Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince trailer and new Harry Potter book
Time for some more Potter excitement – the teaser trailer for Half Blood Prince has been released. All Potter fans should check it out as it looks great. Make sure you have your speakers on.
The films have been fantastic so far – each one improves on the one before. I just hope the cast all return for the finale as it wouldn’t be right to ...
BBC Olympics 2008 ident
I saw this when I was having my dinner this evening and thought it was absolutely fantastic. I was pretty sure it was Jamie Hewlet almost from the start, but I didn’t realise the music was by Damon Albarn (for those outside the loop this is the duo responsible for the Gorillaz).

Harry Potter prequel
Waterstones (the UK bookstore) recently ran a promotion called “What’s your story” where they got people to submit a postcard with a short story on it, and they will be turning the best into a limited edition book.

This is an interface I made for myself so it works the way I want it too – however I had a couple of people say they liked the look of it and wanted me to release it as a plugin… so here it is.
Before anyone downloads it I would like to point out that this was ...
Seven useless pieces of information about me
Last week I got tagged by Gnorb. I was going to write something clever about how I normally turn these things down because everyone does it and they’re so passé… but to be honest I’m flattered to even be considered, and I haven’t seen a meme in months – so here goes.
I have to tell you seven random peices of information (that you may not know) about myself.
