Friday Round-up

Yes, not much has been happening online over Christmas to report about. I’ve just been playing The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess (Wii) on my Wii and watching the first season of The Wire which is shaping up to be the best cop show of all time, even after watching just 5 episodes.

Ibiza Sonica – Nice (for a Flash site). Check out the 1 hour eclectic mix by Charles Webster by going to Downloads, then hovering over the record box.

Stumble Video – This is the closest thing to turning YouTube into a viable TV station. Just watch the videos it shows and rate them. Stumble will then start to learn your likes and dislikes. I hope this works on my Wii!

And if you really want to keep a video you see on YouTube then just visit the Video Downloader 2.0 site. This will store the video on your hard drive. You can then put it on your phone if you like.

Whats looking like being the biggest nerd debate of 2006/7, the Wii vs the PS3. Read about the designer’s perspective over at GamaSutra.

Here’s a 9 minute interview and clips of Daddy Freddy on Record Breakers and Blue Peter. I remember him vividly but I can’t find too many others out there who remember him.

Listen to The Guardian’s political cartoonist Steve Bell as he takes a tour around his home town, Brighton.
