Digital Dreams
Hi. I still use LJ, follow my friends and similar, but I've moved my main host to Dreamwidth now, and am crossposting everything to here, but asking people to comment there.
Mat Bowles.
It's still fully interoperative, the OpenID comment functions there are good and improving, and I can follow everything from both sites easily.

The shorter Neil: George R.R. Martin is not your bitch. I still don't get why people can't understand that authors and other creative types don't have on/off switches. I wan the next book too, but I want it to be good, and released when it's ready. In the meantime, I have a whole library full of other books to read.
-
Oh look, something else we already knew but have to keep repeating because people refuse to believe it. Immigration makes us better off. All of us.
-
Chris has a historical analysis of MPs pay compared to the average. Does show that they've been going down, comparatively, since the early 80sâ”strangely, allowances have been going up since then, can't think why. Oh, wait, it was a fiddle created by Thatcher to keep the troop in line but keep the headline salary low. That worked REALLY well didn't it? Can we scrap the stupid allowances scheme, reduce the number of MPs, abolish safe seats and give the replacement lot we elect fairly a decent salary so that there're less absolute numpties and careerist arseholes please?
-
Interesting talk on how society exploits both men and women, but traditionally in different ways. In many ways it similar in analysis (if not conclusion) to the feminist patriarchy critique, and definitely worth a read as a good contribution to the debate.
-
Does exactly what it says on the tin. And is probably more accurate than my actual real knowledge.
-
Of course, the Cornish aren't too happy about this. But then, the Cornish never seem to be happy about anything.
-
On the subject of the best things coming from Devon, this does of course include pasties. (USiansâ”that's a type of pastry pie, not a silly thing moralists make strippers wear, the A is soft, paaasteee). The British Pie Awards says the best Cornish Pasties are made in Devon. And everyone knows the recipe comes from there anyway.
-
The (true?) story of how Ada Lovelace became the worlds first superhero crime fighter. Or something. It's cool. And silly. Computers. Invented in Devon. Like all the best things.
-
Paulie suggests that ISPs should contribute money to content creators out of the money they make selling us connections and similar. Not sure I agree with him, but it's an interesting argument. Much prefer it to the special pleading and subsidy requests some of them are doing at the moment.
-
Have I mentioned how much I dislike terrible puns? I have? Well, I'll mention it again. Ariane is gorgeous, funny, and smart. But this is one of the biggest collection of terrible fish based puns ever. Even if she is, on balance, having ago at those annoying pescetarians
-
Well, you will if you like a lot of pics of animals either being cute or in strange poses. I especially like the MeerCat, while SB preferred the snake & robin.
-
It's a Thesaurus that only throws up shorter synonyms. Useful if a) you use Twitter/SMS a lot or b) you're a verbose git. Like me. Works in the Firefox search box as well, which is nice.
-
TVSciFi attends a Red Shirt convention. It's utterly daft, but amusingly so.
-
The good Dr Pack demonstrates that I'm nowhere near the biggest hostiry geek in online Lib Demmery witha pretty good analysis of this classic speech. This REALLY OLD classic speech. Surprising how much it still resonates really, still, those who refuse to learn the lessons and all that...
-
Andrew makes the point about the damage that can be done to YOUR cause if you, or people on your side, make things up or inflate statistics. One I completely agree with
-
My (future) mother-in-law is doing a charity run with a friend. She'd appreciate donations. I appreciate a happy mother-in-law. I'm sure you understand, right?
Finally got around to fixing the settings and started using Delicious again. Which means you get context with the links. I'm clearing out the saved folders full, this is a random assortment of stuff I had in a folder called "Cool". Make of tht what you will.
-
Wait, they're on the same side. The good one. Anyway, Open Rights Group Event - Doctorow and Stross: Resisting the all-seeing eye, Friday May 1st, down in That London. No chance I can make it, but you should go. Yes, you.
-
Except, obviously, in Poland. The reasons given seem to actually make sense. Doesn't make it a good idea, but it makes sense. But, um, it's still a stupid name. then again, I said that about Dave, ad I reckon I watch that more often than any other channel.
-
Pretty sure this'll be happening over here as well. So many people have little to no understanding of the legal system or why it works the way it does. FS, if the Judge says don't do it, don't do it
-
Jonathan Potter's collection of rare antique maps was up for sale so the Telegraph nicely gave us a set of pictures of them. I've got some reproduction Speeds, but, well, when I've won several lotteries and robbed a few banks...
