Prettyloaded →
Bigspaceship just launched Prettyloaded:
“Once upon a time, in a land of sputtering dial-up connections, websites took ages to load. Folks yearned for the 100% mark. But as soon as that figure arrived, the beloved (or bemoaned) preloader disappeared, never to be seen or heard from again. Until now.

Friday Live from the Sofa: Update on the New Dehli...
Here’s some info on the Monkeyman that haunted New Dehli a couple of years ago. Apparantely he (she?) went to Russia, and hasn’t been spotted since.
