stuff and things 07.11.07

Balls. Lots of them. For free. And lots more stuff too. Liven up your powerpoint today. Like I did. Better still, get Keynote. Like I did. And although it’s for free, donate something. Like I did – a coffee. Are blogs reaching the final frontier before Man? Blog in space. I can’t tell if thisContinueContinue reading “stuff and things 07.11.07”

4.0

Die Hard 4.0 came out on DVD yesterday so I finally got to watch it after missing out on it in the cinema. And here’s Spam with a tremendous vest courtesy of Total Film (it’s actually a beer bottle sleeve but don’t tell him).
