For anyone who hates text speak and declining literacy standards, this is a simple guide to some of the basics. There is lots of profanity, but it is pretty funny.

Julia made this to clear the drive when it was snowing. We had a wheelbarrow snowplough making contest. Julia won, but her version didn't work and broke in 5 minutes. Mine too a lot longer to build, but I did manage to clear the whole drive with it.
This was made using ColorSplash. This is Joseph in Barcelona.

Is this the classiest way to be remembered when you are dead? Your ashes are made into pencils, and when you use the sharpener on the box, the sharpenings get collected so the box becomes an urn. Check out the link, it's actually cleverer than that. I want one of these when I die!
I recently discovered Posterous and it looks like a much easier way to post web links than blogger as a form of aggregating stuff instead of using del.icio.us.
Let's see how well it works, and whether it gets blocked in the office...
This morning I came back into the office after a day's leave
and found that my bin had been removed. Apparently we now have some sort of zero waste initiative in the office. So I have a tiny desktop box about the size of a tissue box for my rubbish. Or at least I will when they send me one. Right now I just have no bin at all and have to disrupt what I'm doing for 3 minutes to walk into the next office for all the crap junk mail I'm sent each day twice a day. Then I have to remove any plastic packaging and put that in a different bin. What a waste of time. This looks like the bastard brainchild of a career politician who only has sheets of A4 paper to give to their PA for shredding. As if this wasn't enough, the global demand for recycled materials has gone through the floor and it is being stockpiled.
