Hmm, now that seesmic web has desktop notifications, it's nearly all you need - final step will be addition of multiple twitter accounts. [alexleonard]
Does 802.11b have a better signal range than 802.11g? Don't need it for file transfer - only net sharing. Best coverage is most important. [alexleonard]
A priceless video replete with examples of rap at its best.
Apart from the rap, another favourite part of mine is the sax-player that mimes along to a part of the song where there is no saxophone (there might not actually be a saxophone in any part of the song, not even a synth one, but I’m not sure I can watch it again to check), along with the piano player with the fixed grin staring at the camera and not at the piano.
Thanks to Graham Linehan for sharing. By the way, the video ends around 3.13, but plays a black screen to 5 minutes.
In a nerdy way, humour is alive and well and it’s a very good thing to see the piss being well and truly ripped out of Microsoft’s “Launch Party” video, which, must truly be one of the all time worst moments in video.
I’ve included the Microsoft video below the piss-take, but if you do watch it, well, don’t watch the whole thing, it really is painful watching, and it doesn’t get better as it goes along.
Last night I watched an episode of “The Day Today”, Chris Morris’ excellent news show piss-take. I think my favourite bit was Steve Coogan’s part in the “Attitudes Night” preview.
Sixties presenter: (sitting in a studio with a Twiggy-esque girl leaning over his groin.)
These days it’s very fashionable among young people to do what I’m doing now. I’m being fellated by a young girl known as a groupie. It’s an interesting feeling, and certainly quite relaxing.

Presenter: Well, it’s half an hour later. My initial reaction was one of intense joy, but that’s now been replaced by a feeling of indequacy and gloom. It’s not an experience I can see catching on. But neither is it one which I regret.
Watch the full clip here – Steve Coogan appears at about 53 seconds in, as part of the 8.30 slot for “The Scrutineer”.
