This video shows you how to transfer Vinyl or cassette to CD for free – Very useful, and saves you having to buy one of those expensive rip-off USB turntables.

Here are some fabulous presenter showreels found by a comedy hero of mine, Robert Popper. They are fabulous because they are terrible. Exhibit 1 features the most boring interview ever conducted by a human being. This aspiring young interviewer has been lucky enough to find a lady who works at Safeway, reducing the price of distressed items.

Highlight: “How do you know they are regulars? I suppose they come in a lot?”

Also, his voice sounds as though he has swallowed a kazoo.

Exhibit 2 is of a young Alan Partridge, the presenter of the ‘Wacky 12 till 2’ slot on some godforsaken radio station. His version of to-camera gravitas makes him look as though he’s recently had his neck greased, and the vhs-vhs editing is a wonder to behold.

Christ.

Thank you Mr Popper, you have made my day with these (There’s a TV series here somewhere, I’d say)

Utterly utterly brilliant song by Fagottron, who takes audio from movies and turns them into beautiful music which, for some reason I cannot put my finger on, has a real haunting melancholic quality. The video is aceness too.

This is a photo of therealllcoolj, showing his ebay item of 4 gift cards for ‘future shop’ on the canadian version of ebay, the ubiquitous online auction site.

Its the best online auction page ever for these reasons:

1. It has background music (really good background music)

2. It has LOADS of pictures of this dude modelling the gift cards

3. It has no other description

4. It has a Batman endorsement

My mate Dave wrote this song – 42 – Which isn’t about the answer to life, the universe and everything; but about his unnatural obsession with that number. I made him a music video to go with it, and this is it.

As far as I can figure it, photochaining is a little like a chain letter but rather less annoying and far more digital-age. What you do is this:

Take an amusing photo and leave it on a memory card in a public place. The person who finds it has to download your photo and send it to a website (www.photochainning.com) then delete your photo from the card, take one of their own and repeat the whole exercise.

It all sounds like good clean fun, especially as the memory cards themselves are given cute, one-word names like Anna, Alice, Franz and Lola. I guess, as it grows, it’ll become even more interesting as we follow these little cards around the world. The whole thing reminds me of those balloon competitions they used to have where they release zillions (or more likely 100) balloons with tags attached to see which one travels the furthest, which always used to make me laugh when they only got a mile or two away.

The picture above, incidentally, is from the “gimme” card which was found in Rio de Janeiro in March. Go and check it our. And, when you find a memory card in a clear plastic bag, you’ll know what to do.

Yes, he’s insensitive, crass and rude, and I love him. I don’t watch much TV but I would watch it everyday if he was on our screens. In this clip, Paul Holmes talks about a lady’s moustache.

Via Ironwolf, here is a talk by Pattie Maes of The Media Lab at TED about the next level of Information access. She shows an amazing device that projects information wherever you happen to be - On a wall, your hand, another person; and is controlled by a small camera which follows your hand movements, much like ‘Minority Report’.

It is awesomely cool.

Ironwolf is a blogger who tends, in his more serious moments, to write very well about religion and other crazy stuff. Slam-dunking the apologists pretty much sums it up.

When in less serious mode, he jots down all the interesting and fun stuff he finds online, online. The pictures above are a good example, and that makes his mad, crazy, daft blog well worth a glance or three.
