• Wow. Pretty bloody astonishing episode of Battlestar Galactica. Reboot of an old classic. Lloyd Bridges has changed a bit... Don't look if you don't want to be spoiled for episode ten of season two. Is all I'm saying.
• Is the GPX 2 more interesting than the PSP? Well it's running Linux, can show photos, play music and has a MAME emulator onboard so you can play all MAME'd games. No denying an open platform portable is interesting...
• "Most of the cast of the upcoming SF movie Serenity told SCI FI Wire that they have signed on for two more movies if the film version of Joss Whedon's canceled Fox TV series Firefly is a hit" Can I please, please, please remind people to go and see Serenity when it comes out. I really really want a bloody sequel here. The film deserves one...
• World Summit on Free Information Infrastructures This will be in London at the beginning of October. Looks pretty awesome, actually. Kind of fascinated by it.
• Wild Things Are on the Beach "A self-styled god, Jansen is evolving an entirely new line of animals: immense multi-legged walking critters designed to roam the Dutch coastline, feeding on gusts of wind"
• Turning the Pages™, the British Library "Leaf through 14 great books and magnify the details" - lovely, beautiful, and a great use of rich media to do something that couldn't be done easily with web pages alone. Not totally sure about the interface though...
