New York Times Emphasis

18/01/2011

The developers at NYTimes.com have come up with a fab way of allowing people to link to specific paragraphs in articles, and highlight sentences. Here’s a link to the instructions, for example. At the moment I’d guess it’s only nerds like me that’d use something like this, hopefully it’ll become a common design pattern.

NSFW: Elephant Birth

17/01/2011

Usually I’d share the elephant videos with the elephant-obsessed wifelet privately, but these are brilliant. If you’re at work, or just squeamish, you probably don’t want to load the first one, although you could load the second, it’s cute. The birth is incredible though, I actually cheered along and applauded. :)

MMM: 42l V12 Packard Bentley

17/01/2011

It was a Bentley 8 Litre, now it’s a Bentley Packard 42 Litre. 1500hp at 2400rpm, 160mph. I use the word a lot, but I think it’s justified: Terrifying.

MMM: Revised Audi eTron

17/01/2011

Despite being a general fan of Audi, I haven’t been mad about the eTron up until this point, especially the awful orange coupé presented last year — I thought it best not to torture your eyes with it. The red spider rolled out at CES is nice though.

FFF: Pig On A Spit?

14/01/2011

This is actually a Beer post in disguise. I don’t know whether The Sextant still does a pig on a spit on the first Friday of the month any more, but that’s where the next First Friday beers will be starting anyway, at 7pm on the 4th of February. Bring numnums if they don’t.

These posts will henceforth be prepended FFF, for First Friday Fun. Cringeworthy, eh?
