- Smart Toys and the Endangered Solitude of Childhood by Alana Massey | Model View Culture
I don't know whether I agree with this or not, but I think it's an interesting piece that provides food for thought.

- Suwappu: Toys in media – Blog – BERG
Yes, them again. Just go watch the video, and think about the sort of toys your kids will be playing with. And then think about the sorts of toys *you* will be playing with.

- Welcome to The Shady Old Lady's Guide to London
Ugly as fuck, but this might be a useful site for reference/pocking around odd bits of Londonalia.
- MultiTouch – Modular MultiTouch LCD
Why yes, I do want this quite badly. Even just to use as a monitor/interface – I've gotten so used to slinging windows between virtual desktops that I would absolutely love to be able to do it by hand.
- Pulse Laser: OFF=ON, or, Whatever happened to Availabot?
This is one of those products that I simultaneously thing is quite a cool little representative thing, a genuinely nice idea in human computer interaction, and yet, I cannot see a practical use for. I either have multiple chat windows open, or I'm not using IM. And I just don't see how it'd work for multiple chat windows…
- List of London Gang names
OK, just two links on the subject, then.
- Category:Gangs in London – Wikipedia
Probably a few of these today

- 100 Essential Jazz Albums
I own a dozen or so of them, and if I can get them of emusic, I might start working my way through some of the others – I tend to listen to jazz in the summer, and this might be a fun way to find some new stuff.
- Zoundz
I appear to have been mugged by a musical toy. Still, this ought to be fun.
ECTS
So, I’ve been doing the ECTS thing, along with anyone else who could blag a ticket in. Fascinating and frightening at the same time. Lots of lights, bells and whistles, all very pretty. Also, spineless, gutless and filled with disgusting freaks.
Also reading books by Christopher Brookmyre, who I wholeheartedly recommend. And now I must go and work.
