YouTube have just banned videos over 10 minutes. That's such a dumb idea. All the videos that I actually find interesting or useful on YouTube have been over 10 minutes, including Ken Miller's talk. All the sub-10-minutes stuff is pointless, amusing shit. That's fine, but it's the long stuff that's useful. 

Little Atoms looks like a good show. 

Techdirt has a great article on .xxx. It's such a pointless idea. 

Jeff Jarvis on bullshit. Read this now! 

The Tories sold us out. 

MediaWatchWatch is reporting that Stephen Green is throwing a big old wobbly one over "disgusting and immoral pictures". No, not the Motoons. Two lesbians. 

Andy has a good roundup of the Technology 2.0 event. 

Paul Camp has some funny, sceptical reasons why not to pick your ears or use those damn Hopi ear candles. They're bullshit. If you've got a cerumen buildup, consult your doctor. He'll check your ears to see whether it's infectious or not. That takes about five minutes. If it's just an ordinary bildup, you can simply use some oil to break down the cerumen, then go back and a nurse will pump it out. Total time at the doctors is about ten minutes. When you come out, it feels great, and you have to turn everything down. 

Good thing I'm using OS X, Linux, Windows XP, PS2, PSOne and Dreamcast. All these platform 'eadaches seem less important. 

Life at the Pensacola Christian College: "these kids are going off to this school that is run like a concentration camp, suffering for four years, and then 'graduating' with a degree that is almost completely worthless, and with credits that won't transfer to any other university". Damn right, PZ. 

Another good reason for telecommuting. 

Mike Arrington has a post on the different web-based feed readers. 

I phoned in to Free Talk Live last night. Grab the MP3. I'm bemoaning the ID card bill. 

Someone found my site by searching for "Ramtha sex". That's a scary thought.
