What is a micromanager? I think we’ve all been micromanaged at some point. I get pissed off about it but tend to ignore the pedantry and do my own thing anyway (then get told off for not leaving in the bad grammar and spelling mistakes from the original……..).

Another option for rooftop micro wind generation. Swift turbines are reputedly the quietest available, have won awards for innovation and can be used to heat water, top up batteries or feed juice back to suppliers when not actively powering your home.

I missed the George Bush interview with Trevor McDonald, but apparently he was set to admit that global warming has a scientific basis and humans may be to blame. Of course, he’s not actually going to do anything about it, but at least he’s admitting the problem exists.

Two TV series, from completely different eras, could be set to make comebacks. I never liked This Life much, only ever watching for the sex scenes. Jack Davenport in particular has gone on to far, far better things(and now has a film career). Whatever your opinion, This Life may be getting a ten year revival.
The other series up for revival is Jackanory, as the new controller of CBBC is a big fan. I have absolutely nothing to say against Jackanory.
It’s only a one off built for the Shell Eco Marathon, but the Ech2o is impressive nonetheless. The builders, BOC, reckon the hydrogen fuel cell powered car can travel 25,000 miles using only 25 watts and hope to break the world fuel efficiency record.

I’ve uploaded some more phone cam pictures from Saturday to flickr. This rather sci-fi looking pod is a new cafe in the Corn Exchange (I waver between calling it by its original name and Triangle, which is what it wants to be called nowadays, depending upon my mood). I see a scene from Deputised Experts or one of my other planned comics unfolding here.
