Today I invented a brilliant new thing, called "podcasts"

Was surfing for news of Kid Rock yesterday, as a friend has been working with him and I was wondering if she'd show up in any paparazzi shots of him stumbling out of nightclubs or anything. No joy there, but he was interviewed by the Guardian yesterd...

ASUS EEE big size!

Slashdot has a link to the first full review of the big size ASUS EEE micro laptop. So check it out! Despite the fact they make a pink one, I'm less convinced than I was before that this is the right laptop for (say) someone's mother. It might still ...

The Jackdaw

Very disappointing-made a special trip from Folkestone for sunday lunch to find expensive menu and food when it arrived was mediocre quality for the price. Vegetable where overcooked and dry. Would not be returning or recommending it.

I think it's not cheap

Squirrel stamped to death and set on fire

"track adhesion problems" ?

That's not the camera phone pictures though

That's regular paparazzi topless holiday shots of Charlotte Church... I'm saying the story about her mobile phone pictures being stolen isn't true.The Register thinks it is though, so maybe I'm wrong. Why have these topless shots (not those topless s...

Doh!

We just wasted ten of your earth pounds for a set of PC speakers so we can listen to the IPOD in the new flat, when for only $200 I could have got one of these... It looks ace, and the sound quality must be better, and I think I need it, but at a ten...
