Silliness:

Fascinating video about how you could evolve a watch, if only watches reproduced. The guy who made it has a bit of a bee in his bonnet, clearly.

Silliness:

Maps + Wikipedia Edits = this thing. Where in the world do the most pedantic / bored people live? Now you know.

Silliness:

A list of surprisingly useful websites, since when is the fact things are useful surprising?

This animation collection is mental.

Geekiness:

I would love it if my apps told me this when they crashed.

Silliness:

Microsoft's map service just keeps getting better; this time they've combined the 3D version with the bird's eye view photos such that the photos overlay the 3D scene perfectly... It's pretty cool.

Silliness:

Supremely silly, this video of the British army testing LSD on soldiers to see what the affects were.

Not good if you want to run an effective combat unit apparantly:

Geekiness:

Especially for Ellie, here's an online list-creating website from MS. It's better than that sounds though. (You can subscribe to other people's lists for example, and get updated when their list changes.)

Silliness:

Ingenious prank.

Geekiness:

Pro-linux Journalist misses the point, not that they fixed 1000 security vulnerabilities, but that they had 1000 vulnerabilities to fix.

Swearing at work is good for stress... Jesus! What fucking moron did this study?

Yes yes yes yes yes! Yes! Yes! YES!!!! Of course there should be a big-ass extension of the science musem... Why are you even asking? In fact why do they have to compete for the paltry £50million it'll cost to build. Just give them £50million right now!

In fact, give them £100million, I don't care if you have to tax me an extra £10 this year to pay for it.

In fact, give them £100 million every single year, and let's have science museums in every single damn city in the country. (And make Bristol's bigger, and more grown-up.)

In fact, (last time) I declare this Science Museum Day for Great Britain! Mark it on the calendar! Observe the 16th of October as a day to remember all the cool interactive exhibits which got you interested in science and, dammit, visit a science museum today and give them money! Even if they don't ask for any! Just find some official and press some paper notes into their hands telling them to find something cool to spend it on. I'm sure there's an enigma machine or two on eBay they could get.

Science is celebrated rarely enough in a world saturated with it, we need more science museums!

Honestly, Michelangelo was a genius and all that, but Richard Feynman has had infinitely more impact on your life. Let's get some recognition here dammit!

Do you have adultitis? Be warned! This is an epidemic, and it will only get worse before it gets better.

Silliness:

I love the Sony advert people, although I bought a Samsung.

I like this article, favourite quote: I thought the big draw for Apple hardware was that “It Just Works.” By breaking it, you must know you’re giving up the “Just Works” factor, so what’s left? Rounded corners?

Silliness:

Zero Punctuation have decided to go straight for the, "I'm contrary and don't care" demographic with this review of Halo3.

You'd be astonished what people can manage when working together.

In a continuation of the whole "internet for video" theme: berkeley put a stack of lectures up on youtube.

Silliness:

Software is hard, everyone agrees...

Geekiness:

Yes, yes, I know the silly link is pretty geeky, but this is really geeky. Some interesting articles regarding highly-scalable architectures.

Silliness:

Cuban publicity-opportunity exploited to maximum.

Ellie's Link:

Interesting way of using captcha to help preserve old books.

Silliness:

Here's an interesting talk, on a topic that is both far-reaching and relevant for the modern world.

God decides to clarify the whole "don't kill people" rule. It should now read "thou shalt not kill, ever, at all, seriously, no-one, not even really annoying people."

Oh man, I so want this job now. I'm really good at graphics tightening.

Geekiness:

A collection of interesting links from Raymond Chen.

Teh Awesomeness for sharing files with friends and parents. MS are bringing office onto the internet, and it sounds cool.
