This Is Why People Like Google

People don’t like Google just because they make great products. It’s the fact that they don’t mind developers taking time and effort to just have fun as well. Like leaving presents and tracking Santa. Where’s the Virtual Earth santa tracker, hmm? See, that’s the difference.

What the bloody hell’s going on with all these dum de dum posts? That was me playing
around, trying to get something to work. I think I have now.
If you’d really like to know what (it involves email, and posting, and
moveabletype), then read on…

Let’s try this.

They’ll Investigate Any Old…

Of course we all know the restroom etiquette rules but Improbably Research points out that there have actually been at least two studies into real life bathroom behaviour. Of course there is plenty of scope for further research, particularly into how well the etiquette rules apply. The studies dealt with stalls, not urinals for a start. It will obviously be important whether the stalls are single sex are not. One imagines there may be an difference between an odd and even number of stalls. And careful control would have to be made for subtle, or not so subtle differences, between options (is the door lock broken?)
Best line from the Guardian column: For reasons that are now obscure, he recorded the amount of faeces that accumulated
. Because obviously it’s just the sort of thing you decide to do one day…
Update: See, I told you it left a lot of questions open.

Torchwood, Episode Episode 9, Random Shoes (one time known as Invisible Eugene), er, review. Spoilers ahead
The Best Gadget Of All Time
Posted into:
on December 9 2006 at 19:12
I just misread a headline of digg. It talks about the 15 best bond gadgets but I read it simply as 15 best gadgets. In a flash of what I like to think of as inspiration but may simply be seeing the blindingly obvious I knew what the best gadget is. The thing more ubiquitous than an iPod, that virtually everyone has. So good many people have more than one and always have their gadget with them. So good it’s been changed and extended, even to the point Bond himself gets a special one; made more beautiful, or more ugly, but still remains at its heart identical to what it’s always been. So bloody good that you probably don’t even see it as being a gadget but ask yourself what else it is. Ladies and gentlemen I give you the humble wrist watch
