Indestructible mobile phone
Well, sort of. The LG Secret can withstand fire and knocks and stabbing and all sorts of other abuse, as this video demonstrates… Click the images at the bottom for other videos. One of them is Uptown Girl. Hurrah!

01254 277054
Yeah, it’s another one of those numbers again. Got a call in the wee hours this morning, but didn’t answer. From the look of Who Calls Me, it’s another (or possibly the same) scamming company trying to swindle me by selling me a phone contract. 01254277054 – who calls me?
Hello balloonatics!
I’ve suddenly had a big influx of visitors, due to the Orange Balloon Race thing currently going on. That’s what the floating raccoon thing was for in the bottom right corner of my site. So hello to all those passing through! I’m in the race myself, as you can see:
Look into my eyes
Quite literally, look into my eyes. Vision Express finally emailed me these photos of my eyes. And they really are quite impressive!¬¨‚Ć Thankfully, there’s nothing wrong, although I wasn’t really expecting there to be. I just thought ¬¨¬£10 for some ace photos of inside me was a bargain!
Fillum review: Rat Race (2001)
They don’t make films like this any more. Well, not often. In the 80’s, they made loads of “zany madcap chase” films, but you just don’t see them these days. Rat Race is silly. It’s over the top nonsense. Every situation is contrived, the few special effects are awful, and I have no idea why they cast Rowan Atkinson as an Italian. But… it was funny. Some bits were absolute genius too – the build up of Jon Lovitz’s character …
Meebox
Adam Buxton (of Adam and Joe, and Best Death In Hot Fuzz fame) is doing a new TV show for BBC3. Stuff like this: Amaze!

This is Dunny and Woody (wot who rite Spectrum emulators and stuff) at ORSAM a few years ago. It was a Sinclair-based retro geek show. I, uh, went for the food.
Photos from the archives #1
I’ve been sorting all my old photos out today, importing them into iPhoto and stuff. So I thought I’d post some. This is the world’s smallest table football game. Amaze!
Missing IMCE upload button on TinyMCE on Drupal 6
I was asked to fix a problem with an IMCE/TinyMCE/Drupal 6 for someone today. Basically, the upload button wasn’t appearing in the popup box when you click the image icon on the TinyMCE toolbar.¬¨‚Ć This has happened to me before, on Drupal 5.x, and was because I hadn’t given the relevent users permission to use IMCE, or configured IMCE to be used with TinyMCE. In the new version of IMCE, the latter option is no longer available, and everything else …
Spectrum Adventures in Wii Homebrew
It would seem that the Wii Homebrew “scene” has now matured to the point where not only are fully working games, apps and emulators now available, but there’s a modchip-free way of installing them. You stick a hacked Zelda save game on your Wii, load the game, and it crashes allowing some code to run. This installs the amazing “Homebrew Channel” on your Wii. There are loads of things you can do with it, but, as is my “thing”, the …
Fillum review: Dogma (1999)
I’m a relative latecomer to Kevin Smith films. I’ve seen Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back, and know of (and have seen bits of) the others, but for some reason have never got round to watching the rest. So I saw Dogma today. The plot is suitably far-fetched. A down-the-line relative of Jesus is charged with the task of preventing two misguided fallen angels from unintentionally bringing about the end of everything, while God is missing, presumed dead, following a …
