Much better than the turgid Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Far Too Long Title are Iconfactory’s free Indy desktop and icon sets — Raiders, Temple of Doom and Last Crusade. Wish I’d skipped the movie and just downloaded the icons.

What’s in your Ipod at the moment?
A bunch of pretentious indie rock bands.

How’d they get in there?
We squashed them.

ebookers:

I’m a fan of the flight search engine Kayak — it’s slickly designed and seems to find genuinely good deals by searching a bunch of different airlines and a few select online agents. Still, both last summer and this summer, in the end the cheapest deal I could find to fly from the UK to Vancouver was with ebookers.com, which seems to undercut the airlines published fares by a considerable margin. Moreover, it’s well-designed too, especially the final itinerary page and email it sends.

Finding a cheap international flight these days is an exercise in frustration and [im]patience, but score one for ebookers in my books.

This makes me weep inside, but it’s the same technique I use to make Internet Explorer 6 behave with
