100 top books?

I'm extremely sceptical of a list of the 100 best books of all time, when at pole position they have the Harry Potter books (which notably makes it at least 106, without there being any other series of books...)
on the sydney morning herald website, no less!

progress!

well hopefully anyway...

i have a good plan for the next week or two, and if everything works (not that i'm expecting it to... there's bound to be at least one more problem) then i will actually make progress, and be somewhere on the way to getting this bloody thing finished! hurrah!

just testing something

I got a funky little dashboard widget that lets me post to my blog... without having to go through a browser.

so maybe i'll use this thing a bit more

don't know... but i'm always in need of extra procrastination methods :) maybe my other blog will get more posts, as i am actively pursuing crystal work now...

who knows!

iPhones....

linky


the above link i think you'll all find quite interesting. it's a comparison of iPhone marketing images.

I personally am not a fan of the iPhone. It's overhyped for what it is. At the end of the day I don't like to spend a lot of money on a phone, and my $AU200 sony ericsson does everything i want in a phone, apparently better than an iPhone would...

they are also found to have touch screens that only work for 3-6 months under heavy use. Hooray! the only input system lasts for half a year! awesome! (just google it) my old nokia (from 2000 folks) and a number of friends old phones (even older) are still going strong... sure they don't do quite as much, but they work.

sheer genius!
