Height on a Log scale

He used a logarithmic scale. A Log scale. How beautiful is this?

Also, that cat at the top-right is the size of several hundred million galaxies. :-o

Awesome little Gif

I remember being astounded by the first music video to feature this technology, it seemed like a bright future of plastic surgery - now it's being used to turn Gordon Brown into Stalin and Mr Bean. Is the future any less bright?

IGN: Multiwinia Review



My multiwinia review goes up; can understand how some people enjoy it, buy I'm personally unlikely to go back to the game; too shallow and unfair for someone who loves complexity and justice. :)

One of the reasons I love my job

Dreamlords, Yawn

Dreamlords: The Reawakening Review - Page 1 // MMO /// Eurogamer - Games Reviews, News and More

Last night, I travelled home angry. I nicked a seat on the tube, I bullied stumblebums out of my way; I was generally a bundle of passive-aggressive geekery. Why? Not because my day had been bad or because I'd messed up in the office. It was because the Chancellor (boss) of my Convergence (guild) had kicked me out, after I'd pressed the "mistrust" button on Dreamlords' rudimentary web interface.

Another day, another dollar.

Bioshock: Why 2K Boston Aren't Making BioShock 2

2K Boston, with help from 2K Australia, made BioShock. And what a great game it was. But they're not making BioShock 2. Somebody else is. Why somebody else and not 2K Boston? Ken Levine (pictured, emerging from the ruins of Rapture clutching the last remaining...Coke Zero!) explains:

I'm always excited when someone uses one of my pictures...!

Eye Contact

Ritting

Rattling along underground in a vicious humour, all around me are temporarily like me; none can see the blue of the sky. The tube disgorges beneath Kings-Cross and we all barrel out, the stick-wavers, the 20-20s and me. There's probably some of my kin around too, but we never make eye contact, head for the city. There's a city in all of our eyes, great towers of rhodopsin raising up, the rods and the cones, an empty city that collapses at the touch of light. In my city the architect's plans went awry, or he lacked imagination and my city looks all samey, not enough variety in those towering discs. As in the eye, so in the world and my world, outside the vitreous humour (if it's really there) also has lost something from that failure; colour.
