World of Goo!

Fab game: http://www.worldofgoo.com/
They _even_ have linux binaries “dpkg –force-architecture -i WorldOfGooDemo.1.40.deb” just worked on my box (yes, you need 32bit libraries installed but I already had the relevant ones installed).

You may have seen that I’m currently seeking an Espresso machine. Well there are few coffee fanatics at a customer and so obviously I’ve [...]

Why designers should ask engineers

An engineer would (I hope) have spotted the problem.
If you link three gears like this, they cannot turn.

Ovum - oh dear

Amusing story of the week about Ovum. Google news still has the old incorrect version in the cache
I’d have sympathy, but a website where each paragraph is highlighted in red and underlined when your mouse goes over it deserves a miserable death. What were they thinking?

Store Wars

I’ve just been watching a very amusing parody called

Freaky
