BBC Backstage
May12Backstage access to BBC news etc... for developers, to make something funky out of BBC content. What should I do? Oh, not actually a lot there from the beeb yet except links to all their RSS feeds, and some user contributed ideas for BBC Hacks. Some actualy projects from third parties are there too, just proxies that replace BBC content with links etc though...
Hmm, played precisely NO games of pool yesterday, had to go to the snooker club to get a refund on the Jimmy White tickets. The posters up now say that Jimmy recommended his friend the new BBC commentator Ken Doherty as his replacement, and that Ken does comedy along with his snooker... he's the new John Virgo! I would be half tempted to go still, but it's not up to me, I won't be there as I am off at the rugby. Anyway got back from there and then there was too much good TV on, we will have to rearrange the flat so we can play pool and watch TV at the same time.

Michael C Hall returns as the serial killer who's on the side of the angels for a second series of you-can't-say-that humour, stylish photography and deftly twisted morals.
The boys argue that you can't call yourself a car fanatic unless you've owned an Alfa Romeo at some point. So they buy themselves three, each for under £1,000.
Comprehensive debunking of one of the more absurd 9/11 conspiracies - the one centred on the "mysterious" World Trade Center 7 building.
Surely the pinnacle of Steve Martin's career: this is romantic comedy as it used to be, as it should be. Nimbly adapted by Martin himself, this is Cyrano de Bergerac cleverly transplanted to present-day America.
