little bits of everything

Star Wars, Hitchikers and now Dr Who back again. Where's the new SF?

Word of the week: barista . Now if only we had an in-house Starbucks.

Exploring Flickr is like opening a box of jewels and finding that they are actually fake plastic. Nonetheless they are very pretty and you could spend ages looking at them. That's enough extended analogy for today.

I heard a Beatle's track for the first time the other day. I can't remember what it was called. Strange feeling so long after they were around.

Kathy Oh yes, so true, I agree, right on, etc. but... when my email program is crawling, and taking 30 seconds to open a document I'll switch my gaze to my second monitor where my favourite blogs are displayed, like this one. Is that so bad? Is there something better I could do in those 30 seconds?

A joke from The Culture Show : Comic Sans goes into a bar. The barman says, "We don't serve your type around here". They asked people for their favourite fonts. Someone, whose name escapes me, said they didn't like Comic Sans. I do, I must be a pleb then.

Cooooooooooooooooooooooool. Sorry, about that. Not very British. A bit overblown. Jokes don't tend to make it into trailers, apart from the visual ones, so I'll just have to go and see it to save you the bother. Now to find the UK release date... simultaneous with the US. That's what I like. Can't wait.
