I succumbed to peer pressure today and bought a Wii. It’s still in it’s box and it smells very new. The release of both Mariokart and Wii Fit was what tipped the scale. Wii numbers and mingling will no doubt follow. ]]> http://boakes.org/wii/feed/ http://boakes.org/sna-anthem/ http://boakes.org/sna-anthem/#comments Mon, 12 Feb 2007 16:27:10 +0000 Rich Sun|Netscape Alliance iPlanet Know How Kick Off Hyatt Regency San Francisco Corporate Anthem Justin Timberlake http://boakes.org/sna-anthem/ Warning: apache_lookup_uri() [function.apache-lookup-uri]: Unable to include '/pics/2007/iplanet/knowhow' - error finding URI in /home/www/boakes.org/htdocs/mods/plugins/boakes-depicticon.php on line 65
Back in the last century after Netscape merged with AOL, a 3-year deal was struck between AOL and Sun Microsystems such that the Professional Services groups from Sun and Netscape would work together on projects that benefited both companies.

The Empire has backed the Jedi Council in its bid to be exempt from laws on adoption by families of fewer than three genders. Jedi leaders from Coruscant to Endor say its teachings prevent its masters placing children with lifeform collectives that only comprise one or two genders and have threatened to close their adoption centres [...]]]> http://boakes.org/jedi-sith-adoption/feed/ http://boakes.org/pigeons/ http://boakes.org/pigeons/#comments Wed, 13 Dec 2006 16:11:03 +0000 Rich pigeon pigeon cull kingston upon thames funny http://boakes.org/pigeons/ Warning: apache_lookup_uri() [function.apache-lookup-uri]: Unable to include '/pics/2006/pigeons/pigeon' - error finding URI in /home/www/boakes.org/htdocs/mods/plugins/boakes-depicticon.php on line 65
If you’re a pigeon, avoid Kingston Upon Thames until the pigeon cull is over. If you’re a human, don’t miss the comments on this Surrey Comet story about the pigeon cull, they’re internet gold. “I’m horrified at the very idea anyone might want to harm these gentle creatures.

The Nintendo Wii has now enjoyed it’s first week of sales and stories are floating around the net that the wireless controller (mentioned previously) has been finding itself airborne due to players getting sweaty hands. Videos of the problem are already surfacing.

The Sony Bravia Advert with the thousands of bouncy balls is certainly one of the most visually striking pieces of advertising art from the last few years, so it was only a matter of time before it was copied.

BoingBoing just featured the smiley-face crater that can be seen on Mars (or if you can’t see that far, on the ESA Mars Express website). Yes, it’s got two eyes, a little nose and a smile, but this looks too much like the Millennium Falcon to ignore. ]]> http://boakes.org/millennium-falcon-on-mars/feed/
