Links & notes for this month

• Toothpaste for dinner: my master's degree. Ahehehe. |
• Why is it that there's still a sense of wonder when I change one figure in a spreadsheet and all the other cells related to it change too? Shouldn't I have got over that years ago? |
• The Nokia Medallion: the stupid photo-messaging equivalent of changing your display name on Barbelith, and just about as useful. It looks like something off a crap BBC sci-fi show or something. |
• Brilliant: the new Napster ad campaign, in which they billpost fake adverts and then stick Napster stickers over the top. Perfect piece of advertising: it builds on brand the brand reputation and satirises it at the same time. |
• Overheard: "I think that 'Get a blog' is a good insult for when people are talking too much". |
• SomethingAwful takes it upon itself to parody the new iPod ad. Most are excellent. Especially the Morrissey one. |
• Phones4U bans internal email because they were losing 3 hours a day of employee time to it. Crazy - crazy they're blocking it, crazy that it wastes that much time. I doubt they will be starting a trend. |
• Compilation Nation - a new site from Marcia "dutchbint, a bit like Art of the Mix but more personal and themed. I'm registered on there... |
• "Hello, I'm Nathan Barley": Sony Ericsson's gorgeous new Z600 shows off its "twat" add-on. |
• My soul is worth |
