Anticipation

    No dates present

070809101112

… and now it’s 07/08/09 10:11:12, in case you happen to prefer your dates around the other way.
Ok, I’ll stop this now. (But just so that these posts aren’t a total loss, here are some significant events on this day in history…)
I promise I’ll get around to posting something real sometime soon. Ish.

09080706050403020100

I don’t have anything particularly exciting to say — I just felt like posting that it is now the vaguely-numerically-significant time of 2009-08-07 06:05:04. Woo!
Not that anyone will notice for a long while later…

Time Machine

Oh, that’s right, I have a blog!
Anyway, I came across this the other day, and (while short) it seems like a fun idea.

I’m not sure how they managed the embedded links, though. Maybe it’s something specific to YouTube’s player.

Tetris-induced nightmares (and related video)

YouTube - Link to Tetris Grand Master

And if that hasn’t sent you off the deep end, how about a complete game:

Or for a change of pace:
YouTube - Link to Human Space Invaders

Some people have way too much time. Though unquestionably.skilled

Favourites from the xkcd archives

Recently I started looking through the archives of xkcd — I forget where I first found a link to it, but I suspect it was probably Twenty Sided.
Anyway, here are a few of my particular favourites so far (don’t forget to hover your mouse on the comic for the captions!):

Centrifugal Force
Substitute
Pointers
Sandwich
Accident
Donald Knuth
String Theory
Regular Expressions
The Problem [...]

Those who know not history…

… art doomed to repeat it.
