Harmony
Amazing HTML5 procedural canvas-drawing example.
Completely written in HTML5 & JS it's a funny toy to play with and a good showcase of the possibilities offered by the new standard.
Looking forward for a wide implementation (along with CSS3 specs).

HATETRIS
Have you ever played Tetris so much that when you went to sleep you dreamt of falling tetrominoes?
Have you ever had a really spicy Indian dinner and then enjoyed nightmares all night?
Have you ever done both at the same time, experiencing Tetris-themed nightmares?
xkcd describes a Tetris based hell for all you addicted but, if you really want to try how it feels when you have been a bad player and are now being punished, check HATETRIS.
It really makes you feel miserable and there's also a replay function to hammer what remains of your ego over and over again.

MGMT – Flash Delirium
The music video for MGMT's "Flash Delirium" from their new record "Congratulations".
Directed by Andreas Nilsson in a nicely Lovecraftian way.

How to make a Lava Lamp the easy way
Funny Science Bob clip about how to make a Lava Lamp with water, cooking oil, food colouring and Alka Seltzer.
The geek inside me is champing at the idea of trying it out :þ

CODEORGAN
Googling late at night always brings amazing stuff.
Yesterday I found CODEORGAN a web based (literally) automatic music generator.
CODEORGAN
From the page's about:
THE CODEORGAN ANALYSES THE *BODY* CONTENT OF ANY WEB PAGE AND TRANSLATES THAT CONTENT INTO MUSIC. THE CODEORGAN USES A COMPLEX ALGORITHM TO DEFINE THE KEY, SYNTH STYLE AND DRUM PATTERN MOST APPROPRIATE TO THE PAGE CONTENT.
A very big Bravo to the authors and as they say "GO AND MAKE BEAUTIFUL MUSIC TOGETHER."
The Noble’s Sunday Roast
I'm just back home from the, as usual, amazing Sunday's eat out at The Noble.
It's a small and very cozy pub at the crossing between Crouch Hill and Sparsholt Rd (N4 4AP)
The Noble
The lunch (at half past three I'm not sure I can still call it a lunch, but anyway...) started with a pint of San Miguel and some olives.
Then I enjoyed a luxurious roast beef with roasted vegetables (sweet potatoes, potatoes, parsnips and squash), boiled savoy, homemade Yorkshire pudding and gravy. Simply amazing.
The roast beef
After this one I was almost thinking of going back home when the table next to mine got some desserts. One of them was a crumble. I LOOOVE crumble. So I capitulated and ordered it myself.
Apple and apricots crumble with ginger sabayon. Fantastic. Still piping hot from the oven and with the hearty flavor of the custard. Yum!

I closed with another pint of San Miguel.
I know, I know. I'll go to hell. But, you know what? Perhaps if I'm naughty enough I can be even hired :þ
God Hates Shrimp
It is certain now.
Prawns, mussels, clams, lobsters, oysters are all abominations before the Lord!
More or less like gay people.
Leviticus 11:9-12 says:
9 These shall ye eat of all that are in the waters: whatsoever hath fins and scales in the waters, in the seas, and in the rivers, them shall ye eat.
10 And all that have not fins and scales in the seas, and in the rivers, of all that move in the waters, and of any living thing which is in the waters, they shall be an abomination unto you:
11 They shall be even an abomination unto you; ye shall not eat of their flesh, but ye shall have their carcases in abomination.
12 Whatsoever hath no fins nor scales in the waters, that shall be an abomination unto you.
Two Gentlemen of Lebowski
Amazing! Simply amazing.
The Big Lebowski as a Shakespeare play. Someone really should act this one.
BONNIE: I mean only the wind in thine own maw in this case; blow, then, serve your turn and cool my hot temper.
THE KNAVE: Sayst thou that I must blow upon thy foot, painted lady?
BONNIE: I ask this deed of you thrice now; and that which a damsel craves constantly is the service of a tongue most moved in capability. Look to my foot; I cannot reach that far. Blow, wind!
THE KNAVE: I fear thy charms. Will not thy consort mind If I bestow his lady fair my wind?
BONNIE: Nay, there’s naught for which Oliver carest; He mindeth not, for he’s a nihilist.
(Two Gentlemen of Lebowski, by Adam Bertocci)
