  1. RT Philip Pullman stand against surveillance culture, 'insulting' child safety check http://tinyurl.com/nqpscn @spikedonline @Nico_Macdonald
  2. Knackered after TDi: ten very motivated people for five very full, non-stop days with Gerard, Fiona, and myself. An annual thing, I think.
  3. Buddha himself would be a shivering pile of frayed nerves after this marathon "no I won't" session. What when he grows up? (son, not Buddha)
  4. Doctors want to offer prayers to patients. http://tr.im/qdoK Can we offer them injunctions to STFU and stick to flesh and blood?
  5. Erik Truffaz, Talvin Singh, and Murcof's 'Mexico' superb tonight Reading. Catch them at Ronnie Scott's tomorrow, London.
  6. @typeoff Enough with the idolization! The music was uninteresting the first time round; only the "pop-as-spectacle" is worth talking about.
  7. @brew the gauntlet is off...
  8. That's ok then. He'll grow up to be a professor.
  9. In a 1961 Greek schoolbook I just got: "The Bad Boy does not go to Sunday School, but stays home, reads the newspaper and all the comics"
  10. No sillier insult to the history of revolution than the appropriation of "libre" for free software. Who comes up with that shit?
  11. If in doubt that the SBC is as good as the rest of London together: the Bad Plus (incl. a superb take of Giant), then the Get The Blessing
  12. @typeoff now you know why a full year is just the beginning.
  13. Fatima Spar set the weekend off on the right note!
  14. Why is ground transportation information on US airport sites so reliably crap? No concern for users of services, only providers.
  15. @brew Reminded me of Nick Shinn selling autographed Scotch Modern specimens on stage after his St Petersburg talk (was free at TypeCon...)
  16. @brew Dumbfounded at the hubris of comparing scrapbook / diary rant material to Toni Morrison or Harper Lee.
  17. When a book review is more important than the book: Tom Phinney on Goodbye Gutenberg http://tr.im/oTTd
  18. PJ has a go at BBC puff-piece on the Creation Museum (a.k.a. "you couldn't have made this up -- WTF, you did!") http://tr.im/oAXc
  19. catch up with http://tr.im/ovS7 , add your name: FB http://tr.im/ovSi & LinkedIn http://tr.im/ovSj (nod to @mark_barratt @AlisonWiddup)
  20. @typegirl You are sooo wrong. UK plugs are the only ones worth using. All other come from the Ministry of Crap Design.
