    Am I the only one who thinks the Dracula in this clip is totally channeling Rowan Atkinson?

    Also, the zombies are totally voice-overed by Monty Python-style Gumbies.

    i'm not sure i get your point. i looked it up and it's cool bit of coding and all that but seeing real birds doing it is, to my mind at least, way cooler. i have a colony of starlings roosting in the woods behind my house so i get to watch (a much, much smaller) version of that above my garden of an evening.

    Have you all seen this thing that people have been kicking off over.



    more here
    The comments don't seem to be working on there at the moment but they were earlier and made for interesting reading.

    Hi Whitechapel, I used to talk a lot here, annoyingly. I'm back now, and I'm trying to scrounge up a nice sleek interactive map tracking the protests and revolutions happening across North Africa and the Middle East. So far all I've found is Washington Post's tabbed graphic and this out-of-date Google walking map (no Bahrain, no Libya). I'm trying to get my lazier and more ignorant friends some easily digestible newsbits so that MAYBE they'll be more inclined to take an interest, so I'm hoping to come across something a bit sexier. Anyone out there have anything better? I figured this would be a great place to ask. (And see if Paul Sizer or someone wants to just MAKE what I'm looking for... Plllleeeeeeaaaaassssseee?????)

    Or, something EXACTLY what I was looking for was already posted in this very thread, and I'm just too lazy to look...

    Because it made my inner 10-year old laugh.

    I love Xeni so much. She brings such wonderful things to my attention...



    Transmetropolitan graffiti in the streets of NYC. How cool is that?

    @ian holloway - I'm not entirely sure what point I was trying to make either. I blame the glorious Czech lager I was drinking last night.

    I could probably ramble on for hours on the joys of emergent properties in chaotic systems though, but I think only another computer scientist would be as up for it as I am.

    Short version: Simple rules munged together give really cool results that you have no way of predicting.

    @icelandbob That's what I already picture whenever I hear the name. I have no control over it.

    I work with Thom York's step-dad so I've passed those videos on. I think the Benny Hill was my favourite.

    My friends made a zero-budget werewolf thing. I have a very over-the-top cameo as a victim. Enjoy.
