It's been a while since I posted some of my favourite forages from around teh interwebz, so here are a few to keep you going...
Obama's stadium speech to 84,000
Barack Obama officially accepted the Democratic Party nomination for president this week with a rousing speech full of soaring rhetoric, policy detail and attacks on the Republican Party playbook. It's a fantastic speech well worth watching. 66 days till the election...
What Happened to Hillary...
Continuing the political theme, The Atlantic has a great in-depth article about the inner workings of Hillary Clinton's failed presidential campaign and why it went off the rails. Great reading for those interested in politics. Read it here.
The Phallic Logo Awards
Now for something fun - this is a contest for graphic designers to submit entries for companies whose logos look like... well... a cock and/or balls. It's astounding (and amusing) that these companies haven't realised their designers have been having a little fun with them, intentional or otherwise. Check out the phallic logo finalists here.
Photoshop for video?
Here is a video of some incredible technology that lets you apply a variety of Photoshop-style effects to video footage. Wow.
US Army using iPods in combat
US Army soldiers in Iraq and Afghanistan are using iPods with custom modifications as translators when dealing with the locals. The software contains thousands of phrases in all known dialects which can be played through an attached speaker. Apparently the iPod was chosen for its ease-of-use and familiarity among both US soldiers and Iraqi civilians.

Hi,
I'm just getting started with my new blog. Would you want to exchange links on our blog-rolls?
BTW - I'm up to about 100 visitors per day.

Hi Jamie,
If you recall, we did a link exchange a few months ago. When I saw your latest comment I checked your site again and it seems I had dropped off the list. I've trimmed my link list back considerably too, I only have about half a dozen of my favourite sites. If my plans change I'll let you know. In the meantime, good luck with the site :)
