The music video for MGMT’s “Flash Delirium” from their new record “Congratulations”.
Directed by Andreas Nilsson in a nicely Lovecraftian way.

Funny Science Bob clip about how to make a Lava Lamp with water, cooking oil, food colouring and Alka Seltzer.
The geek inside me is champing at the idea of trying it out :þ

Googling late at night always brings amazing stuff.
Yesterday I found CODEORGAN a web based (literally) automatic music generator.

CODEORGAN

From the page’s about:

THE CODEORGAN ANALYSES THE *BODY* CONTENT OF ANY WEB PAGE AND TRANSLATES THAT CONTENT INTO MUSIC. THE CODEORGAN USES A COMPLEX ALGORITHM TO DEFINE THE KEY, SYNTH STYLE AND DRUM PATTERN MOST APPROPRIATE TO THE PAGE CONTENT.

A very big Bravo to the authors and as they say “GO AND MAKE BEAUTIFUL MUSIC TOGETHER.

It is certain now.
Prawns, mussels, clams, lobsters, oysters are all abominations before the Lord!

More or less like gay people.

Leviticus 11:9-12 says:
9 These shall ye eat of all that are in the waters: whatsoever hath fins and scales in the waters, in the seas, and in the rivers, them shall ye eat.
10 And all that have not fins and scales in the seas, and in the rivers, of all that move in the waters, and of any living thing which is in the waters, they shall be an abomination unto you:
11 They shall be even an abomination unto you; ye shall not eat of their flesh, but ye shall have their carcases in abomination.
12 Whatsoever hath no fins nor scales in the waters, that shall be an abomination unto you.

Amazing! Simply amazing.
The Big Lebowski as a Shakespeare play. Someone really should act this one.

Shakespeare

BONNIE: I mean only the wind in thine own maw in this case; blow, then, serve your turn and cool my hot temper.
THE KNAVE: Sayst thou that I must blow upon thy foot, painted lady?
BONNIE: I ask this deed of you thrice now; and that which a damsel craves constantly is the service of a tongue most moved in capability. Look to my foot; I cannot reach that far. Blow, wind!
THE KNAVE: I fear thy charms. Will not thy consort mind If I bestow his lady fair my wind?
BONNIE: Nay, there’s naught for which Oliver carest; He mindeth not, for he’s a nihilist.

(Two Gentlemen of Lebowski, by Adam Bertocci)

The best popup usage I’ve seen so far.

Disable the blocker and just go for it. (Don’t forget to reenable it when you’ve finished)

The smartest game in months. It driven me man for a whole night of play :D
It’s a puzzle platformer, as the author defines it. You have to arrange the areas so that the character can reach the key(s) and then exit through the door. Simply brilliant!

Luton Airport Parkway.
I’m out of the train now. It’s cold. Very. Why Luton is always so cold?
Four flights of stairs. One up. Three down. The gate eats my ticket. It was to LPW not the airport.
One pound and I get a brand new one for the shuttle.
10 minutes ride. 28 past 9.

Check in. There’s just two of us in the queue. Amazing!
The gate closes at 10:45. I packed the backpack by myself. No, I’ve not stuffed my baggage with dangerous mixable chemical compounds or sharp objects.

15 to 10. It’s breakfast time!
The “restaurant” offers a standard english breakfast. With eggs, sausages, hash brown, baked beans, bacon, mushrooms and roasted tomato. They are out of sausages, hash brown and tomatoes. Let’s check M&S.
BLT & a pint of orange juice. Rigorously freshly squeezed. Everything is soooo organic in here. Very “Everywhere” :D

The sandwich is good as usual. The orange juice too. I’m erethic perhaps but don’t actually get the difference between organic and “plain old (cheap) crap”.
There’s a Caffè Nero outside. Just close to the public ashtrays in the smoking zone. An espresso please, double. It’s warm. Reassuring in the cold outside. Matches well with the cigarette.

10:15. Let’s go to the departure gates. Boarding card check. Security check. No, I have no liquids. No, there’s no laptop in the backpack. My pockets are empty. My belt, the phones, the wallet, the coin holder and my frontal lobes are in the tray. Yes, I’ll take off my boots.
Nothing beeps. I gather my stuff and move on.
The lounge. A bench. The departure informations panel. “Wait in Lounge”. Waiting. 12 to 11. Now.
