Anywhere but here.

Since I am very boring at the moment, have some stuff that isn't:

The Zoo vs The Internet. Following the carrier pigeon beats broadband story from South Africa, CNet has done some more comparisons.

YouTubeDoubler. Because you need to watch more, clearly.

Every wanted to make your own lego designs but didn't know how? Lego Design will let you create whatever you want and THEN buy the bricks, just for your model. Wonderful. Incidentally, did I mention that rustydog, who knows me far too well, sent me Pirate!Lego for my birthday? J and I spent way too much time firing the tiny cannon...

Which actually segues nicely into my recommendation of James May's Toy Stories. He's so far covered Airfix, Plasticine and Meccano, and it's been an absolutely joy.

Since it is grey, gloomy and horrible here, I'm going to turn on my daylight lamp and try to actually get some work done. Any other recommendations of how to entertain myself while doing so?

Bzuh?

Just when I think my life can't get more surreal, I get spoiled for the Archers by Stephen Fry on Twitter.

O.O

Actually, that's happened to be a few times in the last week. wrongworddammit spoiled me for NCIS, and a colleague spoiled me for Strictly Come Dancing (shush, it makes me happy).

Fortunately, I'm not a spoiler-phobe, but it's going to make me more careful about making jokes in passing...
