Date July 31st, 2006 Comment 11 Comments

I heard this rumour years ago, that MJ Fox wasnt the origional Marty Mc Fly.
But i just thought it was that they offered the job to someone else first.
Well it seems Back to the Future was actually filmed twice—once with Eric Stoltz in the role of Marty McFly, and once with Michael J. Fox. But […]

Hoff

Date July 28th, 2006 Comment 1 Comment

A lot of Hoff about at the moment.
Its seems splitting from his wife has not only turned him into a raging alcholic but also made him money hungry.
Either way a good cup of Hoffee and we will all be just dandy:
Today: Hoff divorce finalised

Hoff gets arsefaced
Hoff gets arsefaced again

How to fix a sick iPod

Date July 28th, 2006 Comment No Comments

My iPod went kaput the other night, and bizarrely this was the only thing that worked. I recommend the process for anyone who’s experiencing the same problem, but be warned, the complex procedure needs your complete concentration and skill.
Stat!

The 1% Rule

Date July 27th, 2006 Comment No Comments

The Guardian has an excellent piece on a theory called the 1% rule.
It’s an emerging rule of thumb that suggests that if you get a group of 100 people online then one will create content, 10 will “interact” with it (commenting or offering improvements) and the other 89 will just view it.
If Web 2.0 is […]

How to Ruin a Web Design:

“Group intelligence is multiplicative when idiots are involved - combining a half-wit with another half-wit does not result in a full-witted person, it results in a quarter-witted person (1/2 x 1/2 = 1/4). Combining a full-witted individual with a half-wit still only yields a half-wit. […]

Black & White Castle

Date July 20th, 2006 Comment No Comments

This isnt a ghost and boo thing or any trunks like that.
Its a trick with colour. Basically you stare at the inverted colours for 30 secs then look at the black and white photo and you will see it in colour.
Works extremely well.
Try it
