Obscure google tricks. It parses numerical expressions.
Search for 2+2 or 1009*21 and it invokes google calculator. Plus enter : "the answer to life, the universe and everything", and the first result it returns is 42! Google in full geek mode
I like the way the walls go out. Gives you an open feeling. Firefly is a good design. People don't appreciate the substance of things. Objects in space. People miss out on what's solid.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I like that. Bizarrely, I really like that.
While we're talking Googlegeek, have you seen Google labs? Some of the stuff there, especially Google sets is fun. Try entering three words that are as unconnected as possible and pressing the "large set" button. Sometimes it's dull; sometimes it's very, very silly.

Right ita - I accidentally posted here instead of natter. Will edit reference out.

For a second, Gar, I thought there were two Wil discussions, and I'd missed one. Having been all up in the Natter one, that would have disappointed me.

Lurching from one disaster to the next.
UKers ... what's the story with Strange? The last issue of Dreamwatch that I got, has a big article about it and they ask; "UK Buffy?" Has the first season been shown and is it worth watching out for, or not?
Emlah ... what night was Miracles being screened? It's not being shown in Adelaide at all :(

To every idea a shelf...
In Sydney it's showing on Mondays at 10:30pm, which is the old Buffy timeslot. I still haven't watched the ep I taped the other week, but I watched bits of the episode that screened this week. It looks kinda interesting, but not particularly special.
When you guys said 'Don't get too attached because it didn't last very long', I didn't realise there were only six episodes. Wow.

Ficht nicht mit Der Raketemensch!
UK Buffy? No. I loved Strange , but I'd describe it more as the X-Files made by Hammer Films. There is a theory that it's what started as Ripper , which is plausible, but unlikely. It's definitely worth seeing, if only because Richard Coyle, as the defrocked priest turned Mulder figure, is unrecognisable from Coupling . If you read comics, it's quite John Constantine.

So it's as good as it looked to be?
I'm hoping it comes to BBC America, drat it.

I know Fay is in Cairo, and did not know when and if she'd have net access again. But does anyone have news?