-
I wants one my precious, I wants one I does. Such a cool idea, but the whole computer into the keyboard and plug it into a decent TV. Oh, wait, I had a Spectrum when I was a kid. Except that, well, the Spectrum is outspecced by my mobile phone these days.
-
Utterly dodgy YouTube upload of one of the daftest TV sitcoms ever. Helped launch the careers of so many people and, well, it's fun. If you like the idea that the Roman governor of Britannia is based in Chelmsford.
-
I had no idea this even existed. Then, looking at it, I can see why. Kirby was a great visionary, but so horribly dated today.
-
This is brilliant. Acoustic guitar player doing a version of Merry Christmas Mr Lawrence, incredibly haunting and well done. ETA:
insomnia and
spoombung appear to be competing to find competitors in the comments, here's an alternative Japanese player of the same tune. -
Starts with the economic problems, moves onto technology trends, and then goes into what we're likely to become. Some of his answers may or may not be right, but he sure as hell is asking the right questions.
-
If you've ever wondered how you'd handle being stuc back in time (or like Miriam in another dimension), this handy t-shirt is a must-wear.
-
Bullet point summary of why England ended up colonising "Virginia", start from the bottom entry and move up. An old, and sadly defunct journal linked to in the comments at a post by Steve on something else entirely
-
How weird is this? If you think you live a healthy lifestyle, your body responds as if you do, but if you think you don';t, it degrades, EVEN IF YOU ACTUALLY DO. Mind over matter. Gotta love Dr Ben
-
The politics of bisexuality, an older post from Laurie that I had saved to link to but never actually did
-
Turning off that annoying nag when there's a reboot due. FFS, if I could reboot now I would, piss off and let me do it when I want.
-
Short answer: real people don't use the Address Bar. They just google. Even if what they're looking for is, well, Google. Maybe Firefox and the uber-bar will help change that? Maybe? Please?
-
The clitoris, a users guide. MY careful empirical research has me convinced that some are more sensitive than others...
-
Exactly what it says on the tin. Yes, having a 5 year old is a good excuse to spend time in the lego section looking at the prices in horror...
-
I'm thinking someone at the Guardian/Observer is poly, they seem to run a fair few articles like this, softening things up a bit. Regardless, I approve.
-
Tim on the Rowntree report, approvingly. I think I concur, poverty can't just be based on the old 'dollar a day' measure, even Adam Smith would've disputed that. But then that old lefty has frequently been misinterpreted by fools.
-
Free short story from Scalzi on Tor's new super SF siteâ”still haven't found the time to read it but still, worth linking to.
-
Unexpected results from the Hadron collider. I giggled
-
This is, quite simply, brilliant. Very cunning use of perspective in a very practical manner. Wonder if I could persuade NCP to hire him?
-
Everyone's favourite lunatic posts about the etiquette of friending people on LJ. I fall into the "don't ask, there's no point, doing so pisses me off" school, and also the "I add you back if you make interesting conversation" thing.
-
Why are your phone battery meter and signal meter so crap? Sometimes, it's a deliberate part of the software. Which is stupid. Ah well
-
I haven't had time to read this yet, but I know a bunch of you will be interested, so here y'go, feedback welcome
-
Robert Rodriguez is making a Red Sonja and she will be played by Rose McGowan. That's the archetypal chainmail bikini wearer played by someone that isn't Nielsen. Might actually be fun. Gratuitous and stupid, obviously, but fun too. And she looks great.
-
More silly signs. Good fun
-
John McCain is so desperate for a bit of that viral internet action that he's set up a reward scheme for people posting comments in his favour. Openly. Obama supporters are, naturally, laughing themselves silly and going back to posting such support for free. Desperate measures?
-
Look at this! The Insubstantial Careerist hath blog. It's crap. Really really crap. But you knew that from the tagline, right? Empowerment? FFS. I nearly studied in Salford, she gives the whole place a bad name.
-
A games software developer invites those who rip off his games to tell him why, gets a lot of constructive feedback and decides to change his SOP as a result, including substantially improving his demos and dropping DRM completely. Interesting times.
