I am the ghost of groovymother.com. Woooooo!
This is an old page from Rod Begbie's blog.
It only exists in an attempt to prevent linkrot. No new content will be added to this site, and links and images are liable to be broken. Check out begbie.com to find where I'm posting stuff these days.

PyMusique: A first look at the code
Excellent summary by Dan of what’s under PyMusique’s (metaphorical) hood.
WSJ.com - Rock's Oldest Joke: Yelling 'Freebird!' In a Crowded Theater

'The Office' remake set to debut online
news.com(.com) links to little old me. Not quite as exciting as appearing in NTK last week, but it makes me happy none t’less.

Google create a center (with RSS feeds) for open-source code they’ve developed, and tools using their APIs. Cool.

Ambient Executive Dashboard
Ridiculously-expensive, but cool little at-a-glance indicator for your (physical) desktop.
BoingBoing Butler
Get rid of the porn ads and assorted other whoring on BoingBoing. If it could block Xeni too, then it’d be perfect.
The Next Big Thing in Online Type
MS launching new “Corefonts” in 2006 to replace Verdana, Tahoma, etc.
Game Gardens
The Puzzle Pirates folks open up their infrastructure and toolkit to allow anyone to create multi-player games. Awesome.
