My new favourite thing of the day! Can’t go wrong with Lego plus Olympics anyway but these are really well done!

Scratch | Project | running for life
This is what my super 7 year programmer daughter made today. I am mostly reduced to the “Can you find the music of God Save The Queen?” support role. For the rest of it I just point her in the right direction as to how to get things to work how she wants. The controls are a bit quirky (she couldn’t figure out jumping so you have to switch from right arrow to space bar to get past the hurdles) – the ideas are all hers. I love the medal ceremony with 4th place crying in the corner.

Love this, even though my initial attempts to find cycling routes on Google maps are a bit haphazard. The map shows the Transpennine trail highlighted in bright green but the cycling directions loop you through all kinds of local roads rather than along the trail!

Great formula type recipe. I made some with almonds and dried apricots and they are great!

These would either be very good or very bad. I can’t quite decide. I’m sure the addition of Marmite would help though.

This is a fabulous idea for a quilt, it’s based on the Tokyo subway map.

Great chart showing the words people of different ages & sexes use to describe themselves on last.fm. The “about me” on my last.fm profile is blank…
I officially have no clue what any of the teenagers are talking about. No surprise really.
More details (and indeed more charts) on the last.fm blog.

BBC News – Tech Know: BBC Micros used in retro programming class
“Unforgiving interface”?! Acorn DFS. That’s the disk file system version, cassette tape was unforgiving!
I love the clip from Micro Live – I remember the show all too well, I’d love the BBC put more of it up on iPlayer.

The Most Fun a Grocery Store Ever Had: Super Mario Soda Display
Fabulous. Twenty years ago I was stacking boxes of cakes on pallets for Mr Kipling. Different size boxes had different layouts to be followed to best utilise the pallet space. Everybody else stacked the boxes up layer by layer, but my pallets usually resembled mountain ranges until I dropped the last few boxes into place. The manager who came round every hour to record how many boxes had been packed gave up trying to count my pallets herself after a while.