-
Why the Twitter SMS gateway got closed down over here. SRSLY, USians? Do you guys REALLY pay to receive text messages? That both explains Twitter's revenue stream AND why it's both more popular and less viable over here :-(
-
This is interestingâ”judge rules that comments on a discussion board are not libel, merely slander, a different, lesser offence. How that would apply elsewhere in, for example, blog comments, is open to further interpretation. Stupid libel laws.
-
Nice little gadget showing pretty much everything I can think of in the history of daftness online, right from the very beginning. I still love that coffee pot.
-
Giving a former chief of police who obviously got hid over the head with a truncheon once too often a damn good fisking over his imbecilic anti-legalisation article. There are some good arguments against legalisation, but he chose to deploy hyperbole and fear tactics. In the Independent. Fool.
-
This looks like a neat little plan. Mozilla developers are working with Adobe to create a plugin for INTERNET EXPLORER that could possibly make it able to display stuff according to standards. This could mean that mapping software like Google Maps might actually work properly. Which would be nice.
-
This is, quite, frankly, one of the most horrifying things I've read in a long time. It's also one of the most hopeful. It's not a short read, and those of an emotional should be warned that it made ME a bit teary eyed at times. If child neglect stories make you upset, read with extreme caution.
New stuff! The new plugins work! Excellent! I promise to post with links soon (honest), in the meantime thanks to
andrewducker for the new gizmos to get it working, sort of.
-
Um, oops? Several friends of mine work for HBOS, nice to know their security procedures don't even cover their own cheif exec.
-
An argument between churches: do dogs go to heaven? SRSLY, it's fun, go look.
-
Done no extra digging, but this would hit several friends of mine directlyâ”deactivated firearms include muskets for civil war re-enactments, the wannabe history teacher in me is appalled they're even considering it. The politico in me is used to New Labour's bansturbating crap already :-(
-
She keeps whinging I haven't plugged this enough. Given I've barely posted anything this surprises who, exactly? Anyway, a proper write up may follow, in the meantime, go vote already.
-
If you use Gmail, read this and do what it says. Those more technically inclined than me will understand why it was daft for them not to default to HTTPS instead of insecure HTTP, but they have now let you always force that, which is a step in the right direction.
-
Ignoring the stuff about the 'postcode lottery' (essentially media bollocks: different spending priorities in different areas is localismâ”the problem is Scotland has democratic accountability, England doesn't), but the co-payments policy is daft. Well meaning, but daft.
-
Very pointless, but at the same time. Play Tetris with maps. Not bad for learning a bit of geography, there's no way I'm playing on hard though.
-
Here's a cunning plan. Change the law so that some stuff that was perfectly legal will now become illegal, and then NOT TELL THE POLICE how to deal with it or make the judgement. You can't even ask what you need to destroy. FFS
-
We look not at what is there, but what our brain predicts will be there in a tenth of a seconds time. How weird is that?
-
Even a non-petrolhead like me can appreciate these
-
Good thing: The Welsh Office uses Wordpress. Bad Thing: They're paying £500 a month to host it. For a site that probably gets less traffic than my Livejournal. Our tax money at work. Badly
-
How cool is this?
-
Hebrew scholars write a book about all the filth modern translation have removed. Interesting bit about the 'tsela', anyone know any more?
-
Andrew Ducker asks: When did you start feeling like you were living in the future? And if you don't - what would make you?
-
The Govts Know Your Limits campaign, all £10million of it, is both a misplaced use of our money and based on dubious medical evidence. And because most light drinkers can see it's bollocks, the core message gets ignored
-
and here's some of the evidence that says the unit limit per week is bollocks. By Govt targets, I'm a binge drinker on a quiet week FFS, and I'm mostly sober.
-
Heh. Mozilla has decided to try to set a world record for most software downloads in 24 hours when they release Fx3. Can their download network handle it? Anyone got any odds?
-
Genius. Who needs a commentbot when you can click on this for hours.
-
I'm thinking it should likely be 'parent' there, some of them I've skipped, and soe I'm learning. Still not got my head around the tantrums thing...
-
Can someone please explain to me how emo isn't a branch of goth? It grew out of punk and is all about dressing up dark and angsty while convinced the world hates you.
-
Dave geeks out abou 'a group of pterosaurs called Azdarchids' and the edia coverage of some research. As usual, the media get it all wrong, except, um, The Sun. How does that work?
