This could be really entertaining…  Contrast the following stories:

Mr Brown, your relationship with America is about to be tested.

Displacement Activity

Posted at 1:31pm on Wednesday, June 6th, 2007

Until only yesterday I would have said that the Olympics were the last real example of displaced warfare.  Lots of metaphorical and literal flexing of muscles in a thinly disguised version of kicking sand in the 7 stone weakling’s face.

However, yesterday we decided that it would be a good idea to start pointing missiles at each other again so the Olympics briefly returned to sideshow status and we get to have a nice diplomatic standoff, rather than all this sporting subtlety.

That said, the Olympics do still bring out the worst in countries - even towards their own citizens:

2 million displaced in the last 20 years by the Olympics

Webcameron

Posted at 2:29pm on Wednesday, March 28th, 2007

I am very slow. I had heard them take the piss out of our Dave’s webcameron project on the radio, but I hadn’t actually bothered to look. Oh. Dear. Lord. Apparently he’s in beta. b3ta more like. And he has a youtube channel. What a twat. I mean really, who sold him that load of old toot? (And it’s ASP.NET so he’s likely paying through the nose for it as well).

Adam Laurie has helped the Daily Mail crack a UK passport. They’re doomed. Doomed I tell you.

What the candidates are using

Posted at 11:38am on Monday, March 5th, 2007

This is a lot more interesting than it sounds - a breakdown of the technologies behind each of the 2008 presidential candidates’ web sites. Particularly interesting is the Video stuff. I like the comments about Youtube. Clever technology is clever, but technology everyone already knows about and can use is cleverer still.

Conservapedia

Posted at 12:18pm on Sunday, February 25th, 2007

Hmmm…. Is Wikipedia too frightening for you? Then why not try Conservapedia instead? Guaranteed to have excised any facts that may hurt your ever more fragile faith.

Gah!

Some times I wonders, and some times I knows

I think these people should think very carefully about the danger of false positives.

This country is going to the dogs

I mean really, you can’t even arrange a good old traditional bare knuckle toddler fight without some PC nanny-statist getting on your back.
