I know this has been around for a few weeks, but it is brilliant - a live feed of photos uploaded to Flickr.

Compulsive viewing!

Pirate DVDs of Spider-Man 3 in the UK

This weekend I saw a huge number of people selling pirated DVDs of Spider-Man 3. There must have been about 10 different sellers around Brick Lane, in very prominent positions, and I've heard reports of other sellers wandering the streets in the West End. Where were the police? (Edit - the police have apparently raided and seized premises elsewhere in the UK, so presumably were more interested in following the sellers back to the factory than picking them up)

On a slight aside, I couldn't see any copies of Grindhouse, the new Tarantino/Rodriguez double bill that was released in the US about a month ago, and has been delayed for international release. Is it not even popular enough to interest the Pirates, or has it not been pirated yet because all the prints are still in the US?

The Volvo Hunt is on again!

The global competition kicks off again on the 4th May, to coincide with the new Dsney movie Pirates of the Caribbean - At World's End.

However this time the treasure is hidden beneath the sea, in a chest containing the key to a new Volvo XC90, and $50,000 in gold doubloons.

Google Personalised Homepage - Themes Added

This might be why I had trouble with my personalised homepage last week; they've just introduced cusomisable themes.

They look very good. I've picked the cityscape, and set it for London, UK. Supposedly it will update to reflect the lighting up time and things like that, so it should get dark in about ten hours or so. Woo!

Update - ok, it seems that this has been around for a while, and I'm slow to notice it. When will they start to sell sponsored themes?
