Following on from the great performance of the fat Dutch man comes Backstreet Boys’ As Long As You Love Me (4MB video file, let’s hope it’s mirrored soon!). It’s done in the same style by 2 lads, with another guy playing CS in the background. Love those facial expressions! 🙂

Rainbow Plucking Orgy.. now with a script!
Ages ago I linked to the Rainbow Plucking Orgy. It’s an episode of a 70s/80s childrens tv program, but with a script containing jokes that might go over the heads of children! Here’s the episode and that script too! 🙂 (via Gavin and Ryan)

It resets back to 0 to protect against people unfairly benefitting from the pagerank of the old site! Some would call it domain hijacking but I don’t think it deserves such a violent name!

Contrasting Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ5 Reviews
Hmm, I wonder if it’s possible that dpreview and PC Mag were looking at the same camera? DPReview gave the FZ5 a glowing review, while PC Mag slated it! I’ve used one for over 2 weeks now and all the photos that appeared here over that period were taken with it. It’s a great camera, but not perfect: The view finder is a bit small. I was spoilt by the large one on the Sony F717! Controls can be a little fiddly. Things are hidden within menus. This is probably a ciritisism that can be leveled at many cameras at […]
