Google China Celebrates Confucius Birthday

Today's Google China homepage celebrates Confucius birthday. BTW: The China page has animation on it - those little blobs below the search box. Which, compared to the US version, is quite racy.

Chocolate Hobnobs Spotted In Shanghai

A few tubes of Chocolate Hobnobs have been spotted sitting forlornly on the shelves of City Shop Shanghai. These are the lucky few that made it through the early warning Hobnob detector at the border. We can only wonder at how many were lost. Let us praise these brave biscuits with a cup of tea and a nice sit down.

Generation A

Douglas Coupland (my favourite author) has a new novel out called Generation A. There's a whole load of multi-media to go with the launch including a site that let you create a custom version of the book and videos produced by Crush on Coupland's YouTube Channel.

Computer Chronicles
More computer TV from the 80s! The US programme Computer Chronicles started in 1981 and ran until 2002. Some of the early episode are now available for online viewing. It's fascinating viewing. Take this operating system episode from 1984 for example. CP/M, DOS, Unix and Xenix all discussed.
