And on number 1: Battlestar Galactica.
“Most of you probably think this entry has got to be a joke. The rest of you have actually watched the show.”
Damn right, can’t think of anything better I’ve seen in years actually.
The list

Wordpress 2.0 due to be released this week, looking forward to play around with that quite a bit, especially after reading about all the new stuff that’s supposed to be in there. Along with that K2 should hit 1.0, so as soon as the plugins are confirmed as being compatible or are updated I can continue work on this layout.
Apple’s Xserve: MIA or DOA in the Enterprise? This one continues to puzzle me as well, seeing as the Xserves are pretty cheap compared to other servers, and they make me go mmm every time I see one. Maybe the userbase is part of the problem. In general Apple users tend to be non-techies, who won’t exactly be introducing Xserves into a corporate environment.
Meanwhile the countdown to January continues and rumours continue to spread about whether or not Apple will start pushing Intel systems in January already or not, what chip they’ll use and which product line will be the first to go Intel.
The trailer for The Da Vinci Code is released, the trailer does look nice, despite my Tom Hanks allergy. Hmm, maybe I’ll finally read the book, I’m usually a bit hesitant about books like this which are embraced by the general public. But you never know, it could actually be good.
And speaking of good…. if you haven’t seen the new Battlestar Galactica yet, get it… NOW. If you’re even halfway interested in sci-fi and have an IQ with 3 digits this is one series you don’t want to miss. It’s so brilliant I’m even tempted to write my first review ever just to express how much I love it.
The only downside is having to wait until January for the next episode, damn what a cliffhanger.

James has revived the Jay series at Flem.
The return of the coolest online comic… me happy.
Check it out here.
Hmmmm, I do wonder if the miraculous return is solely because of this, it would be shame if he doesn’t reach his target then (not to mention if that’s the only reason he’ll probably run out of inspiration soon). At any rate, cool comic by a cool bloke (if anyone can remember him dropping by on the first incarnation of the forum, back in 2001, which unfortunately didn’t survive the transfer to phpBB), so read and donate if you like it.
Eh, I should probably add a little warning here that the comic is a little unsuited for those under 18, but pffft.

Looking over my stats I’m surprised to see how many people end up here because they enter “X111″ in a search engine. What ARE you looking for?
And I laughed when I saw someone had come here after searching for “MORE LIFE FOR X111″.
Yeah mate, that’s what I’m looking for too.

“Architecture of Density, an exhibition of large scare color photographs by Michael Wolf, reveals the sheer density of living in Hong Kong.”
Simply awesome, and intimidating in a claustrophobic kind of way. I wouldn’t want to live in a skyscraper like that, looks pretty depressing.

“The human brain anticipates unimportant sensations, such as your own touch, so it can focus on important input like, say, a tarantula crawling up your neck.”
And that’s today’s useless bit of info which I for one am pleased to have come across.

Google Desktop 2 got released today.
The new sidebar looks nice, if a bit 90’s compared to the likes of Samurize, but I’m sure plenty of people will find it useful.
I still don’t see the use for it for myself, most of my stuff’s organized and this is way too unstructured but meh, see for yourself.

Someone at Nestlé had a revelation and they came up with coffee-beer.
I wonder how this idea saw the light of day, one can imagine someone over there being drunk one night and pondering on the joys of beer.

A new website for AmigaOS4.0 has been launched, this time by Hyperion.
I lost track of all the drama in the past year but this is really shaping up like a second Duke Nukem Forever.
E.T.A: no bloody clue.
Such a shame, part of me still wants to believe, even after all these years.
