How fantastic of the Guardian Unlimited news blog to point us in the direction of a new site called Conservapedia. It really is like April 1st has come a month early. Conservapedia says that it exists because Wikipedia is “biased” and “anti-Christian and anti-American”. On the main page it says: You will much prefer using […]

Mika
February 11th, 2007 · 1 Comment · Music
The other week I was listening to Radio One's Live Lounge during my couple of bonus days at home between jobs. The guest that day was someone called Mika, who I had never heard of but who seemed to be generating a lot of hysteria from listeners. It turns out that my having never heard […]
Self-portrait with laptop
February 11th, 2007 · 1 Comment · Life
Well that is what I thought it looked like anyway… There is a painting at the Rijksmuseum called Self Portrait with Landscape by Hendrikus van de Sande Bakhuyzen. When it popped up on my screen in the brilliant Rijkswidget it really did look like a nineteenth-century laptop!
Lancaster UAF
February 6th, 2007 · 5 Comments · Politics
The Lancaster UAF blog has moved onto a Blogspot server. It can now be found at http://lancasteruaf.blogspot.com/ and is always worth a read. One recent post on there is about Andrew Spence joining the BNP, a story which amused me when I saw it in the papers. It amused me because in the comments on […]
Parking
January 18th, 2007 · 4 Comments · Life
Today I came across this brilliant site. It is a blog about bad/inconsiderate parking in the garage at somebody’s workplace. Some fine examples of appalling parking in an attempt to name & shame. Can we have the same thing for County Mall please? Or any of the car parks in Crawley. With particular emphasis on […]

Choice of links
December 21st, 2006 · 2 Comments · Life
There is a chap in Surrey who has written a children’s book and published it himself. He has decided that it will only be available from independent booksellers and not from chains like WH Smith or Waterstones, not from volume-discounting Internet operations like Amazon. The BBC have covered this in the Southern counties part of […]
Light reading for Gordon
December 18th, 2006 · 5 Comments · Politics
If Gordon Brown is hunting around for some big ideas to make an impact in his first 100 days, he should go and have a look at Parburypolitica. I have a few big ideas myself. Probably impractical, but ideal for one of those 'blue-sky' sessions where you think the unthinkable to try and stimulate new […]

Just a bit of fun
December 18th, 2006 · 4 Comments · Technology
Have you ever fancied having a go at the old circus knife-throwing? No. Neither had I, but having had a go at this game from Mousebreaker it is now a lot more tempting. Not only can you choose whether to be a male or female knife-thrower, but you can choose which one of 21 celebrities […]
Bad server

I love the announcement at the Joggle site: The server was down this week because it was infected with bad software and had to be punished.
