Hitting the Spot
The Vulva Puppet. Need I say more.
Not really NSFW, unless you click on the wrong link, but you can never be too careful.

Must network
And can more people join the Manchester branch of Weblogger meetup so I can meet all the cool Manchester bloggers.
Hell, Spinneyhead itself could almost make a quorate blogger MeetUp.
Maybe I should start a Spinneyhead MeetUp group?
AI Receptionist
It seems not even the reception work is safe, with the advent of the AI Receptionist. It looks like you will be making your own cups of tea from now on.
Walk Like…….
You’re Egypt!
Curator of ancient mystical secrets, your life on the surface is fairly typical these days. Though you are in denial about more things than most people. Nevertheless, you’re trying to convince people that you’re safe despite your more volatile and unstable times that seem to be behind you. You like cats a whole lot.
You’d probably really appreciate The Blue Pyramid.

Narnia
You’re The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe!
by C.S. Lewis
You were just looking for some decent clothes when everything changed quite dramatically. For the better or for the worse, it is still hard to tell. Now it seems like winter will never end and you feel cursed. Soon there will be an epic struggle between two forces in your life and you are very concerned about a betrayal that could turn the balance. If this makes it sound like you’re re-enacting Christian theological events, that may or may not be coincidence. When in doubt, put your trust in zoo animals.

Be my friend
Messing around with FOAF files. The thing with all these Friendster type things is that I’m too shy to invite other people (and I don’t like being volunteered for things without being asked- consider it a throwback to bad work experiences- so I don’t like to do it to other people). Has anyone else I know got one of these files? (I built it here) and would they mind being linked to?

Edit: I’ve pointed Plink at my FOAF.
Holy shit, it's stopped snowing!
Well, that was brief.
Holy shit, it's snowing!
And it’s cold enough to settle, but I don’t expect there to be very much.
Pink Pages
(Cross posted to Monitor Duty, where I seem to be the token ‘liberal’. I’d be interested in debating this with some of them, because none of the arguments against have any merits whatsoever as far as I can see.)
It’s always worth getting a Salon day pass to check out Keith Knight’s K Chronicles This week- the San Francisco gay marriage kerfuffle.
Daryl Cagle has assembled a load of cartoons on the subject, logical, political, sweet, funny and moronically reactionary.
Personally, I think the King of Cambodia has the right idea.
(Two comments about gay weddings in one day? I have a cold, it must be putting me in touch with my feminine side. Plus, King Sihanouk is my new hero.)
Comix etc.
Deputised Experts has been put on hold until webcomicsnation is up and running. It was supposed to be here already, but you know how software projects are. On the plus side, some of the proposed functions are incredibly cool.
Still no luck with spinneyhead.co.uk coming back online. Time for another e-mail to someone who has a better idea of what’s going on in the hope they can help me.
Finally, via Green Fairy, a meme that’s been doing the rounds. List the first twenty songs in your mp3 playlist after randomising. (Looks at current playlist, winces, and hits sort.)

Another Aqua car. This one’s even cooler because it has hydra-planes and should go even faster on water.

Frisco and Cambodia- the axis of tolerance
King Sihanouk of Cambodia has announced a wish that his country should follow in the footsteps of San Francisco and legalise gay marriage. It’s a shame our monarchy isn’t this cool.
Meanwhile, his country’s government is proposing Khmer Rouge theme parks.
Tour guides will be selected from among former members of the genocidal regime who are not currently awaiting trial for crimes against humanity……”Most areas have been declared free of land mines,” secretary of tourism Thong Khon said.
