Piped list
This is the Yahoo Pipes version of the list. The code’s a lot simpler, but there are fewer customisation options.

This is a test of Badger
If it works I may use it to replace the clutter on the sidebar with a dynamic list of what’s going on elsewhere.
Are you ready for the coming race war?
Lunatics like this are going to blow up people who aren’t perfectly white, other idiots are going to blow up anyone who’s standing next to them at the wrong moment because of their imaginary friend and our government’s going to pretend to protect us by creating the sort of repression the extremists all want.
Happy thoughts for a Monday morning.
Mid Life Crisis
I used to buy both the comics pilfered for this poster.
It’s possible the human race is doomed
Or maybe I’m just bitter because I can’t get laid.
JOE084
Left with the djs in The Venue.
It's possible the human race is doomed

Happy Birthday to PV
Though orange email’s being so crap that this probably won’t arrive until her next birthday.
Alex has outdone himself with the cake decoration.
Fundoms
Not for barrier use.
A question
In the nature of the lazyweb, but not something I plan to do any time soon-
Could a mobile device be turned into a server?
Bad Tattoos
We spent far too much time in the pub last night looking at some of the horrible creations recorded at badtattoos.com
Backlog
Orange mobile email is being increasingly crap. I now have a backlog of five emails going back to Friday that just refuse to send, with the connection either timing out or the email server being unavailable.
What’s O2 or T-Mobile’s email service like?
Tepee
I think that’s how you spell it. There are three of them in front of Whitworth art gallery as part of the children’s art exhibition and I finally got round to looking inside.
Mending Time
The first of a series I’m going to call Strange Little World, which will place models and toy soldiers in odd places.
MMU Degree show 2008
I’ve spent a few hours over the last few days checking out the degree show at the Manchester Metropolitan University, looking for ideas to steal. (Note to lawyers- not really.)
In fact, it felt as if some of them had been stealing ideas from me. Lots of the photographers have discovered the post industrial landscape, where I don’t remember any being that way inclined last year. And at least two people were doing stuff with toy soldiers, including one who had been leaving them around town. It was also a little depressing to see the poor standard of spelling and punctuation on some of the artist’s statements. You’d think someone would check them before they were printed and stuck to the wall.
I picked up a wad of business cards. Not all of them have websites, but I’m listing all the ones that do below-
Adam Senior
Sophie Petter A minimalist site, highlighting experiments with form in book and magazine design.
Andrew Duxbury Exercises in branding. Slightly annoying Flash bits.
Charlotte Watmough Production design. She has a blog, but it’s not been updated much.
Jonathan Wan Nice cartoony style, though it reminds me of someone else’s work.
Olivia Moss Cute illustration style that looks a lot like South Park characters.
Danielle Noel Advertising and art direction.
Katherine Aherne Good looking but Flash heavy site.
Daniel Fernandez-Arias Has created a lush looking graphic novel/multimedia western called Redemption.
Livid Thorn The colours hurt my eyes.
Ross Platt Design with a skate or recycling theme.
“How long?”
"Ten days."
"Can we last ten days? With those things out there?"
"I don't know, but we have to try."
Funky Tricab
This planet friendly taxi was running trips from Albert Square. It looks cool, though the driver admitted that it’s quite heavy and hard work to pedal.
The sign of a good night?
“Where’d I leave my Nikes?”
