And Wikipedia has a great article for the Euro 2008 including a participating country map – seems like this is a continental europe affair this year. ;)

You failed to achieve your goal. You only got 53

Waaaa. Meet Boomshine. Actually, I made it to 54 balls. As it seems I am not the only one having problems.

Boomshine is an addictive Flash casual game. Click the screen to start a chain reaction and try to explode as many dots as needed to pass a level. The game contains 12 levels ranging from the easy to the hard (only 3.97% of games pass level 12). Over 3 million games have been played by over 100,000 different players.

The music is very nice as well – I think I will just …

I do have the feeling I am getting to old for this. o2 Music Flash is presenting a free concert at Cebit with the Sugababes – I still remember the Spice Girls. ;)

Until now it is mainly promoted in German, but if I have any Sugababes fans as readers .. here you go. ;) You will probably not be able to attend, but the concert is also streamed on the net from 7pm middle European time (= GMT+1).
More information can be found here.

The wife said, “You should do it because you get up first, and then we don’t have to wait as long to get our coffee.

The husband said, “You are in charge of cooking around here and you should do it, because that is your job, and I can just wait for my coffee.”

Wife replies, “No, you should do it, and besides, it is in the Bible that the man should do the coffee.”

Husband replies, “I can’t believe that, show me.”

So she fetched the Bible, …

The Independent:
To google or not to google? It’s a legal question

Search engine giant Google, known for its mantra “don’t be evil”, has fired off a series of legal letters to media organisations, warning them against using its name as a verb.
