There's good news, however: our favourite among the … -

PlannedChildhood.org

Umm - what is with these guys? Are they anti-abortion, or anti-TV-violence, or anti-technology, or anti-drugs, or anti-pornography, anti-sex-ed, or what?
And the title: "Unborn babies poisoned by rocket launches" [sic]???
Still, this painting is pretty good. -

Last night's dream was somewhat weird. Like so many of mine:
I'm travelling by train with Claire. We're going to … -
Futurama’s Coming Back
Okay, it's not certain yet, but Wired News reports that it, and Family Guy (also killed by Fox) will make a comeback on Cartoon Network, with new episodes sponsored by the channel.
Yay. And, indeed, hey.
And in other news, to celebrate the change of name from Lindows to Linspire, Lindows.com are giving away copies of Linspire. … -
Whatever Happened To The Ship & Castle?
This is a disaster! According to The Cambrian News, the Ship & Castle has been closed down as a result of failing to pay it's license fees. Now where am I supposed to waste money on good real ale and pickled eggs?
Will report further once I've had a chance to investigate with my own eyes. -

Words Not To Use When You Don’t Want To Scare People
I hate it when I have to re-write a document to prevent it from scaring people. I've needed to remove the words 'hypnotise', 'malleable', and 'ordeal' from a document before I've been allowed to publish it. Just because people don't like thinking of things in terms of how much probing-within-your-head it involves...
My workmates and I … -

Two Men, Two Bikes, One Wall
After the success of yesterday's run, today I was exhausted. The weather was horrific, and we found ourselves having to pedal hard to get DOWNhill.
On my account, we had to take several extended breaks, which had us arrive in Stornoway, isle of Lewis, half an hour outside of our target window. I just collasped into … -
Two Men, Two Bikes, One Wall

Two Men, Two Bikes, Six Islands
Farmer at Berneray warned us that Stornoway, where we'd be tomorrow night, was a bed of sin, with young people drinking at taking drugs (this is a town barely larger, and more isolated, than Aberystwyth). He'd lived his entire life on this tiny island, and knew everybody on it, and it therefore stood to reason …
