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?

I love the Zoo vs Internet story for pointing out that pet rats are no dirtier than other household pets, and this

Unlike a horse or a dog, which will get stopped by gangs of mindless children desperate to stroke them, the rat can use its natural repulsiveness to its advantage.

Go rat!

Entertainment... I know a lot of people say they get lost in TV Tropes, but the numerous links in this blog have the same effect on me.

Have you seen Nathan Sawaya (http://brickartist.com/)'s Lego art? Incredible stuff.
