The New Adventures of Mr. Stephen Fry

Stephen Fry has a podcast, damn him. I have finally cracked and installed iTunes as a result.

The latest episode: Language. To me, Fry embodies everything both irritating and inspirational about a certain worthy Anglicanism. Old fashioned, a bit stuffy and somehow profoundly reassuring. Fry's latest features news to me regarding the term "willy-nilly", a bit obvious once it is pointed out.

Handy for Stephen Fry: Cobbled together out of vintage Cold War-era Soviet vacuum fluorescent tubes and custom driver circuitry, the Super Electrofluorescent Profanity Machine sits at the juncture of steampunk form and steampunk function (hat tip to Minicapt).
