...Gaiman videos.
This one features, among other things, turning 50, having no regrets, his scariest flight (involving Dave McKean and the Black Orchid art), the enthusiasm of Filipino fans, Singapore, the Singaporean snack called 'Stuffed Author', on translating stories across media, the Sandman play, bad adaptations, and the script of Coraline.

...all over, last night. But before the Sachin-is-a-choker crowd get all worked up, just a reminder of how much ahead of the competition he is.
A tabulation of the top 30 all time ODI runs made.
And before anyone asks, the only person in this list with an average higher than Sachin (44.6) is Jacques Kallis (45.1).

...likely to be interested in this video I made at the Neil Gaiman talk yesterday.
Among other things, he talks about why blogging and journalism are different things. He walls the Marvelman question and then does an outstanding Alan Moore impression while explaining why Moore calls him 'Scary Trousers'.
I wish I had a better camera and better camera skills, but that can't be helped now. If anyone wants to help clean up the audio, please leave a comment.

So Neil's signing books right now. The queue was so long that I only took some pics and made a video of the queue and came home to have my lunch. I might go back in a couple of hours to get my copy of Good Omens signed.

...with it's own unique breed of WTFness. Just when you were getting all WTFed by the Japs and Singaporeans.
Here you go, far-out swordplay, if I can call it that.
Of course, it had to be Mithunda, didn't it? Via @skinnylatte. If Mithunda doesn't rock, I don't know who does.
And this is what that word means.

...and 'ol Aadisht is moaning the lack of a Mellu specialist joint in Delhi.
That entire concept struck me as odd, because my understanding of Mellu-dom is summed up in the below image, which I've seen in countless Mellu messes. This pic is whacked from here, but I have no clue who actually made it.

Happy Onam, folks.

...that I've met ever, is far better-looking, more intelligent and better spoken than the Singapore Miss World 2009 Winner.
I'm sorry to say that, but it's a fact. What were the judges thinking? Take a look for yourselves. And then read the comments.
Sorry, Riz.

...has turned into a Japanese bulletin board for, I'm guessing, lonely folks. Initially I tried to delete the spam, but then gave up and decided to turn it into a work of urban digital art.
Here you go, a Japanese love board.
I wish I could do some real art from Spam, like this dude, but I don't have the time, sorry.

...on the WTF list is almost cheating, because the Japanese come up with the craziest stuff. In fact, Japanese TV is probably the all-time WTF video-collection ever.
That said, I think I'm allowed one Japanese link a week. This one comes from the ever-vigilant Daddy-san, who has usually his, um, oculus open for WTFness.
Here you go, the Japanese toilet prank. Madness, really. I have a thing for the toilets in Japan, but in a different way.

...is the name of a band now. Here's a single, Meeting Mr. Miandad.
Heh