-
Brown's going to lose the next General Election. Pretty much guaranteed unless he stops playing at politics and starts doing stuff. I went off Hari completely for awhile, has he grown up and smelt the coffee or is it a blip?
-
Conclusive proof I've been working alongside real IT geeks too long—I almost understand most of this.
-
Washington DC: Built by morons... (but then, London's not that much better)
-
This is rather good (if a bit weighty), legal responsibity of online content, who's gets sued for libel, etc and what your web host should be aware of. Seems to back up my view that screening comments can cause issues
-
Kathleen on how many Christian campaigners are distinctly unChristian and her own particular brand of liberal theology
-
If anyone has any examples of how an anarchic society might work, then I'd be interested in reading them. But for now, count me out.
-
A few assists and pointers on writing about real people online and how to avoid being sued for libel. My legal consultant talls me it's fairly accurate...
-
Not a bad little selection - reposted for those bikers not already reading Jennie (you should be, damnit)
-
Duncan does his whole 'look, the most popular song won' analysis (again) with good reasoning (again). Pretty sure he's right as well, yes, there are blocks, but El Tel's predictions came next to bottom.
-
Pay peanuts, get monkeys. That's why most British MPs are useless apparatchiks (well, that and the voting system). While they get way above median, they get way below what the most talented 0.001% of us should earn.
-
Paleontologist SF geek isn't happy with CGI SF aliens - even Dr Who and Trek did weird better, let alone nature.
-
Um, yeah. Having a copy of the contents of this can get you thrown into jail. Well, if you've got brown skin or you attend a mosque. But the US air force is free to host it on a public website, right? GAH!
-
MySpace is infested with spammers, phishers and idiots. Rather than dump the phishers and spammers, they've decided to treat all users like idiots. And a huge number of their idiot users thank them for it. Gods I hate that site.
-
Nice little summary here, definitely worth reading if you're writing a lot of web published stuff. Y'know, like blog or LJ posts...
-
Wow, how stupid is this? I'm not sure which is worse, that he did it, or that theyve banned him from giving them more evidence. Leeds Cllr says: 'Leedsâ™s dumbest criminal' which, given it's Leeds, is quite impressive.
-
So many times during the campaign I meant to write up an analysis of Hennessy's Bloody Stupid Voting System, never did. Here's the main problem with it over AV, which he thinks we're too stupid for.
-
The Labour spin team are blaming last weeks results on the mistake of the 10p tax thing. I think it went much deeper than that and that was merely the proverbial straw. Bob agrees, not sure everything he says here is right, but interesting reading
-
I had planned to write a post on why Ken lost and similar, I've linked to a few things pointing out the futility of some of the anti-Boris campaigning and reactions, but Obsolete has done the rest for me, so have a link.
-
Mark reviews That Game. I have no interest in it, but I like his reviews, so for those of you that like or want to know more about That Game, go read.
-
I know nothing about this other than what's presented, but will be upgrading my sites ASAP, heads up for those using it elsewhere and worth a check, also check your Facebook comments for dodgy links, etc.
-
Jeremy wrote this aimed specifically at authors, but I think it applies to everyone. I need to update all my sites, especially the taktix domain, and XHTML is the way to go these days.
-
Cory with an interesting alternative payment system for his free eBooks. He's giving away Little Brother free, but if you want to pay him, why not donate a copy to a library? (waiting for the paperback as always)
-
I like this, sums up my fairly lazy position quite well: when you're not monogamous, the soap opera vanishes like a bad dream in daylight. The basic fact that you and your partner are living animals with normal libidos doesn't turn into a crisis
-
Duncan follows up: My point was that the campaign from the left was a negative one against Boris rather than a positive one in favour of Ken Livingstone. Saying that you should vote against someone just because they are a Tory does not cut it [anymore]
-
Damn silly fules, coffee shortage far more important: The threat of a nuclear attack on the UK in the 1950s caused concern over the supply of tea, top-secret documents which have now been released reveal.
-
Sculptures and emplacements in various kids playgrounds around the world. Naturally, we want a Cthulhu for Wellholme. For those that've seen part one before, part two was published Friday
-
Best selling book on Amazon worldwide in March? 'Liberation' porn novel only available in German (although the author was born in Wimbledon).
-
What's the worst Comment is Free article ever? Goggerty's travelogue, Peaches Geldoff's MySpace thing, Neil Clark's existence? Phil is running a series of polls.
