Barney's blog. Just a load of old shite really.

Tuesday, December 11, 2007

Sheez, life is busy. Another month-long interlude on the blog. I keep seeing stuff that is interesting, and thinking "Oh, I'll blog that", but then good old life gets in the way and it all goes out the window.
Anyway, check out the Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster. Interesting. Funny. Controversial. Probably about a month behind the rest of the blogosphere, but worth a looksee.
Next, the Amazon Kindle is apparently a genuinely good stab at an eBook device (at least, according to Steve Gibson), and I'm kind of interested to see how this pans out as I am a geek what reads on occasion.
Finally, and to complete today's random trio of links, I have found frixo to be a hugely useful tool when needing to know how the traffic is on the motorways near where I live. The simple map view is really, really handy when you're 5 minutes late out the door and need the info quickly.
Oh, and the quick iPhone update is that it's missing search and cut/copy/paste, which drives me nuts on occasion, but is still the most awesome device to have in your pocket. I just came home cross-country on the train, and was e-mailing, texting, calling, surfing and watching video all the way. It genuinely wasn't until using it like this that I really got it; although I loved it before, I am now well and truly hooked.
