The Daily Show has firmly established its role as Uncle Sam's court jester, saying some very serious things under the protective smokscreen of "comedy", so who better to skewer the American media's pro-Israel bias?



P.S: A counter .

Hey, you know the way Keanu Reeves' acting performances tend to be somewhat wooden? They should call him iKeanu Reeves. That's funny shit, and Mark Kermode agrees.


Yes, this (apart from the birth of my son) has made my year.

I got a toy. Yay! I can't open it until Christmas. Boo! I opened it and set it up and it rocks! Double yay!!

Nokia 770 GPS kit

It's the "Navigation Kit" that goes with my Nokia 770.

I have wanted a GPS forever because, as far as I'm concerned, a little device that that can pinpoint your exact location on a little screen and give you directions is sufficiently advanced technology. It doesn't matter that I don't and probably won't ever really need one, they're just fucking magic, more than mobile phones, photorealistic video games, the internet, anything. Look, it fucking fits in my pocket but it can hear a satellite 12,000 miles away! The day that stops being amazing is the day I fly to work in my hovercar.

I was browsing around our local Vodafone shop at lunchtime today and, after a few minutes staring blankly at all the Nokias, Samsungs, Sony-Ericssons and a handful of LGs and Blackberries, it dawned on me: where had all the Motorolas gone? I asked the shop assistant and she confidently informed me that they had "stopped making them". "I dunno, they just told us one day they weren't making them anymore".

Huh? And it's not just Vodafone Ireland; O2.ie are only offering one model, the E8 and Meteor none at all. Vodafone UK have one model, the V9. Vodafone Deutschland hat nur noch zwei.

Are they really as screwed as this article suggested back in July? To put it bluntly, it would seem so. That's a shame. Hands up who remembers the first Eircell Ready To Go 088 bricks made by Motorola back in 1997? You remember, the year that phones came to the masses in Ireland?

Good morning! I didn't sleep much. Had a bunch of weird nightmares and woke in a cold sweat. On the plus side, my cold is much better; I can breathe through my nose and everything. That Nurofen Cold & Flu really is the bomb.

Common adverse drug reactions (ADRs) associated with pseudoephedrine therapy include: CNS stimulation, sleeplessness, nervousness, excitability, dizziness and anxiety.

Hey, what the fuck is that supposed to mean? I shouldn't have taken two just before I went to bed? Fuck off. You're not the boss of me.

About

This is LeSinge.org v3.0. It's on its sixth* server since I registered the domain name in November of 2000 and it has gone through several drastic facelifts in that time, usually prompted by some cataclysmic event like someone deleting a load of files they shouldn't, or a server being shut down. This is the maddest layout yet; I'm trying to fit the entire weblog (apart from diary archives and the gallery) into a single loading page using all sorts of PHP-generated DHTML jiggery-pokery. The idea is to make it more inviting to look around since there's no loading between "pages". It's still a work in progress (more a proof of concept than anything), so be patient!

I'm Dave Whyte, an Irish CS graduate, German speaker, linguist and incredibly talented web developer. I'm originally from Fermoy but I now live in Newbridge with my wife Beth and our son. I'm currently working for these fine folks and enjoying it greatly.

"The Monkey"? Eh?

My nom de guerre comes from an old Eddie Izzard comedy sketch. I also like Calvin & Hobbes. I've cobbled together a searchable archive of the strips.
