Guy recognised me by my hair and returned my flash drive. GMH moment?
Sort of on the same subject: moved to Live Mesh in lieu of Dropbox.

Be Right Back. Gone Flash Drive Shopping.
Hating myself for forgetting to unplug my flash drive when I left L2 last night. Now I’ve lost almost every bit of work I’ve done since September. I guess it’s a good thing I hadn’t started my third CMS Pro/E+Max assignment yet then.
It’s the perfect excuse for getting a good–looking flash drive though, since I hated how my last lost one looked. Ideally I’d...

Baconnaise has a website!
Apparently Selfridges sells them in the UK.

“Here’s where I go against the [reddit] crowd and say that I’m not a big fan of...”
– Ryan North, aka Dinosaur Comics Guy
Glad that I’m not the only one who makes a distinction between ?! and !?.
I’m conflicted on this. On the one hand, I think it’s necessary to keep the distinction. On the other, the interrobang is just so much neater.

(Shazam)RED →
It’s just regular Shazam Encore with a hint of red — which means the UI is still as ugly as it used to be, and still a tad uglier than Midomi’s — but I still bought it. Damn me and my addiction to love for PRODUCT(RED).

Just watched The Duel on Halo Waypoint. I forgot about The Babysitter which was on two Saturdays ago, so this was my first episode of Halo anime.
The story was weak. Either it didn’t explain itself very well, or I was just too confused to follow it. I think it’s because of the way it constantly jumps back and forth in time. This episode probably sounded good on paper, but was let...

Interesting: electricity in the neighbourhood just went kaput.

– Owl City’s newsletter
I still find it hard to believe that Owl City has made it this big. It’s like watching your own child grow up.
Not that I actually know how that feels since I don’t have any offsprings.

Is it just me, or has the 1 vs. 100 live host gone mute in season 2?
I think those ads are making my Xbox crash as well. It’s happened twice already three times tonight. Not cool.

Markers are more fun than pastels IMHO.

Ha! The sister deleted me from Facebook because I said her campaign poster for something–or–another was “disturbing” and “sends chill down my spine”. Love it.

Was a bit excited to see a Palm Pre for the first time today. Didn’t actually handle it; just saw the back of it. It seemed a bit wider than I imagined.

Get on Board the Love Train →
kapi:
The BBC have an interview up with my absolute favourite London Underground employee, Tim Pinn.
He is the man responsible for all of the lovely little messages on the service boards at the Warwick Avenue tube station.
It’s people like him who bring a bit of cheer to our lives despite all of the other rubbish that goes on around us.

Dear ownedbywilky,
About that race at Sebring on Forza last night: I understand that second place a podium finish in a racing simulator/game matters. I get that. That’s why I’m writing this.
I knew from my rear view mirror that your car was a lot quicker than mine, so I didn’t weave left and right down the back straight trying to block you. Instead, I just let you pass...

If reblogs are called retweets on Twitter, shouldn’t they be called “retumbles” on Tumblr? That way they’re both “RT” for short. Make Tumblr more like Twitter!

O2 Launches Total Connectivity for iPhone... →
Tempting, yes, since O2’s my ISP at home. But this still doesn’t change anything: they’re making an imaginary, arbitrary distinction between iPhone data and laptop–via–iPhone data, when in reality the bits are no different.
