BB-Blog is one of the most amusing places on the interweb to go, hang out, perhaps have a drink or two. It's been ages since I went to visit, and there are too many things I want to tell you about over there, so instead I'm just sending you over.

My favorite link (today, anyhow) is the VOCO Clock, voiced by Stephen Fry. The alarm clock wakes you up with a very butlery sounding voice, who says wonderful things like:
I'm sorry to disturb you, Sir, but it appears to be morning. Very inconvenient, I agree. I believe it is the rotation of the Earth that is to blame, Sir.
There are fifty or so messages, so it takes a bit for you to hear any of them twice-- and they're coming out with a Madam clock over the summer, for us ladies who rankle at being referred to as "Sir." (Though you know, personally, I don't a mind a bit.)