-
Tim Ireland: To avoid putting you offside, I'm going to list my 10 favourite things about this glorious nation without mentioning one your women that I married and one of your jobs that I took.
-
Can't argue with this—watch for the 10p smokescreen as excuse-Perhaps you've forgotten us. We are the tax paying, voting people. Remember the folks who put the X in the box in 1997, and waited with you, fingers and toes crossed, for the results to com
-
Agree with every word: All this hyperbole being spewed about Johnson from normally sensible left-wing sources* - not to mention the dismissal of over a million Londoners who picked him as their first choice as merely âœdoing it for a laughâ - is doing
-
Worst journalism ever? Complain about all the filth available, with a nice little popout box listing it all so you can find it easily. The Mail really does know its prurient audience. (from Bookdrunk)
-
Forum and comment box archetypes, we've all met them, and most of us are at least one of them.
-
Duncan on the Boris thing: Well, all I can say to that is, grow up. This is just the most pathetic way to discuss politics. If you have to resort to invoking the days of Thatcher to persuade people not to vote Conservative, you must be scraping the barrel
-
'The Open Screen Project is supported by technology leaders, including Adobe- and leading content providers, including BBC, etc - who want to deliver rich Web and video experiences' Lemme here a Woo. And a Hoo
-
I'm talking to you, you self-righteous politicians and newspaper columnists, you relics who beat on computer games: you've already lost. Enjoy your carping while you can, because tomorrow you're gone.
-
Hint: parties are normally desparate for candidates in the locals. '80 years after women were given voting rights, just 31 per cent of the candidates for council seats in the local elections will be women.' More candidates please
-
Your opponent injures herself after hitting a home run, she can't complete to take the score, rules say her team can't help. So carry her around instead? How cool is that?
-
How cool is this? Could give us instant on PCs and similar. Well done HP! 'a fourth basic circuit element to electrical circuit theory, one that will join the three better-known ones: the capacitor, resistor and the inductor.'
-
Arsehole: Local activist Dimitris Lambrou states in his complaint that the \"seizure\" of the island's name is responsible for the \"psychological and moral rape\" of true lesbians
-
More arsehole: Dimitris Lambrou, claims that international dominance of the word in its sexual context violates the human rights of the islanders, and disgraces them around the world.
-
Truth: Of course, the *correct* response here is that, while there is confusion, there is no disgrace. In order for there to be disgrace, \"Lesbian\" would have to be a pejorative or negative term.
-
More truth: In English at least, the term had the same meaning in the eighteenth century as in the twentieth. In Western cultures, women-loving-women have been called â˜lesbiansâ™ and sometimes â˜Sapphistsâ™ for hundreds of years
-
I suspect I'm guilty of this sometimes, but I'm an equal opportunities bigot and 'explain' things to everyone. The trick is to ask questions and establish knowledge level. Um, my retail training there, sorry...
-
MOODIE! This might help ;-) Although I dislike the way ASBOs work, they can be useful:A couple whose loud, drunken arguments drove their neighbours mad have been given Asbos â“ banning them from rowing.
-
I knew this, did you? The 1796 treaty with Tripoli states that the United States was 'in no sense founded on the Christian religion'. This was not an idle statement, meant to satisfy muslimsâ” they believed it and meant it
-
They found the Notts althing: Thynghowe was a place where people came to resolve disputes and settle issues â“ quite literally where people came to talk about things
-
I agree with Luke Akehurst. Stranger things have happened I guess: 'This contest has proved that low turnout happens when voters think a race is a foregone conclusion. Presented with a...close contest they will engage ... enthusiastically.
-
Londoners! want to be in Charlie's TV show? 'We need volunteer zombies willing to appear in Dead Set, a horror thriller type thing Iâ™ve written for E4 / C4. It will doubtless be the finest TV programme ever made'
-
A day of stuff about Humph. Has to be done. Shame it clashes with the FFW, ah well. Stephen Fry will present a newly commissioned profile of I'm Sorry I Haven't a Clue, with extracts of the best programmes.
-
Ok, they've gone for an ad model like the rest of the web rather than sort the subscription system into something worthwhile, but the first UK SN is now trying to play catchup. Sounds familiar really...
-
Lord Soley has roped a bunch of friends in to contributing to a group blog about the House of Lords and how it works. This is a more jokey \"translation\" post, worth a read (via webofevil)
-
Sculptures of human heads done as if they're trophies of some sort or other. Crrepy, but cool.
