Watch Alex Clare’s music video for “Too Close” – the song featured in the Internet Explorer (the browser you loved to hate) TV commercial.
It is pretty damn cool.

‘Hellblazer’ wraps its run, Constantine continues
The infernal fire that has blazed beneath cynical detective John Constantine for years is being extinguished.
But not for long.
The chain-smoking British occult detective, long a staple of Vertigo’s “Hellblazer,” is getting what promises to be a duly deserved send-off as the title ends at No. 300 in February.
But Constantine, a somewhat sorcerer more at home fighting demons than socializing with people, won’t be fading away with the title’s end that is being written by longtime writer Peter Milligan and illustrated by artists Giuseppe Camuncoli and Stefano Landini. Instead, the ending is a beginning of sorts for the character.
That’s because writer Robert Venditti, a best-selling author whose works include “The Homeland Directive,” will launch “Constantine” with artist Renato Guedes, a new series from DC Comics focusing on the detective’s adventures in the relaunched DC universe.
Somewhat sad news as I’ve been reading Hellblazer for pretty much 18 years since my friend Tim introduced me to the comics whilst we were at university together. A DC comics version will be PG-13 and just not the same, that’s not to say that it will be bad but it will be the end of an era.

David Lo Pan Style
The best Gangnam Style parody yet is this Big Trouble in Little China one featuring a cameo by James Hong the original Lo Pan.
Having joined the Windows Server 2012 Early Experts study group I felt that I needed some real hands on experience with the new operating system. Having neither the time nor the spare resources at work to set up a new server I followed Keith Mayer’s advice to leverage the three month free trial for Windows Azure to build a Windows Server 2012 VM. Download Keith’s guide here.
Not only do I now get a chance to test the new features of Server 2012 but also gain an understanding of the Windows Azure platform and how it might be utilised to create a hybrid cloud infrastructure.

Fascinating episode of Horizon. Breaking electrons down into quasiparticles. The creation of micro-black holes. Using the entire universe as a lens to look down into the realm of the Planck length.
