After a 14 month climb, Nasa’s Spirit rover has reached the top of a hill it was climbing and sent back a photo. Unfortunately, the photo looks just like every other photo of Mars I’ve seen: dry, dusty and rocky. Okay, it’s in colour where the Viking one’s weren’t, but a bit of Photoshop could …
I thought I would finally settle the question of “Who’s more skill” between myself and my business partner Darren Beale (co-director of Exponetic) with a Googlefight. Initial results were promising: ‘karl bunyan skill’ vs ‘darren beale skill’ gives me 12,700 results and Darren only 5,920, making me nearly twice as skill. However, putting quotes around …
There aren’t many pubs I’d ever say this about, but I can honestly say I never want to go back to this pub again. The place doesn’t look too bad, and there’s space to stand outside, close to Oxford Circus, but the bar staff are absolutely the worst I’ve ever come across anywhere. The wait …
I spent yesterday evening in the Soho Thai on St Anne’s Court, just off Dean Street. I’ve never noticed it before but it’s quite a small, unassuming place, especially given its location in Soho. Apparently it’s part of the Thai Square chain, but chain restaurants have never bothered me as long as the food’s good …
This useful little program called the MSN 7 Universal Patcher++ v0.8 is invaluable if, like me, you get really annoyed with the crap that Microsoft ads to every new version of MSN messenger. Since there’s no option to remove the search bar, or the little banner, this piece of software does it for you by …
Spurs have hit the transfer market at the last minute, signing the Polish striker Rasiak from Derby, Jermaine Jenas from Newcastle (who I guess have to pay for Owen somehow), and Lee Young-Pyo from PSV Eindhoven. It’s quite a strong midfield now and it’s going to be interesting to see how competition between Rasiak and …
More action in the premiership transfer market, taking some of my team away (again). The Telegraph Fantasy Football password for Wednesday August 31st, for anyone who’s in the same need, is LUCKY. My team has been doing pretty well over the past week and a half, largely due to me giving up on Wayne Bridge …
It was a pretty poor performance with virtually nobody wanting to take a shot at goal from anywhere. Plenty of passing around midfield, and plenty of running around in circles, but the Shrewsbury keeper only had to make two saves despite numerous chances in and around the area. The result is a little unfair as …
I liked this story about a human Cannonball being shot over the Mexican border. The whole family seem to be into it. his son, two daughters and a cousin are all regularly fired from one of five cannons they own It might be art, but it’s still pretty silly.
This is a good story about a guy called Michael Larsen who entered an American quiz show called “Press Your Luck” and managed to work his way up to a record prize. Press Your Luck
