10×10 / 100 Words and Pictures that Define the Time / by Jonathan J. Harris

Every hour, 10×10 scans the RSS feeds of several leading international news sources, and performs an elaborate process of weighted linguistic analysis on the text contained in their top news stories. After this process, conclusions are automatically drawn about the hour’s most important words. The top 100 words are chosen, along with 100 corresponding images, culled from the source news stories. At the end of each day, month, and year, 10×10 looks back through its archives to conclude the top 100 words for the given time period. In this way, a constantly evolving record of our world is formed, based on prominent world events, without any human input.

No prizes for guessing what pictures you’ll mostly see right now.

Diary of a Nottingham Chav

The lLeft Lion is a little slice of home that I really enjoy once in a while. read the drunken ramblings of a baseball capped hooligan who spends most of his days…….

wandering round the city of Nottingham looking for fights, calling people tossers or knobheads.

Most enlightening.

Feeling hungry? Why not follow this student’s example and create an obscenely big sandwich, re-named the Manwich.

It apparently contains 8500 calories including chilli burgers BBQ burgers, garlic mushrooms, tacos, sausages, cheese and HP sauce.

It apparently got eaten over 2 days

PC EZ-Bake Oven

For lack of DVD writers in Thailand, I have either the option of replacing my crappy E drive with either a DVD reader, or maybe this, were it to exist in this country. It sits in one of those holes for disk drives runs off your PC power supply and bakes tiny 3 bite cakes.

Also included is “PC Ez-Cook”, the open-source oven controller software with hundreds of easy and creative recipes for your PC Ez-Bake oven, and even a fuzzy-logic cooking control system to precisely measure the doneness of your cake, cookie, or cheese souffle. The PC Ez-Bake oven can even be used to cook your Pop Tarts, Bagel Bites, or any tiny or flat food. YUM!

Though it may also be worth mentioning that it was an April Fools Joke ( and no I didn’t hit post BEFORE I discovered this. Unlike Mr RSS)

MINDistortion presents: bubbles

Waay too addictive…don’t play this unless you want some serious time warp effects to take place as you struggle to make your bubble as big as you can whilst grooving to some very funky music (a Daft Punk loop if I’m not mistaken)

Who’d have thought that trying to figure out which close-up letters are which could waste an entire 30 minutes of my Sports Week afternoon skive. I’ve given up with 19-21 correct. Can you do any better?

UPDATE: I went back and finished it…very tough challenge.
