While we're on the subject of strange collections...

....here's a few more.

Dentures???

Cheesy

Did you know that collecting camembert cheese box labels is known as Tyrosemiophily? Put some quality time aside to check out some collections here and here.....maybe make yourself some yummy Baked Camembert with Garlic Ciabatta Toasts to get yourself in the mood first. Then when you're done you're going to need some ideas for things to do with the empty box(es)...fear not, Agence Eureka to the rescue........

Retro TV......stylish!!

Inanimate Alice - Episode 4 released

I'm pretty sure I've posted on this episodic piece of interactive fiction before, but if I haven't, I definitely meant to! Slick graphics and with an excellent soundtrack, there's a projected 10 episodes in total, so if you like it (or want to start at the beginning!) it's worth bookmarking the Inanimate Alice homepage to keep an eye on progress. They say:

"'Inanimate Alice' tells the story of Alice, a young girl growing up in the first half of the 21st century, and her imaginary digital friend, Brad.
Over ten episodes, each a self contained story, we see Alice grow from an eight year old living with her parents in a remote region of Northern China to a talented mid-twenties animator and designer with the biggest games company in the world."

Jump straight in and play Inanimate Alice Episode 4 (because we all know that starting at the beginning is just for big girl's blouses and about on the same level as 'reading the manual'!)

Wibble wobble

Check out the 'Reaching for the out of reach' project at Cursive Buildings (then the post title might make sense!)

No time to post tonight, BUT.....

....apparently there's nothing more bracing than a pair of Wolsey underpants. I'll maybe leave you with that thought..........

Yeah....right!

from ModernMechanix.....but just DON'T fill in and send off!

Don't work with children......or animals....

Jeez.....I remember seeing this live!

The Fabulous Furry Freak Brothers

OK....a personal blast from the past....

.....found an original, yellowing, partial copy of one of the classic comics in a dusty cupboard. Did a google and found a downloadable boardgame. Possibility for the end-of-term party on the 18th July perhaps? (.....assuming everyone is talking to everyone else this year!).....and not forgetting I've got a resited work plotter to test and a pile of foam board to recycle (cans of spray mount a given!)

LATER....And the film that (I guess) never got made....

Anybody fancy.....?

....just spotted a lone advert on a lampost on the way to work this morning....so short notice!

Test post from the new iGoogle blog posting thingie

It doesn't do pretty pictures, but it might be handy for those occasions where you want to do just a quick text post.....like "Sorry for the lack of recent action....I promise I'll try harder!"

Frankenstein

I got a new toy today, courtesy work...... a brand-spanking-new iPod Classic (80GB). This of course sent me hotfoot to archive.org to download some compatable video to try out it's watch-a-film-on-the-move capabilities. Found this.....and watched it on the way home on the Metro.



"A live tv production of Frankenstein from the anthology series Tales of Tomorrow. Legend has it that Lon Chaney Jr. (playing the monster) was unaware that it wasn't a rehearsal, so rather than break up props as planned, he simply put them down."

Weather

It works for me.

The Mighty Wurlitzer

SO....you like organs, huh?

Also worth watching (embedding not allowed) is this video, The Beast in the Basement, Leon Berry in his native habitat......not for the faint-hearted!

Finger knitting

I'm older than I like to remember and I never knew how to do this (Oh Ma, you failed me!!) Now where's that bloody wool.........

Spot the difference game......Unique

Pick the odd one out as quickly as you can. Changing colors, shaved edges, similar shapes and other tricks make each level harder than the last.
