Link of the Day: Help Baby Birds

, July 2, 2010

There’s an ad on the subway at the moment for a website called helpbabybirds.ca. Although I don’t remember the exact wording, the ad copy was something like “Do you want to help this baby bird? Should you?” Call me an awful person, but I laughed a little bit. Not only was the copy really vague […]

Babylon Telecom rebooted today

, July 1, 2010

At least, it looks as if Babylon Telecom rebooted today. Their countdown clock is now into negative numbers – well, “negative zero” today, technically – and a new audio track has been embedded. It’s actually a track that I recorded for them four years ago, but whatever. The 365 Days of Hell of Earth blog […]

From Gallifrey to Glastonbury

If you haven’t yet seen the footage of Matt Smith joining Orbital on stage to perform their version of the Doctor Who theme at Glastonbury the other night, then here you go. It’s a good time, and to tell you the truth, it’s great to have Orbital back.

Link of the Day: smartwater

, June 30, 2010

Listen, I don’t want to put Jennifer Aniston down. Not because I don’t want to be mean or because I think she’s a good person, but because I don’t get why anyone ought to be saying anything about her at all in 2010, however positive or negative. It frightens and confuses me that she’s still […]

Currently enjoying “Concentricity” by Stewart Walker

, June 29, 2010

Did you know that most dance music is written in a minor key? Musical theory dictates that it’s the major keys that are supposed to be bright and uplifting, while the minor keys should be reserved for more dramatic or “sad” music. But if you were to make a list of your favourite dance tracks, […]

How would you like to sponsor an AIDS walker again?

, June 29, 2010

Hey, remember when I said I was planning to register for the AIDS Walk for Life again this year? Well, I filled out the paperwork last night, and I’m now in search of sponsors. Many of you were extremely generous last year, and I hope we can all benefit from that generosity again this year. […]

Link of the Day: Generation 21

, June 29, 2010

Every once in a while, I check out an interesting new domain name to see if anyone’s bought it. There was something about this weekend that got me thinking that G21.com might be a worthwhile address to own, but a quick check revealed that it was already taken. Which is fine, because it’s being used […]

Not only is this post obnoxiously cute, but it also features “Doctor Who” spoilers

, June 29, 2010

“So, would you wait for two thousand years for me to come back to life after you’d shot me because you were really a plastic alien?” “Of course,” I said. “Are you just saying that because you know it’s never going to happen and you won’t have to follow through on it?” “Pretty much,” I […]

Three days until the Babylon Telecom reboot

, June 28, 2010

And you know what? Still no news from the company on what it’s going to involve. There’s a frustrating amount of secrecy around the whole thing. But what can you do beyond staying tuned, right?
