Found via kottke.org - Advanced Paper Folding. Amazing stuff. A mathematician pushes the boundaries of origami.

A nice post about using Yahoos new Pipes tool. It looks like the type of thing someone should have come up with many years ago - the ability to customise web content to show you want you want - like a web dashboard (that isn't a crap corporate portal filled with ads). The biggest hassle is all the baggage that comes with a Yahoo account required to experiment with it . . .

Interesting - Five Thoughts on the Nintendo Wii. It really does look like the Wii will be the real winner in the competition for the casual gamer.

Geeky - Order of the Science Scouts of Exemplary Repute and Above Average Physique Science Scout Badges. "I've done science with no concievable practical application" is my favourite but I'm sure many scientists would go for "I'm a scientist who is fundamentally opposed to administrative duties".

Ever since moving to static rendering on my perl based Blosxom site I've had a broken search function (Blosxom search is a perl module that interacts with the Blosxom cgi).

I finally found a nice and easily customisable alternative to 'rolling my own' - Google Co-op. Fill in a simple form, specify what you want to search and then customise the resultant search page by including the source for the form (about 5 lines) into your own page.

I haven't bothered to customise the results - I'm just glad to have a working site search :-)
