Yes, people. This is Yet Another Drupal Mentioning:

Tod Maffin is, as he puts it himself, "the CBC's technology columnist and is a technology futurist". And since it's the time of year for Top10's or Top5's or TopWhatevers, he's put up a list of his Top Five Products of 2005.

Guess what's at number 4... *sigh*

(Hint: it's not really my favorite, as we all know by now.)

Isn't it a bit strange that Tod Maffing blogs with WP? Still, kudo's to the Drupal community. May 2006 be an even more succesful year for you geeks guys. ;-)

Oh, those bells...

(Just a slightly Shameless Plug™ for the cool company I work for.)

Check out this funny holiday movie (SFW) of one of my colleages. And make sure you listen closely to what those guys are talking about.

Right away, Michael!

KITT for sale on eBay. I want it! (But would it my company's let me lease it?)

The scanner sound effect is also added to external speakers so it can be heard while the scanner is running. Besides the original Universal registration, the car comes with the original stamped steel "KNIGHT" license plate...

(Via Engadget, via Boingboing.)

You pour thing, if you don't see the point of spelling correctly

I've been nagging Bee about pour poor spelling and punctuation on several occasions. Of course, the tongue-in-cheeck sometimes 'hits the wrong snare'. To the (easily) offended: Excuse me. (Just a little bit.)

Via Signal vs. Noise, today I encountered this wonderful article on the decline of correct English spelling, which quite gently-but-firmly makes my point.

"Yet it's an unignorable fact: when e-mailing and texting, people use a hybrid form of language that is half-talking, half-writing. Hence the decline of punctuation; hence all this annoying "gist" talk; and hence the universal cavalier disregard for spelling."

But that's not the point, yet. Read the whole article! (It's good. Even though it mentions Bill Cosby.)

VVD tegen OSS

U heeft het al her en der kunnen lezen: de overheid moet niet meer open source gaan gebruiken. Tenminste, dat vind Zsolt Szabo van de VVD.

Goh Zsolt, meen je dat nou?
