This is just brilliant. Like Michele, I thoroughy recommend Xkcd as part of your daily funnyness.

Just watched the second season premiere of Heroes. About three minutes from the end a scene was introduced set in a dock in Cork, Ireland. Immediately my thoughts ran to “please don’t have the actors doing corny Irish accents”. Sure enough, not 10 seconds, later my fear had been confirmed. This is the worst type of ridiculous shit for a show like Heroes. Why couldn’t you have just done it right? Oh, and what made it even more OTT was the fact that there was a grafitti shamrock on a shipping container in the background. Seriously.

At the Future of Web Apps conference in London. Brian Oberkirch & Simon Willison are on stage at the moment. It appears as if the free Wifi is having issues. Sites are extremely slow to load and when I ping the gateway its taking an average of 3 seconds. Hopefully they’ll sort it out.

That’s Fight Like Apes
