Best review of the year (so far) from Jason Chen at Gizmodo: Spykee the Skype Robot Gets Three Friends With iPod Dock Crotches Spykee, the built-it-yourself Skype robot, just got three different models that you can build him into—one of which is a her. We’ve got the first images of the Spykee Cell, Spykee Vox and Spykee Miss, all of which have a video camera, MP3 player, VoIP phone, microphone, loudspeaker, motors, and the ability to shove an iPod into its crotch. The best thing about this guy is that you can control him from anywhere in the internet. Well, Continue Reading…

Guess how many I’ve eaten? Prize is – you get the rest. Which are probably the not so nice ones (soz, Orange Sherbet gone) such as the chewed-up-and-spat-out Jalapeno ones. And it’s so NOT true that I licked ALL the other ones, just to test of course! Thanks to MySpace for sending the largest box of Jelly Beans I’ve ever seen. guesses also on Twitter @silkcharm and Flickr

Warning: 2 minutes 38 seconds of un-productivity coming up. Don’t forget to link to this YouTube video (content) to your Facebook (filtering) wall: you might as well put that $2,700 that each of us cost our employers each year on Facebook, to good use. It’s 4:33am – the time of the morning when one stares crosseyed at Tetris and wonders what it would look like with humans raining down…

Satire yumminess in response to Australia’s Crime and Terrorism Act and the newest one Content Act. (my post) : A Special Message from the Department of Internets CANBERRA, Australia (doi) — Today, the Federal Government is introducing legislation to help protect your family from The Internets. Every day, over two hundred thousand Australian children are exposed to harmful Internet beams. At school, at the library, even in your own home, Internets transmit OFLC-unclassified thoughts and ideas directly into your children’s brains. In order to stem the foul tide of e-terror, the Department of Internets has published a catalog of approved Continue Reading…

Facebook vs Pensionbook

As you head into your twilight years (hey, the ‘new year’ is just a few days away), you might want to consider joining …. *drum roll*…. Pensionbook. From the wacky brain of Stephen Wildish: click to see the bigger picture. Or put your glasses on! I’m collecting orphans, waifs and strays for New Years – if you are in Sydney, looking for a *quietish* pensioner-like parteh (with a view of the bridge and harbour) to watch the fireworks, then off on your zimmer frame after a glass or two of watered down wine, email or call me. I’m in Potts Continue Reading…

Vote for me. Or Santa won’t visit you. I mean it. Australias Top 20 Web Celebs! It’s a bit echo-chambery (you can’t nominate, only vote). But then again it’s all in good fun. I suggested they use Pligg – in fact I would’ve given ‘em poor ol’ Bloggerati. But that might’ve made it all tooooo serious. By the way I wasted a vote on Trib. Heh. AND I pointed people to Wild Wicked Wanton Women of Web 2.0 on Facebook for the list of Aussie women. Oh and in the Spirit of … well, Merry Christmas and Happy New Years!

A, E, I and now O

I made a joke at the beginning of this year, at the AIIA lunch in February I think, that we were heading for the Time of O. The 90′s were the “E‘s”. As in eCommerce, eMail, and electronic services. Then came the “I’s” – iPod, iGoogle, iwhatever. When I was asked what the O was for, I said Ontological. Well, it was the best I could come up with. Of course, it’s Open. As in OpenSocial. So quick, grab all the oWords or OpenWords domains. OpenFriends, OpenProfile, oFriends. Leo Reynolds on Flickr Over it Already. Tags: Humour, opensocial, letter O

Very funny video here on the Sydney Morning Herald site. Stay with it to hear the Rihanna Umbrella..ella..ella oops Peter Costello..ello..ello bit at the end. (Hat tip via Facebook: Trina Tune) Australia’s answer to Obama Girl: The Axis of Awesome’s musical satire on the election battle.(02:43) Downloadable video -.wmv file.Tell me something… what would SMH lose by giving us an embed widget with a Sydney Morning Herald frame around it, and maybe a YouTube like branding screen imprint? I mean, if they count embeds as well as page views, they could, like, add them up, right? For example, 20 people Continue Reading…

Hat Tip Nicholas Rayner: Look at all the other laptops! I wonder if there is the equivalent of cyber bullying amongst laptops, cos if so that ACER lover had better protect their laptop for dear life.

Jokes/Humour – courtroom

 Humour  1 Response »
Sep 172007
 

I’m supposed to be writing a presentation. But I’m laughing at emails instead. From my mate Amanda. Apparently these are from a book called Disorder in the American Courts, and are things people actually said in court, word for word, taken down and now published by court reporters who had the torment of staying calm while these exchanges were actually taking place. I checked the book out and it’s called Disorder in the Court: Great Fractured Moments in Courtroom History and this is what the Publishers Weekly said: Misstatements from the courtroom–legalese marred by malapropisms, slips of the tongue, eccentric Continue Reading…
