You might like the first animated GIF I've been able to stare at for a while. Old-school stuff.

I said they didn't, but they do. The Chaser *does* have an actual video podcast. Check out the links further down their podcast page. If you're reading from the US, this is Australia's closest equivalent to The Daily Show, but better. Uneven, but better.
We do get The Daily Show here, too -- but it's only shown weekly. I'm sure that makes sense to someone, somewhere.

Salads and healthy options gone; meat, cheese and fat back up there? Check out this Guardian report on 'extreme dining' in the US. My favourite quote:
The American burger restaurant Wendy's added a fresh-fruit bowl to its menu; at the end of last year, the company quietly killed it, blaming a lack of demand. "We listened to consumers who said they wanted to eat fresh fruit," a disarmingly honest spokesman told the New York Times, "but apparently they lied."

The ABC (Australia's BBC) now offers shows through streaming media. They've called it vodcasting, though it's not iPod-friendly nor saveable. I heartily recommend The Chaser's War on Everything from that previous link -- sure, it's patchy, but there's a pisstake of "Hilarious Foreign Language Mistakes" that's brilliant. Fab.

It's old, but I love The Graphing Calculator Story. In honour of the WWDC keynote tomorrow? Naaah. Just for fun.

Double post time, a dupe from my secondlife blog.
For the older among you: remember when people started telling you about "the web"? Or even Compuserve? Would you have thought that in just a few years it would revolutionise the way a lot of us access, share, publish information?
Here we go again: Second Life is the 3D web. It's going to be huge. Get in now and tell your friends.
