Let's see the Kindle do this. Kids are going to love reading this….

I would love to see a similar poll conducted over here, because I bet it would get similar results. No one I know is in favour of cutting funding to the NHS, Education, Social Services, Pensions, infrastructure, or really, anything. And yet, we look like we're going to elect people who are going to do that.

I try and be tolerant about people who fall in different places on the political spectrum to me, I really do. But as this article makes clear, David Cameron is poised to declare economic war on me, my friends, and those less well off than us.

This should be stuck to the monitor of every internet connected computer in the world.

Reasonable community model for an idea I've had.

I'm not entirely sure who this Michael Buble character is – I think he's some kind of pop star of the sort I probably won't enjoy very much – but he has sailed so completely under my radar that I suspect I am even more out of touch then previously thought. However, here he is being staked a velociraptor. Velociraptors make everything better.

Met one of the founders of this outfit at the weekend. Potentially very interesting stuff in here. One to play with later.

Jesus shitcocking Christ! If this is in the next release, then we're about 2 generations of photoshop away from a single "just sort this image out, would you" button, and then professional photographers and stock photo libraries are going to be obsolete. And as one commenter points out, this bit of technology is going to effectively make watermarking images impossible – it'll be trivial to heal the watermark off the pic.

In brief: the geographic long tail. 15% of most peoples time is spent in places that they are in less than 1% of their time. People sometimes ask me why I want to start logging my GPS data, even if only privately – it's for this sort of stuff – to work out whether or not I can better optimise my personal possibility jelly. (And if I lost you there, then I suggest you google the term.) I'd like to better track what I'm doing with this 15%, and see if I can't grab some hours back.

You know how over the last ten years, I've occasionally mentioned home-made machinima in a "one day, you'll all want to watch this" kind of way, and most've you have looked at me funny? Yeah. That.

I know it's not funny. I know it will have been horrible for the person this happened to. But how can you not laugh at a litany of damages that reads "they [… ]invaded her home […] stopped utility services, cut water pipes and electrical wiring, damaged flooring and finishings, poured antifreeze into sinks and toilets and [stole] her parrot"?

Bill Drummond on Belfast. Available on iPlayer for the next 7 days, well worth a listen.

Am going to try and get a ticket for this, and if I do, I guess I should sit and throw some notes together based on some LARP related stuff I've been thinking about/testing out, just to run it by some fresh minds…

Really bloody good post. Of course everyone knows that the media is perpetrating a set of damaging stereotypes, yet we don't *do* anything about it.