-
Um, isn't it tool use that set's us apart? How cool is this? I can has librarian?
-
Barry Cryer interviewed (with video) in a tribute to Humph
-
Tribute to Humph by Cryer in the Observer
-
Scalzi states truth: thereâ™s increasing value in showing that one intelligently aggregates and comments on other peopleâ™s brilliance and great thoughts, because then people come to you for those aggregation and commentary skills
-
My next project is an SaaS thing that looks quite cool, so Nick Carr cheers me up: software-as-a-service is rapidly \"becoming mainstream,\" with three-quarters of software buyers saying they are \"favorably disposed to adopting SaaS platforms\"
-
I used to do 4 of these when I used a client, and still do a chunk with Gmail, auto labelling and auto filters are great for keeping it simple. I still have a thousand emails in my inbox but, y'know, it'd be worse if there was no system
-
Amy writes a stand up skit. Explaining feminism and why you are one. But not me. I'm an equalist, no baggage or crazy loons with that label. Gah, categories, can't we just be people? Oh, no, wait, we tried that, people suck.
-
Joel is taking requests for his regular picspam posts, a recent one was male backsides. Given some of you lot are as pervy as his readers, I thought I'd share
-
Not really sure how you could possibly enforce this but... 'the right to sexual enjoyment means ensuring women can make free, responsible and informed decisions about their sex lives'
-
Predates the 'w' by several hundred years and was likely created by a lazy git of a roman, who was likely attacked for being lazy txter equivalent at the time no doubt
-
On how the TV used to be the timesink that the internet is now replacing, and how cutting TV watching back a small amount creates thousands of wikipedias.
-
As Jennie put it: 'Charles Manson is completely batshit, but Larry Flynt is kind of cool. In other news, the pope shits in the woods and all bears are Catholic.'
-
This is a fairly cool trick, type in any date and it'll show you where the planets were in the solar system. Not actually of any use, but still cool.
-
I'm guessing some of the science in this is a bit off, and I'm guessing many people have already picked it full of holes, but I can't be arsed to look, it's still cool...
-
Follow up from the link the other day: One of the barriers people seem to run into is \"but small talk is so inane!\" - it progresses into finding commonalities and creating a bond
-
This years SFWA elections were fun to watch in the early stages (see Scalzi post, see Burt squirm), but the final results are slightly more amusing. Look at the write-ins...
-
A brief historty of Rock against Racism. Most of which I knew not, ang it's rather cool. Doesn't mention alleged the SWP links, were they that strong? Without RAR, punk would only have been about nihilism
-
Gordo genuinely thought the 10p tax thing hurt no one? 'To them and others, the Prime Minister would bang the table and insist that there were no losers...He could not conceive of himself as someone who would hurt the less well-off. '

A LOLcat that made me laugh? I am such a geek. From Tim Worstall of all places.

More info on the weekend and what might be happening, weekend of June 14th 2008

Why coffee shops charge more for extras: The coffee shop â“ like many businesses â“ faces a dilemma. Raise prices and it loses some customers; cut prices and it loses margins.
-
A few quibbles and disagreements, but overall, not a bad little list, worth a glance and a think anyway. (from drjon)
-
Channel 4 has done a summary page for all the FactCheck articles they've done on the London mayoralty candidates, nic elittle resource for those that care.
-
I've not really commented on the whole 'Boob project' mess, but this is a pretty good summary of both the ideal and the problem with it as presented. Bloody long though, Dee really could do with learning to edit herself and/or put some subheaders in. Worth a read.
-
Iain Weaver in 'Taking off our go(g|o)gles' restates and summarises his objections to Google, their privacy policies and the abuses thereof. His analysis is sound, but I take it on board and continue to prefer their services, cost/benefit is strong.
-
I hope they count the votes Caerphilly.

Warning: it's a spider, if you're one of those weird "AAAH! SPIDER" people then you really don't want to click. Everyone else should though

So very very cool: 'Italian wall lizards introduced to a tiny island off the coast of Croatia are evolving in ways that would normally take millions of years to play out, new research shows.
-
This is rather cool, map of the world TLDs, scaled to population size (not usage). Which means .tv is tiny and .us is huge, should be t'other way around...
