My new blog is here

Dave points to this comment. My response? I'm thinking about offering an OPML hosting service sometime in the future. Permanent link to this item in the archive.

Dvorak is pointing to that ridiculous story about Lakehead University and wifi. This principal guy sounds like a dipshit. Permanent link to this item in the archive.

Ben Goldacre has a good post on the BBC drama Judge John Deed and it's anti-scientific tendencies. Why can't the guys in white coats be right once in a while? I actually rather like the show, but hate the fact that it builds on such ridiculous ideas. Also check wongaBlogPermanent link to this item in the archive.

This story is horrible. Prejudiced Catholic judges are an evil that needs to be eliminated. Permanent link to this item in the archive.

If you are in New Hampshire or you're a Free Stater, you might find Joanie's Reading Lists useful. She's got NHVotes.opml and NHCongressHeadlines.opml. She's having trouble with it (see the opml-newbies list), but it's a neat idea. Let freedom and OPML arise! Permanent link to this item in the archive.

The ISPA are whining about the data retention legislation. Rightly, of course. Why don't the ISP's simply ignore the law? It's a shit law, and if European ISPs simply ignore it, and refuse to pay any fines, then there won't be a problem. Permanent link to this item in the archive.

Now they have a beep every few minutes. Damn you - this was supposed to be 'quiet'. Permanent link to this item in the archive.

How can Pope Benedict XVI, the head of an institution which has said for the last two thousand years "Believe in me or you shall burn in a fiery pit of hell", have the gall to preach tolerance and respectPermanent link to this item in the archive.

It's not just me who thinks that Pat Robertson is a slugPermanent link to this item in the archive.

Despite the fact that I use OPML (and, by extension, Frontier) for all my webby needs, if you are using iWeb and you don't have a .Mac account, this tip is for you! Permanent link to this item in the archive.

Wowza! Virgin Trains gets the idea! They have sockets for laptops in standard class. No wifi, but this is a pretty fantastic idea. This way, I'll get to Birmingham with my battery charged up, and I'll get back to London with it charged up. Superb. Big, big plus. Now, if only they could turn the announcements off. I know that I'm going to Birmingham, for crying out loud. I don't need you to tell me that I am. Permanent link to this item in the archive.

Good news. Start the Week, Broadcasting House, Today in Parliament and Front Row are all coming to podcasting. Fantastic. I love Today in Parliament but never listen to it. Permanent link to this item in the archive.

Plastic: "By now the consequences of the government's War on Drugs are clear. Attacking supply and not demand has sparked a vicious and violent underground economy. A sum of $19 billion is spent every year prosecuting this war, the result of which is that the "land of the free" locks up a higher percentage of its population than any other country, a quarter of which are for drug offenses. Perhaps the enduring legacies of this war are the weakened communities and the resultant lack of economic mobility for those caught up in it." Permanent link to this item in the archive.

So, Ken got kicked out for a month yesterday. Then I find this interesting chunk. So, Ken, with one hand, tells us that those who believe in an afterlife shouldn't be able to discuss politics because they've got a vested interest - and, at the same time, play constantly for the Muslim vote. Ken: you're not just a horrible creature, you're a hypocrite. Enjoy your month off... Permanent link to this item in the archive.

Austin Cline is discussing how the Religious Right have a "gay fetish". Sorry, but I am trying to wash the vision of Pat Robertson in leather chaps and chains, whipping Jerry Falwell's ass with a tawse, out of my head. Perhaps Bill Dembski and Behe could be the cowboys from "Brokeback Mountain with Specified Complexity". Permanent link to this item in the archive.

Ten Best Flickr Mashups including Retrievr, Spell with Flickr, Tagnautica, Flappr, Captioner!, Fastr, Colr Pickr, FlickrFling, Flickrball and Flickr SudokuPermanent link to this item in the archive.

And you say, these folks are scientists, right? Madness. Permanent link to this item in the archive.

Superb! Permanent link to this item in the archive.

Plastic are discussing that most important of topics: is Daniel Craig a shitty James Bond? Permanent link to this item in the archive.

Good analogy, though I'd substitute "penny sweets" in place of peas. Because everybody loves penny sweets, especially those sugar-coated cola bottle sweets. Permanent link to this item in the archive.

Come on over, Dave. I've already been showing the OPML Editor to people at geeky get-togethers in London. If you find you need a sofa to sleep on with DSL access, just give me a shout. Permanent link to this item in the archive.
