Stop. Frame.
Silly animations time.
Too Sexy Snape, and a couple of other Potter Puppet Pals animations.
Humphrey and Duncan. An owl and a duck, and occasionally some hedgehogs, in old school animated gif silliness.
Thanks to Jenny and Dave.

New Media Writers
I’ve not yet done anything that could be considered New Media Writing, but I have had a few ideas similar to the ones discussed in this article.
The drugs work some of the time……
The military’s attempts to counter the effects of sleep deprivation in combat zones.
TM100
I have a shiney new phone. It’s bigger and a clunkier than the T610 (RIP, I dunked it in warm water whilst cleaning the kitchen), but it has a better camera, video [a whole 5 seconds!] and a larger screen. This time I should really work out how to use the WAP and e-mail so I can moblog (number 40 on the list). All future phone wallpaper will be done in 240×320 as well as T610 resolution. Can everyone with a colour screen on their phone please work out the resolution and send it to me so I can do wallpaper for them too? Thanks.

Burnout 3. Should I pre-order it, or do you think Daz will?

Garden State, written, directed and starring Zach Braff (better known to us as the clueless doctor in Scrubs) and Natalie Portman. Review and interview with Braff from Salon (get a Day Pass.)
TVRski
A 24 year old Russian banker has purchased TVR. Initial statements say the cars will still be made in Blackpool. Much as I bitch and moan about cars and drivers, I have to say that if I did need a penis extension it would be made by TVR.

Got an interview! Gotta go.

This works
Haloscan trackback has now been added to this blog.
Thanks to Stephen for the heads up.
Testing
Hmmm. Blogger is a pain in the arse when it comes to pinging the trackback system. I had to read the Movable Type explanation of trackbacks to learn how it can be done, and there’s no explanation of how I ping manually.
This links to the trackback URL of my post from earlier about speed limits. I’m going to see what happens when I click on it. That didn’t work.
It looks like people with MT can leave trackback info for my Blogger submitted posts, but I can’t return the favour.
There has to be a way……
Tracking
Backblog does trackbacks now. I’ve been wanting a way to do those for a while. I’ve just got to fight with the code a bit to implement it.
Put your foot down
George Monbiot has an idea of how to make it impossible to break the speed limit by utilising the black boxes needed to police congestion charges. It would probably cut road deaths, but I don’t believe it would be the cure all he imagines.
I always stick to the speed limit in 30 and 40 mph zones, but sometimes my mind wanders. Just imagine if drivers didn’t even have to concentrate on keeping to a certain speed. Knowing the machine was doing it for them, they’d start checking out the shop windows and other cars and completely fail to spot the person stepping out in front of them. And you’d still get the idiots who insisted on pushing the maximum speed allowed even when common sense dictated they should be doing less. The scheme could displace pedestrian deaths from places where speed kills to ones where distraction kills.

It comes in pints?
You would most likely have a drunken romp with Legolas! (Damn those bloody drinking contests)
Whether you regret it in the morning or not, it should be very pleasurable at the time. Just beware of the spins! Puking on the poor elf would probably kill the romance. 😉

It’s a positive sign, the majority of housebuyers would pay a little more for increased energy efficency etc. However, the building industry, being a bit thick, doesn’t tell its customers about such aspects of their purchases.
