Is it just me...

Like the title of this book, although I fear it could be one of those wacky stocking fillers they always bring out at this time of year.

Internet Identity Workshop

I don't know why I find this fuuny

Scotland's murderous heart

Ah, makes you proud.

Wherever I lay my hat....

I'm moving flat. Place I'm in is closing down, so I'm off to see other bits of London. There's a reasonably nice place I saw in Finchley that I'll probably go for. Anyone know what that area is like (I only visited it once)? Is £360 + bills a reasonable rent? They do have wireless broadband...

(Unfortunately, I couldn't find any gratuitous link to throw in here...oh yeah, Age of Empires III demo is out)

Bumper stickers

We don't really have this political bumper sticker culture here.



By the way, did you know that Jews invented the weekend?

Patriotic Posters

Some satirical, Bush-baiting WWII style propaganda posters etc. Weird thing is, I bet right wingers would be happy with some of this stuff at a less ironic level.

Un-Restoration

They're knocking down that burnt out hotel you can see from the East Coast mainline at Dunbar. Hurrah I say, about time too.

The Other Hurricane

Time for one of our regular global warming freak outs...

Inside the new St James Centre bridge this morning.

Techno City or what? (Image taken with my cameraphone and thus a bit ropy I'm afraid).

21st Century Crusaders

The US Military-Industrial Complex gets a little carried away...

Shining

Remixed trailer for an old classic.

Serenity

This looks flipping excellent.

Russian MP3s

Tom tells me that allofmp3.com, a Russian pay-per-download site, is great, safe and dirt cheap. Apparently it's not exactly legal per se, but gets away with it because of Russia's lax copyright laws.


(Tom, is this the one you were talking about?)

Deadly plague hits Warcraft world

Always interesting when things like this happen.

Cost of War

Rolling total of the cost of Iraq. Those are some big numbers.

Literature for the time poor

book a minute

No Direction Home

One for you, I think, Tom: The BBC are showing Martin Scorsese's Dylan documentary on the 26th and 27th of September.

A Slobbering Slugfest

The Hitchens - Galloway debate was apparently not very eloquent, but Radio 4 are broadcasting highlights on Saturday night.

The extinction of UK frogs?

Has anyone been following this story over the last few years? The lethal amphibian funghi has now spread to the UK: http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/sci/tech/4249136.stm
