Very much in line with what I said about America's innovation being destroyed by big business and bad patents: no more live CDs for you, bucko!

Is there a growing rift between the US and the UK over Iraq? Apparently not.

Zarro Boogs found.

Go me!

it's The Streets, innit

Check out this excellent interview with Mike Skinner, aka The Streets.

"You know, a lot of journalists are quite posh. What are the big papers called? Y'know, the ones that are physically big?" Broadsheets. "Yeah. Those journalists are a bit posh."

bike run

Scooted over the same 10k route. The GPS toy ran out of power about 1.5k in so I don't have a complete track, but that doesn't matter because (a) it's the same route I did last time and (b) I've not done anything with the other tracks other than hack at GPS::Garmin until it stops whining and breaking. Go me!
