You may have to excuse me while I stop posting for a while and get to know my daughter instead

Back in a bit….

NASA have rescanned loads of original film from the Apollo missions. They are truly impressive!

Perhaps it’s time to ask the Home Office to get their fingers out of their arses and actually make a decision on this…

Apparently I wasn’t the only obsessed with K.I.T.T. in my childhood. I’m secretly glad I didn’t go this far. This guy clearly likes to finish things… My favourite bit is near the bottom:

In August 1985, I was seven years old and in the third grade. At the beginning of my first English lesson ever, the teacher asked the classroom (in Finnish, of course) if anyone knew any English. Other kids were familiar with basic phrases like �My name is Mikko� and �How are you?�, but I blurted out �I am the Knight Industries Two Thousand. My serial number is Alpha Delta 227529. I am unauthorized to allow access to my Central Processing Unit.� Boy, did that get a reaction!

Apparently yesterday was Spooner’s Day. Shame we missed it really. I could have spent all day going on about pheasant pluckers and shining wits and the like.

You can buy K.I.T.T. The car of my dreams for most of my pre-teen years….

File sharing doesn’t damage CD sales. Well there’s a surprise….

Anyone having recently read Kavalier and Clay (and if you haven’t, you should) will be glad to find instructions for making a Golem in the comfort of your own home…
