Trying something new on the blog – a roundup of some of the funky stuff I’ve found during the week, either mooching about online or via Twitter/Facebook.

So, onto the wonderful things.
First up, Amazon are getting keen with season 8 of Doctor Who up for pre-order. The early reviews are worth a look. Well played, amazon reviewers!

And finally a timelapse video of a cruise ship being cut in half and extended. (via fstoppers.com
