I had one of these the first time around!

You don't to wear that Monaco or Perpetual on a daily basis and that Nooka just screams too try hard (although I like it) So when you are looking for a watch for every day, you need to choose one that is simple and stylish but doesn't shout too loud.



The Timex Rose Royce watch gives us that 1980s simple digital clock interface, stopwatch to 1/100th of a second, is slim enough to fit under your shirt cuff and doesn't follow that flourescent fad that every boyband member is sporting these days

Harry Nesbitt

With all this talk of digital, tweeting, convergence in all blogs these days its great to get some perspective. Maybe its how I am feeling these days but this really hit home

I love what Harry is doing here, he seems to create a real sense of empathy with a simple one minute video...beautiful stuff

N 45.45955 W 101.91356 - where would you want to be?

Thanks to B in Denver for this - Brilliant!

There are over 13,000 McDonald’s restaurants in the US, or about 1 for every 23,000 Americans. But even market penetration this advanced doesn’t mean that McDonald’s is everywhere. Somewhere in South Dakota is the McFarthest Spot, the place in the US geographically most removed from the nearest McD’s. If you started out from this location, a few miles north of State Highway 20 (which runs latitudinally between Highways 73 in the west and 65 in the east), you’d have to drive 145 miles to get your Big Mac...what's going on Ronald?



This map is the brainchild of Stephen Von Worley, apparently McDonald’ses have a notable tendency to occur on highways and, specifically, to cluster at crossroads!

I'll resist the urge to say 'I'm Lovin' it' at this point!
