POPSOops... In a week that has seen a lot of "back-and-forth" about SpinVox, they really didn't need their former BBC champion Rory Cellan-Jones to go on the offensive. I am just worried that my friends who are still there make sure that they still have a seat when the music stops...

POPSHooray, yet more US Gov bullshit designed to distract people from their own shortcomings Having read the piece (I strongly recommend you do as well dear reader) I am firmly convinced that this poor misguided bugger is the victim of a witch-hunt + scapegoat search = PR win for the real fuck-ups... I mean seriously, this guy was (admittedly illegally and out-right stupidly) looking for supressed evidence about UFOs, not attempting to bring the US military network down - 45 years he faces! That's not justice that's peevishness - I'm off to head over to the "Free Gary Blog" mentioned in the piece...

POPSAll hail King Knut! I can't believe that Nadja and I did not go and see him - we will have to go back to Berlin; oh what a shame. Still even he will not be able to stop the tide of visitors this Easter weekend, so I think we'll go on a weekday sometime...

POPSWhedon Win! Go Joss, go! At last the truth is known! Ok, ok, so I'm actually not that foaming a Whedon fan, in truth, and Star Wars is and will ever be my first love (child of the 70's me), but this has got to be the most telling zeitgeist temperature indicator in a decade - criminals are cooler than Jedi...

POPSMana from heaven? Do Microsoft have no shame? If they really believed that this was the case, why not offer the basic version of Vista and XP Home for free, then low-income people could still elect to spend their limited budget on Office, or Money or whatever other M$ product, even on upgrading their OS to a more robust and feature-full version... This is just backwards opportunism and double standards, they have no real understanding of the morality of IP they __only__ care about their bottom line - have nothing to do with them, it is the only way to show them that they are wrong.

POPSOuch! If this was said with a smile it's funny, if not it's overly mysoginistic for my taste, but overall it's a great way to show a new bunch of people the wonder that is www.overheardinnewyork.com .

POPSWil Wheaton recalls meeting WFS I have long championed Wil Wheaton's writing to my friends and colleagues, now all you clippers can have the message too - I know the clip is from some way into the story, but click through and give it a try - it's a great story that he tells well.

POPSCheck this on CNN - Strike one for the politics of hatred in th US! I'm glad to see that the power of the public has prompted companies in the US with a conscience (or semblance of one) to choose to not back / give money to Anne Coulter... Read the piece and the piece linked inside it - I am appalled that she gets any respect / attention at all, but there we are....

POPSUnbelievable story of humanity... It's not hard to believe that the love between these two people has met with unreserved resistance and rejection from their communities... It doesn't mean that it's not terribly sad that it has...
