From Sarah 2.0 comes some lost footage from her London trip...

And look! There’s more...

Oops. I seem to have accidentally upset some Second Life users with my column this week.
“Wandering around Second Life today is like visiting Blackpool in February; all sad empty shops, deserted car parks and the stench of loneliness — and the opportunity to buy a fake cock for two quid. Occasionally — very occasionally [...]

Ridiculously busy - and now on my way to a panel about Brands and Blogging, whatever that means. Just time to post this link to my last guest hosting slot on the Guardian Tech Weekly podcast. Guest starring Angus.

I’m supposed to be writing something very important, with an absolutely unmissable deadline of Tuesday.
So of course I’ve been displacing by doing yet another job I’ve been putting off for months - transferring all of the posts I wrote on the old TFT Vox blog (2005-2006) over here. Note the newly extended archive, bottom [...]

Grant Bell of VooVeo has just posted an excellent video of Tewy beatboxing when we hijacked the MySpace bus at FOWA...

“Benjamin - Ben - Cohen is one of that rare breed of people: someone I took a passionate dislike to from the very first time I heard his name, without even having met him. Actually, I should clarify that - it wasn’t his name that made me dislike him; that would make me sound like [...]

Back in 2003, Vice Admiral Timothy J. Keating, Commander of the American Fifth Fleet stood in front of the crew of the USS Constellation and warned them that the President was about to order the first strike of the Iraq war.
Of course, being American - and clearly aware he was also standing in front [...]

My latest NSFW Guardian column has just been published. It’s about Jerry Yang. Obviously.

It was slightly later than planned as I had to debate with my editor over whether I could accuse Yang of biting the head off an owl.
Really.

My second guest-hosting gig at the Guardian Tech Weekly Podcast is now live.
Featuring Bobbie’s interview with Saul Griffith, Jemima and Charles’ trip to the Guardian Hackday and some emotionally-stirring nonsense with the Phoenix lander. Oh and me explaining how I have ‘nothing but contempt’ for the Guardian’s blog commentors. How to win friends and influence [...]

Hermione Way has just posted the highlights video from when Rob and I interviewed Sarah 2.0 on stage in a strip club. Here you go...
(The NYPD Blue camera work is particularly fitting, given the venue)

And then, of course, there was the after-party.

Excellent news! Joe The Plumber has a book coming out.
According to Fox News (natch) it’s going to be called ‘Joe the Plumber - Fighting for the American Dream’.
Now, I know what you’re thinking. You’re thinking, that’s a book I’d definitely buy, if only it had a better title. And you’re absolutely right, which [...]

The other day, for the first time in ages, I checked out my Google Analytics stats. Not the page views, you understand - like my book sales figures, I really don’t want to start down that road, lest it turns me crazy.
No, rather I was curious what search terms people used to find [...]

Oops. Not twelve hours after I write a column saying that London needs its own Valleywag so, it seems, does San Francisco.

Nick Denton has decided to roll Silicon Valley’s favourite only tech gossip blog and its skeleton staff into Gawker to consolidate pageviews and weather the impending ad revenue storm.
I’m not sure how I [...]

I feel like someone has Duck Taped a truck to a baseball bat and hit me in the liver with it, while simultaniously sucking my brain out through a curly straw. The last week or so has been mental.
For a start there was 24HoursInAmerica - liveblogging the US Election for 24 hours straight, with James [...]

Huzzah! 24HoursInAmerica.com is now live.
Proceedings kick off at 1pm GMT (8am Eastern, 5am Pacific) with myself, James Aylett and Sarah Bee plus a whole host of special guests liveblogging the entire US election for 24 hours straight.
Meantime, check out 24 Hours In America TV (here, middle column) for amusing election-related videos and the like. Live programming [...]

1. The lower jaw of the badger is articulated to the upper by means of a transverse condyle firmly locked into a long cavity of the cranium. This enables the badger to maintain its hold with the utmost tenacity.
2. Some badgers are solitary, moving from home to home, while others are known to form clans.
3. Contrary [...]

I mentioned yesterday that I’m doing an exciting election thing this coming week, and that one of my partners in crime (electoral fraud?) will be James Aylett.
I never tire of telling the story of how I met James. In 2003, I was sent up to the Edinburgh Fringe by the Guardian, in the hope of [...]

One sunny afternoonm, while we were out in the Valle, Rob wandered out on to the patio, looked over at me hunched over my laptop and said, quite matter of factly: “I never realised before - you actually work quite hard.”
I think he meant it as a compliment, but he does highlight a real problem: [...]
