These would either be very good or very bad. I can’t quite decide. I’m sure the addition of Marmite would help though.

Great chart showing the words people of different ages & sexes use to describe themselves on last.fm. The “about me” on my last.fm profile is blank…
I officially have no clue what any of the teenagers are talking about. No surprise really.
More details (and indeed more charts) on the last.fm blog.

BBC News - Tech Know: BBC Micros used in retro programming class
“Unforgiving interface”?! Acorn DFS. That’s the disk file system version, cassette tape was unforgiving!
I love the clip from Micro Live - I remember the show all too well, I’d love the BBC put more of it up on iPlayer.

The Most Fun a Grocery Store Ever Had: Super Mario Soda Display
Fabulous. Twenty years ago I was stacking boxes of cakes on pallets for Mr Kipling. Different size boxes had different layouts to be followed to best utilise the pallet space. Everybody else stacked the boxes up layer by layer, but my pallets usually resembled mountain ranges until I dropped the last few boxes into place. The manager who came round every hour to record how many boxes had been packed gave up trying to count my pallets herself after a while.

Door Sixteen » Lily flower rain chain.
I’ve never heard of a rain chain before. What a great alternative to a boring drainpipe! Am trying to think where we could use something like this, we aren’t short on gutters that don’t work very well at our house.

This looks simply amazing! Pity it’s all the way over in Japan, I’d love to visit it.

“This shirt is also useful in the event of apocalypses!”
I’d like to think that I’d be reasonably good at bringing the good bits of modern life to a back in time world but this shirt would certainly help. Would I get burnt at the stake though?
