JohnBlackbourn.com still comes top when you Google for john blackbourn. lud.icro.us currently sits in third place, below a page about me on Britblog.com. Wonder how long it will be before lud.icro.us rises to the top, if ever?…

If you’re a fan of zefrank then you’ll like this. It’s a video of a guy sitting in front of a camera telling you he’s a robot. It’s funny and it could be quite convincing if you’re, er, gullible.
Watch him show off the radio in his finger, bend a one million pound rod of titanium, […]

Get these great pictures of some ducks looking rather attitudinal while being fed down at the pond. This duck looks like he’s about to say "Don’t even think about coming any closer with that!"

Garden State. One of my all-time favourite films, due in no small part to the wonderous soundtrack which sounds really great when you listen to it with your ears.

So I’ve had my Nokia 7280 for just over 2 weeks now. I loved it at first - for about two hours - until I decided to write a text message on it. Dear God, it was awful. Took me about 10 minutes I think, because it has no number or letter keys on […]
