Star Trek Movie Quick Recognition Chart


I just saw this on Digg and it is awesome-a handy flow chart style guide to the Star Trek films.

Having re-watched Insurrection at the weekend, I definitely agree that this chart works!

Props to www.lukemckinney.org for this 🙂

Star Trek Rap


I love this track-it shows a great knowledge of Star Trek but with a brilliant hip-hop twist! Regardless of your feelings towards Star Trek and/or Hip-Hop-you’ve gotta love this 🙂 The use of samples from the show is a great touch…

Warning, lyrics are NSFW…

Shout out to MS Prime Directive and Galaxy Class!

Modern Day Samurai


This might be the most off topic thing I’ve posted on here so far but it’s awesome. This guy Isao  Machii is a master of the sword-cutting string beans horizontally, slicing moving bullets in half and all sorts! Also, the “English Subtitles done by a Japanese speaker” are brilliant 🙂

Google Search Suggestions


As you’ve probably noticed, Google has recently started to suggest auto-completes for your searches…at first this annoyed me but now I quite like it. Not so much because it saves me an all important 0.75 seconds when searching but because it’s a great source of amusement; seeing what has been searched for, and how many people have used that search is brilliant! Here are some examples:

Not by using the internet!

Looks like some people have watched Twilight too much!
Looks like some people have watched Twilight too much!

There are quite a few more just using “how to”…some surprisingly rude, (although with it being the internet perhaps not that surprising!) which I decided not to put up here.

This is another favourite of mine:

That bloomin' Matt!
That bloomin' Matt!

Is this the same “Matt” who keeps getting lost or does this show that all people called Matt are no good at being on time?!

One thing I find a little odd (what with it being the internet) is that “porn” doesn’t come up with any suggestions…I was at least expecting to see “How to become a porn star” but no! However, there are 54,000 searches for:

Cheap Transition metals...

I’d love to see what great examples you can find 🙂

Flutter-The New Twitter?


Are Tweets too long for you? Do Twitters 140 characters weigh you down? Would you rather Flap than Tweet?

If so-Flutter could be the hot new thing for you:

 

Although just a joke, this does say something about the way things are going…and certainly how people not “with it” perceive sites like Twitter.

The big question is-how long until this becomes real?!

You are Daft Punk!


Nice One to Steve for this-become a mini-daft punk with your keyboard!

iDaft lets you make Daft Punk stylee tracks just by pressing buttons…I like YHIKOS…try it for yourself here.

IE 8 Video


This new video for Internet Explorer 8 was introduced at MIX 09 (the MS Web conference) and it’s pretty fantastic…the “Gentleman” is quality!

Billy Idol White Wedding-Literal Video


It’s been a while but Dustin has finally given the world a new Literal Video, this time Billy Idol’s “White Wedding”.

Doesn’t seem to be onYouTube so I can’t embed it but you can peep it over at Funny or Die.

It’s pretty funny and has some excellent moments but I don’t think it’s the best one…I think that is the Tears for Fears video…

Geek Ties


I saw this post over at Geekologie and I have to admit, it is pretty cool…Geek Ties:

As you can see from the pic, there are 4 versions available:

  • Space Invaders
  • Asteroids
  • Tetris
  • Pong

and they’re all available from Amazon.com for $24.95 but I don’t know what the shipping will be! It doesn’t seem that Amazon.co.uk see them as viable items as I couldn’t find them earlier.

While I don’t think I could get away with wearing these in (most) meetings at work I could definitely wear them out and about as normal…

Mmmmm…Bacon Blog


I’ve seen this around in a few different places and it is pretty random, pretty useless and pretty funny…it’s Bacon on your blog!

Check it out here

I’m not sure why it’s been invented, or why I like it so much-but what can you do 🙂
