I wish to acquire this for to listen to on the electrical ipod. I must remember to download it when I get home. For free and everything.
- PayPal Here
Paypal have launched a competitor to Square. Neither are available in the UK, so I don't care that much, but they're an indicator of the future, and it's good to see competition in this space. Although frankly, I think you'd have to be mad to try and run a serious business with Paypal, given their oft-demonstrated willingness to simply seize their users assets for spurious reasons like "we thought you were making too much money".
- Rob Reid: The $8 billion iPod | Video on TED.com
It's not going to come as a galloping shock to anyone here to discover that the numbers quoted by the pro-copyright-enforcement lobby in terms of lost revenue and jobs are total crap, btu this TED talk makes it clear just how much total bullshit they are. And is funny. Go watch.

- The pernicious influence of immigrants in the UK
If, and only if, you actively hate everything on this list, may you even think about making an anti-immigrant remark. If on the other hand, you have ever thought about doing so, and like even one of these things, even a little, then you must leave the country at once.

- Comic Sans Criminal – There's help available for people like you!
I am going to send this to anyone I catch using Comic Sans inappropriately. Anyone continuing to misuse that sodding font after reading this is actively evil, and should probably be removed from the human race for the good of all.

A timewarp all the way back to 1997. It's the spot on music that really sells this one, I think.
- Stages of a Photographer
Well, I've never fallen in the HDR hole – I think it's a cheap effect, a way to get around weaknesses in technique, or a substitute for an actual idea – but on the other hand, I've taken so few photos I like in the last year, it's ridiculous. But that is less about my ability, and more about the fact that I haven't been carrying a camera enough, or taking enough pics. Time to do something about that.
