Say what you see - but this one's not for Roy Walker or Mr Chips
So obvious you kick yourself for not inventing it.

Serious Name Irony
Look at the article and then the name of the journalist - can't make shit like this up.

This homage to Bob Dylan about the Daily Mail made me chuckle - stumbled upon it on Feeding the puppy - http://www.feedingthepuppy.com/
It reminded me of a creative director I once worked with who told everyone he religiously read the Daily Mail - clearly this caused quite an uproar as he was meant to be a Guardian reading media whore. His explanation though was simple - Know Thine Enemy. Always stuck with me.

Couple of interesting ones from the BBC
You have to love a good old animated timeline they have been around and employed in many ways on the internet so its a little ironic that one here shows the spread of the internet. http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/technology/8552410.stm Also if you ever have to explain how a website display its content on a person's computer you could do a lot worse that this animated guide - http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/technology/8552415.stm Finally what looks to be a relatively interesting study/program about the internet on Radio 4 and Online called Super Power http://www.bbc.co.uk/worldservice/specialreports/superpower.shtml
