Furl Spam: Out of Control

Further to my last post on Furl Spam (Is the Times Spamming Furl?), Furl has totally lost control. 20 of the top 25 sites Furled today are Golf related spam. Has Furl just been completely abandoned to the elements?

Furl lost the war to del.icio.us some time ago but still had a good following because of their ability to back-up pages saved. But if it's going to just become a repository for spam, they will likely lose the even their hardcore fans.

Nun komm, der Heiden Heiland: MP3

This is a recording of an amateur choir (Colibri) in Singapore performing JS Bach's Nun komm, der Heiden Heiland. Again, the sound quality is poor but... well whatever. It's worth every penny you pay.

I believe this will mark the world premier of this piece being made available on the net! JL's skill's were somewhat weaker than his uncle so it's understandable.

Lab Rat Brain Online

Online quarrelling is also addictive, in precisely the same way Tetris is addictive. It appeals to the "lab rat" part of your brain; the annoying, irrepressible part that adores repetitive pointlessness and would gleefully make you pop bubblewrap till Doomsday if it ever got its way.

Charlie Brooker, The Guardian

Dubya Quote of the Day

OK this quote is over a year old but I only just saw it and it struck me as ridiculously funny...

This notion that the United States is getting ready to attack Iran is simply ridiculous...Having said that, all options are on the table.

President George W. Bush, February 2005
