The original Die Hard filmed in 1924 would you believe it! Sorry but YouTube and GoogleVideo links are de rigueur this month.
Ben Griffin, former SAS trooper, explains why he was discharged from the army. “I didn’t join the British Army to conduct American foreign policy“
The Pocket Mod. A DIY mini info filofax thingy you design and then print out. Amazing!
A new type of gaming experience. A 30 minute lecture on the new game Spore. This is more interesting than it sounds.
Dave Gorman’s Flickr Adventure. From The Guardian.
Err… simply pictures of overloaded vehicles.

I’ve turned the music cube off for now as it wasn’t working too great when you scrolled the site.
If you didn’t see it or want to make your own then go to Radio 1 Music Cube.

I’ve never been a huge fan of South Park as I’ve never been able to understand what Cartman says and the first few episodes I watched really put me off.
There was one episode that made me realise that this program could be funny. It was a special sitcom spoof featuring the little used character Butters. The fact they could make a one-off episode like this really amazed me. It’s a quality show. Just click the Play button to watch either of these. First up is Butters.
And here’s the new Scientology episode which has been banned in the US and UK:

This is where I stand on the moral compass:

This means I’m a Socialist (apparently) and I’m close to Jimmy Carter’s views.
I got this test from Gav Politics and you can take it yourself at www.moral-politics.com.

I’m toying around with a MySpace account at the moment. http://www.myspace.com/kingofhove
Oh, and I thought this was funny. Dirty little bleeder!

I knocked this up in Photoshop from a meme floating around b3ta.

The amazing Russian experiment on pigs in space.
What sports bra do you need? This is somewhat mesmerising (and probably not safe for work).
Read the first issue of Planetary. A fun sci-fi comic (choose the “complete Planetary #1″ download at the bottom).
Go to Aristotle to find out more information on your local MP.
See what the Roman Internet was like. From b3ta.
See a Octopus eat a shark. From Google videos.
God has lost his faith in Blair. A message from God via Terry Jones.
See the first episode of my favourite BBC3 comedy Ideal. Either stream from the BBC site or watch this Tuesday at 10:30. I used to listen to some strange Graham Duff on Brighton radio back in the early nineties. I might have some copies of it somewhere although I’ve probably taped over them. Let me know if his archives are available anywhere.
Oh, and I’ve just upgraded from WordPress 1.5 to 2.0.1. This was all done successfully with the click of one button because my host (reliable Docklands company) has Fantastico installed. Just give me a shout if you need some brilliant hosting and I’ll sort something out for you. And let me know if you see any problems.

I’ve not been watching much television since Christmas, there just hasn’t been anything on I’ve really felt the need to stay in and watch. Last night a programme came on that justified the license fee in one 50 minute shot. It was Planet Earth. You can watch some amazing sequences from that link, including the great white shark hunting a seal. Truely amazing televison.
Also this week is Michael Winterbottom’s The Road to Guantanamo (C4 Thursday 21:00) which shows a reconstruction of how the Tipton Three ended up in Cuba. I’m sure they have Mr Bush to thank for that.
And on this week’s Culture Show (BBC2 Thursday 19:00 - repeat 23:20) is an appearance by Alan Moore, the mysterious creator of Watchmen and V For Vendetta. He’s an amazing man and its quite weird to hear his brummie accent after you’ve read his works for so long.
Oh, and I wouldn’t like to advertise that nasty satelite channel which exclusively showed the Oscars last night to about 8 viewers but this real life advert for The Simpsons is very clever.

I’ve been a bit flu’ed up this week so I’ve missed out on all the Russian love I normally get up to.
