Psychic to Solve Murders
I can take a joke as much as the next person, and the fact that loads of people seem to take Living TV’s Most Haunted seriously is fine by me. There are plenty of people who believe in all sorts of nonsense. I’m slightly more uneasy about people like John Edwards and his British equivalents…

Soggy Bottom Boys
Soggy Bottom Boys Remixed – via Boing Boing. Music to pass the time of day by until you get your copy of O Mickey, Where Art Thou (heard the bluegrass version of Supercalifragilisticexpialdocious last night on Radio 2, but I want to hear The Bare Necessities – even though I hate Disney for reasons not…

ID Card Bill “Within Four Weeks”
Brilliant. It seems that the terrorist attacks in Madrid make it necessary.

Ofcom – Digital Switchover
Ofcom has today published its report on digital switchover, looking at moving from analogue to digital. Ofcom put digital penetration at 50.2% of households, with satellite making up 28.9%, cable 9.1% and Freeview 12.2%. The report certainly makes for interesting reading, and it makes 30 main findings and recommendations. I didn’t know that Berlin switched…

ID Cards Rear Their Head Again
Of course we need ID cards now. That’s obvious isn’t it? I mean with all the potential terrorists being picked up and arrested all over the place, ID cards are the way forward.

Air America
No not a Mel Gibson film from 1990 that I haven’t seen and have no real intention of seeing either, but a new left-wing US radio network. I’d love to listen, but their website is kaput just now, and like any new venture, there have been one or two teething problems (may be subscription if…

Fry and Laurie – Holmes and Watson
Look, I know this’ll be fun, but frankly, I’d prefer more Jeeves and Wooster (dug out my tapes the other weekend for a couple of nostalgic episodes) or even “a bit more” Fry and Laurie!

PS2 Online
Much excitement on Sunday, when I finally got my PS2 online. I bought the adaptor… ooh… back in May last year. Registered, and then borrowed a copy of SOCOM to try to get online. Unfortunately, while I was able to register, using my good old crossover network cable, unplugging it from my other PC, seemed…

Yellowface/All The Lovers In The Night
Yellowface by R F Kuang I first came across R F Kuang with last year’s very enjoyable Babel, an alternate history of the British Empire told in a world where magic exists and is controlled by an elite group of individuals. Yellowface is very different, but no less enjoyable. It’s a book about books, and…
