GoogleTube

Can't remember where I found a link to this (probably Boing Boing, which I want to rant about later), but there's a really cool video about the early origins of ArpaNet made in 1972 on Google Video at the moment.

A Series Of Tubes

Various feeds from my RSS list pointed me this morning towards Tim O'Reilly's piece on Yahoo!'s new Pipes service the other day. It's something that I've lodged into the Must Read Up On That™ corner of my brain, but it got me thinking about something.

The Internet Is A Dangerous Place

You know those adverts for AOL at the moment? The ones with John Hurt musing about certain things? ("The Internet is a Bad Thing" ...

Dis.connect.ed

Hmm. See, my phoneline's been acting a bit odd of late. About a month or so ago, I was getting terrible reception on my crappy little cordless thing. And then a couple of weeks ago, all I'd get on it was static. It would ring when someone called, but all I'd hear is "pssssfpspsppsfpsappcpcpcpkckkcksss" (or similar).
