Computers are fun

If you use those nasty headphones which come with an MP3 player, you will know how easily they get tangled up. Here is a very creative way to get them untangled. Some people really do have weird minds and way too much time on their hands but, hey, its funny! http://tinyurl.com/2pdfnw Eddie Subscribe to Computers are fun by Email

This is the classic Ali G interview with Posh Spice and David Beckham on Comic Relief. Please do not watch if you are easily offended! You have been warned. http://tinyurl.com/3d3dm8 Eddie Subscribe to Computers are fun by Email

One of the best collections of viral videos comes with the on-line version of The Guardian newspaper. Scroll down the page to get to the list. You will see why "It is dangerous to be a student asking questions" and "How to get your wife back" (amongst other things). I should warn you that there are quite a number of videos and you can become "hooked". So perhaps better leave this to a time when you are not too busy:) http://tinyurl.com/2qqhh6 Enjoy Eddie PS I think my favourite is the Wilkinson Sword Advert Subscribe to Computers are fun by Email

It is raining, so you want to watch TV but there is nothing interesting to watch. Why not turn to your computer? There are so many videos from all over the world which might interest you, how on earth do you find something you would like? One site which helps to solve this problem is "We Show". You can watch a comedy channel or reality TV, Sport or "do it yourself" - pretty much anything you like. The videos are sorted and rated and there are daily roundups which point you in the direction of new and interesting content.

Video on the web has been a big success. But with all the videos which are appearing on sites like YouTube or MetaCafe, how do you sort the good from the bad? One answer is to use a video aggregating site which scours other sites and gets real people (like you and me) to vote for the ones we like. More votes mean that the video stays on the site and less votes mean that it eventually disappears. One such site is Videosift. You can choose the type of content which interests you - say humour or politics (very often these are the same!); then get a ranked list of popular videos which you can watch directly on the site. One warning - if you are not careful this will take over your entire weekend and possibly the rest of your life:) www.videosift.com Enjoy your weekend - Eddie Subscribe to Computers are fun by Email
