Pleasing Government Commerce

I heard about this on the radio, and thought it was pretty funny. Apparently the Office of Government Commerce in England ordered the new logo to:


...signify a bold commitment to the body’s aim of improving value for money by driving up standards and capability in procurement.


For £14,000, here's what they got:



... but if you turn it sideways ...



... you get a whole 'nother meaning! I doubt they'll be erecting any signs with the new logo anytime soon. ;-)

Silverlight Einsteinchen


You'll have to install Microsoft's "Silverlight" to see it, but that only takes a second. This website (click the title above) has a bunch of little videos starring a very strange looking character. Einsteinchen demonstrates the theory of relativity in a way that most people can understand. There are 12 videos in all, and they are quite enjoyable.

Now that I've watched them all, I think I'm ready to build my own time machine!
