last nights’ ‘planet earth‘ was as good as the first.. i’m really liking this series so far, and i just read that after the initial 5 episodes, there’s going to be 6 new ones in the autumn. superb.

the snow leopard bits were particularily cool.. and in honour of the cameraman’s 3 year stay in the mountains to get those shots, i thought i’d share my own photo of the elusive creature.

took me all of 3 minutes. in dublin. but still, looks cool

might as well join the list of people who link to this.. the ‘real life simpsons intro‘ which is undeniably cool. very nicely done. intended as a short for sky, word is it’s gonna be a viral.. or should that be, it has already turned into a viral. and i’m contributing to the spread.

worth a peep.

(oh, and while trawling, saw this too.. real life simpsons house. very odd.)

so apparently people use the internet more than they watch television. according to a recent report, “the average internet user now spends an average of 41 days online each year, the equivalent of 164 minutes a day, compared with 37 days each year or 148 minutes each day spent watching TV“.. 164 minutes a day?! my eyes would be grateful for something less than 500 minutes once in a while.

i wonder what counted as an ‘internet user’.. someone who uses the internet at least 2 and a half hours a day perhaps..

still, it’s a jump forward from the last survey which reckoned that internet/tv time was about equal. not to mention it’s a nice omen for the multicasting trials by the bbc and itv..

everything’s more fun on the interweb.

..is my place of birth.

new wildlife series on bbc 1, started on sunday but is repeated on saturday for people who dozed. well worth watching. some of the shots are unreal.. really impressive stuff. love it.

check the bbc page for programme times and some cool flash video thing. apparently there’s a lava lake on the next one! lava is cool. it’s official.

having, as i do, access to the wonderful world of the interweb, i couldn’t resist getting series 2 of Lost a tad before it’s shown over here. watching it on the computer isn’t quite as good as watching it in full screen glory but it’ll do til the summer. i’m up to episode 6 now and am no wiser than i was at the end of series 1. well, i’m a bit wiser, but confusion still lurks.even after reading this splendid theory, i’m not sure what’s going on on the island. but it’s good to watch tho’.

only thing that really gets me is.. what the fidduck are the numbers about?
