Die mauer ist nicht so motorradfreundlich
Which, as far as my crude appreciation of the language of Siegfried goes, translates to the wall isn’t so motorcycle-friendly (he’s commenting on an orange crash barrier he avoids at a corner’s apex).
Kiss Kiss Bang Bang
Just back from seeing Kiss kiss bang bang at the London Film festival (thanks Billy) and tomorrow Billy has scored some tickets to hear the director talk.
Cool JS slider
Been meaning to have a play with this javascript slider. Oh, and the individual templates are broken while I try and fix comments…
Google v. The Lecture List
The Lecture List is a non-profit site that aims to promote public speaking across the UK. The site was launched with a generous grant from NESTA but for the last two years has been entirely supported by the time a...
Toddlers at work
This piece over at Digital Dad™ made me chuckle. CU-1 isn’t a toddler anymore (she’s three) but she’s been obsessed with computers, stereo, iPods and telephones almost since day one.
Family,
Eating scorpions
So Nicki, at long last, has started to blog about her experiences with food. She’s a professional food writer so was apprehensive at first, but it looks like she’s settling in nicely:-)

Copyright
Just read a post on the Google Print copyright debacle which reminded me I got a bit tipsy last night and had a vigourous and interesting converstation with a barrister who specialises in intellectual property. We...
Google AdSense Account Disabled (2)
So yup, I’ve started digging around and we may have something here (thanks wAntAn productions: Google AdSense Account Disabled)
The bigger picture
So I bought Nicki a Sony Ericsson K750i as she’s starting to write about food again and she needed a decent camera to upload to Flickr with. I just can’t get over the image quality on the thing. I pumps out 1600×1...
Techno-bollocks,
Pigs, burdock and Broadway
So exactly how often these days can you see a chap roasting an entire pig on a spit and what’s a burdock root anyway? Broadway market is looking pretty darn amazing right now. These guys come back every saturday–t...
Things I learned by watching TV
Well, until about five minutes ago, I had absolutely no idea that Levon Helm and Robbie Roberston played with Bob Dylan.
Lick my ass
It’s funny, I’ve been tidying up my iTunes library and tracking down some of the more obscure cover art. On a couple of occasions, I’ve come across reviews of Miss Kittin albums and amusingly, even the more metrop...
Whipsnade face painting
Just love this picture. Not sure why exactly, but it’s something to do with the freshness of the whole thing.
Family,
Going to the mattresses
Spent the whole day at IKEA (both Wembley and Edmonton) not buying a mattress.
Family,
Swimming
Note for Falby family: CU-1’s swimming pics are now in a flickr set so you can view them as a slideshow.
Family,
Now that’s what I call community policing
Apoa and Kiloh bond with the rozzers at this year’s Notting Hill Carnival :-)
Family,
The George W. Bush Emergency Preparedness Award
Well, I feel a whole lot better now that the White House website is covered with pictures of the sensitive couple hugging refugees…
Subject -- Vacation is Over…an open letter from Michael Moore to George W. Bush
Jed just sent me this. As ever, MM says it best… Friday, September 2nd, 2005
Pissed-off reader
Received the following from a reader called Andrew MacLaren a few days ago. He does make some good points so I’ll see what I can do:-)
Blubbertastic
Sitting here chopping some complex css and Eminem’s Mockingbird comes on and I start blubbering like a baby. This happens every time I hear the song (i.e. it’s nothing to do with css…) I wonder what’s making me so...
Family,
Citizen’s media
I think by luck I posted some of the first pictures of Warren Street tube to Flickr. I was getting my hair cut on Googe street when I heard the news on the radio.
