OPINION: Gorillaz CD copy protection sucks
My wife got the the new Gorillaz CD for her birthday. You know, the one that has a song featured in the iPod ad.

We are long time fans of Josh Whedon (yes, we own all the Buffys, and Michele has a poster of Angel hanging behind the office door…) and we are now totally hooked on Firefly. I’ve been totally hooked on Tristan’s blog for ages - one of my [...]

Back from holidays and feeling great. Spent close to two weeks with my sister-in-law’s family (my wife’s sister and her husband and their 17 month year daughter who is soooo cute). I get on really well with my brother-in-law so it was a great time. They are visiting from Zurich (you may remeber we stayed [...]

I know the Scoble interview with Bill G has been getting heaps of links (and is very interesting), but I reckon the pick of late has to be the Eric Rudder video (the direct download link is here). He even mentions FoxPro in passing (around the 4:25 mark). (The comments have June 2004 datestamps, so [...]
