And we all fall down, there’s not enough hours in a day

Smashing has put together a list of tips on Time Management; I wouldn’t say I was bad at time management, I think in many ways I’m quite good at it, but the part I find difficult is how you manage your time when you just don’t know what’s coming.

I suppose the answer is that if you’re in a situation where you can’t even apply most of these tips then there’s something fundamentally wrong with the system. Or perhaps I just need to get better at Number 10:

Like the mission wasn’t impossible enough already

posted on September 17, 2009

In Mission:Impossible (the first of the Tom Cruise films) the wrist mounted decibel meter he wears whilst being lowered into the ultra-secure chamber beeps to denote the level of noise it’s detecting. It has the coloured bars too but it actually beeps – I couldn’t find a clip of the scene but about 23 seconds into the trailer you can see and hear it beep.

What now?

Why would you create a device designed to measure noise, for the precise purpose of aiding noise minimisation, and then have it beep? It makes you wonder what else the IMF are cooking up.

Fossil Auction

posted on September 14, 2009

Somewhat disappointingly I can’t even afford a Triceratops vertebrae, but if anyone’s feeling generous any of the following will suffice:

lionskull

fossilcat

cavebear

mammoth

I think as expensive fossils go having a fossil pig has got to be a little rubbish, especially when you can buy a Titanothere for half the price which sounds way cooler (even if it’s actually just a big tapir).

Also: what the fuck now? Approaching the length of the contemporary Blue Whale, only with 7″ teeth!?
