What Is Flig?

The BBC has announced that they are doing a remake of The Prisoner, starring Christopher Eccelston.

Okay, it's a cliche by now, but Fantastic!

Now they just need to greenlight a Blake's 7 revival.

Something's Coming...

Of all the tributes to James Doohan, I think Ace's is the most profane.

It's also the funniest:

...

The only man in the history of Star Fleet

to wear a Red Shirt and live tell the tale

You're now wearing a white uniform

kind of like those queer uniforms in the first Star Trek movie

Only with a insignia in the shape of a Jesus Fish

and a phaser set to "love."

And you're not fat anymore

This site is filled with dozens of downloadable remixes of the Doctor Who theme song.

Among my favorites: Elegy for Doctor No. 9 but there are all kinds of odd and interesting experiments to be found.

And if you can track it down, Orbital's live performance is worth a listen.

Mary Poppins vs. Willy Wonka.

I think Wonka has the advantage inside his factory, but on the streets of London Mary takes him down.

I have a 20-hour TiVo Series 1, which I will pass on free to the first person who wants it. Pick up or pay shipping.

The best new blog I've seen in a while: The Darth Side

Witty, funny and oddly moving. Who knew Lord Vader had such depth.

If it just weren't for that trachea-crushing fetish of his.

Adobe is buying Macromedia. This unites two of my least favorite web technologies: PDF and Flash.

Note: PDF has some great advantages as a document format. I just hate it for web-based applications. Opening a PDF inevitably freezes my browser for up to 2-3 minutes.

Thanks to Laurence I've got a Yahoo360 page. It's kind of an attempt to merge the raging success of blogs with the utter lack of long-term success of Social Networks like Friendster and Orkut.

And boy is it ugly.
