Now this is a graduation talk
What advice to give to a bunch of graduating wannabes! Fantastic. I wonder whether it put many of the parents to shame over their 20 years of advice-giving. I wish I’d had something like this rather than a doddering fool expiring in Latin in the midday sun. Lindsay, if your graduation talk on Saturday is half as good as this, I’ll buy you a beer. lindsaycampbell: The following is...
Quick Review: Buddakan
Oh boy, this is why I stay at home these days. You can deconstruct the thought processes that went into making this place, and you can deconstruct the impulses that drive the clientele to visit and consider it pleasant, but it takes even less effort to deconstruct the shallow facade cast over the whole place and veneered over their food, and to reduce Buddakan to a large noisy hole full of people...

Click through. CLICK THROUGH! Don’t pass this by. Good morning, Saturday.
Widower loses fight to stay in UK →
You start with the little things. The individuals. Then build up to small groups. Then you can treat whole demographics with disdain. Is this any more than blind bureaucracy? Is it wilful stupidity? Immigration is a heartless branch of this country’s government (I live in the US) and has nearly cost me my sanity on a number of occasions. I have seen little evidence that British immigration...
Watch Civil Disobedience For Sean Bell Today’s Moblogic, featuring Lindsay getting arrested (I presume she is no longer incarcerated since one of the comments is from someone who had apparently been locked up with her) seems to be causing quite some fuss/fun in the comments. Of course, no-one seems to be paying any attention to anything I’m saying there, but if I *will* continue to refuse...

WatchThanks Aaron. Oh, thank you thank you Aaron.
Fast internets will makes my days?
Oh hai. I am a person with Time Warner Cable fast internets. They are fasts but only in one directions, to me. And Time Warner Cables are too mean usually. But I likes to gives. Like Flickrs Pictures, or large files to be sending to my works in Londons. I also likes my bittorrent ratios to stays good for things like my Beebee Teevee. And I like to speak with video friends in the little window. So...

WatchIt seems that chums are breaking out the funny big time. Written, produced and directed by, and starring: Jeff… Ladies and gentlemen, he gives you, The Sexually… Conceived during a guitar-hero session between Jeff and the other backbrain of the show (Alicia), there’s some great script here. The back story? Well, watch it - it’s explained in the opening sequence. It also...
WatchI do like the answers to the last two questions in this walking interview with Ken… I must say I’m rather surprised by this. It seems that the British public, having blindly reacted to all those years of Thatcher, are still swinging back and forth like a fat kid’s playground horse on a spring at the first sound of the ice-cream van. It seems that Ken’s being ousted more...
