Yes, they did…

Really tired this morning – stayed up very late to watch the early results – I went to bed when Obama had reached about 100 electoral college votes and things looked good.

And I wake up this morning – to this feeling…

…great news – well done America!

My computer can read your mind…

Check this amazing video out – just two and half minutes, and I guarantee you will say ‘wow’ at the end…

Gordon Brown gives it to us straight

Absolutely brilliant and scarily accurate remix of Gordon Brown at the Labour Party Conference – from the brilliant cassetteboy. (via)

Horrible, horrible, little man.

 

No more words for this one…I hope he gets humiliated at the polls in return.

Sad Guys on Trading Floors

I can’t add a caption to this that could possibly make it any more hilarious.

I’m so pissed I didn’t think of this meme earlier – a great tumble log showing reactions from trading floors as the sky falls around them!

Well, shit.

How an engineer folds a shirt…

This is very very geeky, but a cool accurate way to fold a shirt…I can think of someone in my life who would appreciate these perfectly rectangular shirts.

Lipstick on a pig…

Sky thinks I’m in France…

I was watching the Sky Sports ScoreCenter, from the hotel in Bellevue, WA this morning… and it was serving me up French banner ads… how strange!

Contextual Advertising Fail!

The Guardian thoughtfully advertising holidays on the broke down, on fire, Eurostar.

Ooops.

Interesting project to watch via the BBC

The BoxThe BBC has kicked off an interesting project to track a shipping container as it travels around the world.

‘The Box’ (I can already hear Orbital) has been sprayed in BBC livery, and fitted with a GPS tracker. TV, Radio and Online content will be produced to track the container, which will be fed into the global supply and used for normal cargo.

BBC correspondents stationed globally will be used to report as the container moves around, building up an interesting picture of the land and sea covered by our goods. This appeals to my inner geek – and also sparks a lot of interest in globalisation.

You can track the box at the BBC minisite dedicated to the project, and there is even a photo competition attached to the project.
