, well-informed irreverence sir!

So, we've been away for a few weeks, doing some travelling. We've therefore watched quite a few movies on airplanes, and two stood head and shoulders above the rest.
My pick of the bunch is Garden State, which was written, directed by and starred Zach Braff of "Scrubs" fame. It's a really gentle, touching and funny film - top marks.
The second film that we really enjoyed was I Heart Huckabees, which is a bit weird and kooky, but ultimately very enjoyable. When you've watched it, you can check out the Huckabees website, which will then make more sense to you.
The film I didn't see all the way through that I want to watch now is Napoleon Dynamite, which looked really interesting and strange, until the jet-lag mugged me and made me sleep through the last three-quarters of it.
