The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy -- The Official Movie Website
We're all champing at the bit waiting for this film to come out but in the meanitme, you can keep up to date with the Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy Official Movie blog.

la Molleindustria
Socio-political video gaming doesn't really sound great & I'm not sure quite how an orga5m simulator fits into that description but la Molleindustria has that and many other cool little games.
thanks Imran

Downing Street Fighter game
It's a fairly poor Street Fighter clone but Downing Street Fighter makes up for itby giving you the oppotunity to beat the daylights out of UK politicians such as Blair, Prescott, Hague, Smith, Kennedy, Brown, Clarke, Portillo and Cook but why oh why is there not Blunkett - now that, I'd pay money for.

T33n s3x (or lack thereof)
I remember when I was at school - when we were taught about s3x it was refered to as mating! These days kids are taught how to blow each other off in the name of reducing teen pregnancy!!

A whole new meaning to the word 'bang'
Some poor Romanian chap had his willy blow up during $ex... ow!

Fancy a Petabyte of storage?
If you've ever run out of space on your hard drives then you'll appreciate the Petabox - that's one petabyte of storage in a rack - for the less geeky of you , that's a million gigabytes (most home pcs have about 60-100 Gigabytes). The funniest thing about it is that it boots from a USB keyring! As a side note - this is storage unti was built especially for the Wayback Machine - go and have a cringe at how bad your favourite websites used to look - caution though - you could get seriously addicted.

American Merkin Company
Even the word Merkin is funny - it's just one of those words. The American Merkin Company sell nothing else but I'm having problems working out the Male ones though - maybe I'm weird but last time I looked bloke pubes weren't donut shaped? Maybe it's to keep your balls warm.

YETISPORTS Part4
Woo Yay! YETISPORTS Part4 is out now. This time the Yeti is in Australia on his world tour and you have to launch penguins at albatrosses (albatrossi?) - trust me it's as cool as the rest of the Yeti games.

"Official" Nitendo pics
Nintendo have released picture and details of thier next handheld, Nintendo DS, a dual screen (hence the name) design with more than a nod back to the old days of the Game & Watch.
The inverted commas around official in the title are because I can't quite believe that an already flagging Nintendo would launch an already dated looking console.
Which would you prefer: something that looks like a couple of pocket neo-geos gaffered together or a PSP that looks the badgers-nadgers?

Doom 3 finally set for summer release
No, it's not April 1st - it seems that Doom 3 is finally set for a summer release. Of course I'll believe it when I actually get my hands on a copy.
As usual, no news on Duke Nukem Forever and Half-life 2 unsurprisingly.

How to Change a GFX Card without Invalidating your PC's Warranty
Sweden produces almost as many nutters as Japan (except they're not as small - therefore have less comedy value). The Datadocktor'n team are prime examples of Scandinavian idiocy. In this guide they teach us how to swap your graphics card without invalidating your PC warranty. Once you've stopped laughing then check out the other projects they've done over the years.

Yranoitcid
I knew there was a word for fear of long words. I knew also of the irony inherent within that word. For it is a word that sufferers cannot utter for the word itself contains 15 syllables! But, alas, I couldn't remember it! So off I potter to try and discover a way of reversing the use of a dictionary. Lo, I discover this site amongst many other... simply type in a brief description of the word for which you hunt and it lists off many possibilities. Lovely. (btw, the word is hippopotomonstrosesquippedaliophobia)

Yet another funny bitter jilted husband on eBay
eBay has given us some great laughs at other people's expense - this time it's time to laugh at Lisa Stephens whose ex-husband is selling all of her old stuff on eBay whilst she's away on holiday starting with her knickers! See it quick before it gets taken down.

Blacked-out terms in classified documents can be deciphered
Rather impressively, a couple of bored cryptologists have found a way of deciphering redacted words (the blacked-out ones) in documents released via Freedom of Information acts. There are many of these memos that obfuscate key words to protect sources and this solution to decipher them is alarmingly simple (like all the best ideas).

Alternative Mice
All geeks work with someone who is always complaining about RSI. I fully appreciate the discomfort and pain that this causes but I'm not bothered about that now - what interests me are the alternative input devices that are invented to circumvent the causes of RSI. Take the SmartNav for instance - it's a head-controlled mouse which works by tracking a silver dot on your forehead. This might be a decent device if it didn't make you look like a complete 'tard nodding your head with things stuck to you.
Or then there's the No-Hands mouse which is basically two foot pedals - one for moving and one for clicking. Again I ask, is it too hard to invent something that won't make you the laughing stock at your office. Gives the rest of us a laugh though.

Vintage Sony Walkman Museum
After the good response I got from last week's boombox museum, I thoght I'd go for something on a similar tack - the Vintage Sony Walkman Museum. How many of these babies did you own?

Lodger flash shorts
From what I can make out, Lodger are a Finnish band who've got a rather cool website. It's heavily flash-based but the whole site is really well put together - the videos especially are examples of how best to use Flash as a video - as for the music, it reminds me of Eels which is no bad thing.

SHREK 2
Sorry to be horribly commercial for once but the SHREK 2 website is lovely - you'll lose quite a bit of time wondering about and playing all the little games. Whilst you're there, check out how surreal the soundtrack for the movie is - it's got to be the oddest soundtrack I've ever seen!

Yuebing - the Amazing Balancing Rabbit
YUEBING is a female gray Netherlands dwarf rabbit. Nothing unusual so far until you find out that Yuebing can balance objects on her head. Her owner takes hundreds of photos of this talented rabbit with all sorts of stuff on her head and posts them to this site - just click a few photos at random and see the amazing pile of cr4p that's been stuck on top of her.
