Why Facebook is weird #1:

I can look at pictures of friends I haven’t seen in years and realize that they’ve become quite attractive.

So, I now have two blogs. The old faithful WordPress, and the new kid, Tumblr. I’ve been thinking over the past little while which one to use, or how best to make use of both. And now I’ve decided.

WordPress will remain my main blog, where I will write whenever I’m really in the mood for writing. Tumblr will be a repository of all things memorable or interesting, but not so much as to motivate me to write a blog post.

Posts on the WordPress blog will be sent over to Tumblr (hopefully) by RSS.

We’ll see how this goes.

Today, I happened upon hilariously clever artist David Packer’s website, where he posts very short films, some of them short enough to fit in an animated GIF. (The two left images AREN’T animated. Click them.)

Sheepfilms – short comedy films and animations starring me, cardboard boxes and various fluffy animals including sheep.

Google may shut down Chinese operations due to censorship and cyber attacks – Wikinews, the free news source.

We have decided we are no longer willing to continue censoring our results on Google.cn…We recognize that this may well mean having to shut down Google.cn, and potentially our offices in China.

Good news, I say.

With all the new 3G cell technologies and phones, it’s kind of confusing to figure out which phones work on which networks. For example, the new Nokia N900 will not work on the Bell or Rogers 3G networks.

Fortunately, Wikipedia, as usual, has the answer.

Translation Party.

I was bored today. I wonder what Himeji Castle is?

Update: This is Himeji castle. Who says silly web games can’t also be educational? Another good one: #5532295
