Oh, now I wholeheartedly disagree with the philosophy that underpins this message, which is that the internet is balanced, controllable, truthful and honest.

I’m going to spend an hour with you, I’m going to do you the courtesy of not forming an opinion of you in advance. If you want me to read your resume before the meeting, send it to me. If you don’t, don’t.

Actually, it looks more like an Egyptian mummy to me.

Bacon in 1951, photographed by Cecil Beaton

Sacred Monster:

Those who knew the artist—some of them his friends—described him variously as “devil,” “whore,” “one of the world’s leading alcoholics,” “bilious ogre,” “sacred monster,” and “a drunken, faded sodomite swaying nocturnally through the lowest dives and gambling dens of Soho.” Bacon was no kinder: He called himself a “grinding machine” and “rotten to the core.” This hasn’t stopped admirers and critics alike from proclaiming him “the greatest painter in the world,” “the best … since Turner.” Never one to spare hyperbole, Robert Hughes wrote, “This painter of buggery, sadism, dread, and death-vomit has emerged as the toughest, the most implacable, lyric artist in late-twentieth-century England, perhaps in all the world.”

I’m so very proud to know this man, Emmanuel Brujan, and even luckier that he’s my trainer. Congratulations on your victory, Manny!

CE-Oh no he didn’t? Part LXVII: Steve Jobs lashes out at Google, calls Adobe ‘lazy’ — Engadget

I’m actually on-board with this one. The most time by far that my machine spends with a spinning beachball is while Adobe Flash tries to do something. Most of the time it will eventually do it, but occasionally it will crash or worse still take out the whole browser with it.

I for one welcome Flash’s impending demise. As @cageyjames put it:

“I personally consider the lack of flash on the iPhone a feature. Doesn’t bother me flash ads don’t load on websites one bit.”

As for the Google comments (remember, this is all allegedly true, which these days means probably), bring on the competition. It can only make our experience better.

Aw. Isn’t he cute.

It never hurts to throw a bit of Nathan Barley into the mix.

Ladies and gentlemen: The Rise of the Idiots

If you have a chance to see Charlie Brooker’s brilliant “Screenwipe” shows [youtube, torrents], take it.

I had no idea he co-wrote Nathan Barley with Chris Morris.

As a presenter, this is a hilarious view of what we try and do, or not do (and it’s oh-so-true).
