If your new year’s resolution was to watch more The Colbert Report, then you’re set. It is now being broadcast, ad-free, on ABC weekdays at 7:30pm. And, more importantly, is also on iView.

Awake at Last

I’m not sure I recall what I used to do before Dragon Age: Origins. Hopefully it’ll come to me shortly. Bloody BioWare.

Trek Love

A review will surely appear, but until it does, I feel like somewhere on this site we should add our voices to the choir and mention how awesome Star Trek is. Or, as Hoyts cinema insist on calling it, Star Trek 11 — a name that completely works against the way they’ve been trying to market it. There’s a reason why we didn’t see Batman V or James Bond 22.

The Age on a Page

If anyone uses RSS and likes The Age, then this could be the feed for you. Using Yahoo Pipes, I’ve made a tiny change to the Age’s Top Headlines feed, so that it always links to the “single page” version of the article. Here it is.

WordPress Migration

Incidentally, if anyone’s noticed that all the old articles have gone wacky again — though I can’t see why they would have — it’s because I’ve just switched to WordPress. It’s possible that this has something to do with it. Normal service will gradually be resumed.

Claire Who

Discovered on Good News Week tonight that Claire Hooper knows who Davros is and thus might well be the perfect woman. Also, she apparently has a lump on her neck, and I used to have one of those, so we’ve totally got that in common. It was meant to be. She’s certainly my favourite Australian comedy variety program team captain. Suck it up, Myf.

Randomly Gone

Heh. It’s just possible I forgot to renew the domain registration and atypicalreview.com temporarily disappeared. But if you didn’t notice, then it almost certainly didn’t happen.
