How to tell it's going to be a good weekend: get in car after a long day at work and the first song that comes on... Swanky Modes!!! (i luv my iPod)

Here's some random stuff left over from the last few days.
If you're going to have the really stupid vanity plate OVRCLCKD then you could at least get out of the fast lane if you're only going to be doing the speed limit. And yes I think that's moved to the top of the geekiest vanity plates evah list, just edging out the previous leader, NAZGUL.
Over at boing boing, there's a link to an awesome page showing how to make Guinness popsicles. The bandwidth demand has totally killed the photos at this point. But it's still the most awesomely brilliant waste of time I've seen since the guys who were filtering cheap vodka. Put down that science pole, indeed.
Umberto Eco has a new novel out next month. Here (via bookslut) is an interview from the Telegraph. And, yes, I agree with you that the interviewer is an almost complete idiot. But, y'know, it's Umberto Eco so well worth the read.
