- My newish boss has just started a weblog We’re going to have to loosen him up a little, but so far it’s pretty interesting stuff and relevant stuff.
- Brad Pitt is a chameleon… This is actually a little creepy – Brad Pitt seems to completely change his look to resemble the person he’s going out with / married to. This must be why all my dates are with fat, old people. Dammit.
- Super Fantastic Clothing Company sells a range of medium-cool t-shirts I’ve got my eye on “Why aren’t we friends on MySpace” and “I {heart} Ryan Atwood”
- High Priority toolbar widget for OSX handles to-do items… Haven’t had much of a play with it so far, but I like the idea and I’ve paid the $6 to use it directly. I may actually need to start using to do lists more often…
- How to give Oral Sex to Bloggers in Return for PR Favors (by Jeremy Zawodny) PR aimed at webloggers increases every day. I normally tell people that if they want to send me free stuff, they’re more than welcome, but that I will on principle not write about it. That gets rid of most of ’em…
- Mike Butcher reports on the state of innovation and Web 2.0 in the UK at the moment He’s asking all the right questions as well as pointing out the radical disjunct between the Future of Web Apps event and the Second Chance Tuesday crew. Got a few of the BBC and Yahoo details wrong, but nothing crippling…
- Tristan Ferne posts some radio signatures he’s taken of the major BBC radio stations Wonderful, lyrical, evocative little samples of all the programmes on a BBC radio network are spliced together and cross-faded automatically. I have no idea what you’d use it for, but it’s pretty sweet. Radio 4’s my favourite. Radio 2 just plays Coldplay.
- “Generation Church ‚òÜ Taking the Reality of God to This Generation” Pretty much loving the star in the title bar, and the general CSS-elegance and stunning textural design of this site. Obviously I’m pretty much ignoring the specious religious rubbish that’s written all over it, but hey…
- I‚Äôm Your Biggest Fan, by Christopher Monks “There are many reason to pepper a celebrity with fan mail: admiration, a sense of kinship, obsession, even boredom. Any are acceptable, all are believable, until you try to explain your motives to others.” Unfortunately true.

Brad Pitty it’s only superficial image then.
Being a creapy, premature, 24+ something, scrappy, fool, looking like the fugliest version of Johnny Depp (if even imaginable), wearing a scrawny Gwyneth Paltrow husk (or rather, 17.5 BMI at 1.85m), I just lost all hope. Dammit. [Irony.]
Still, you’ll drown in unreturned free stuff sooner or later, so I’ll have my vengeance! Bwahaha!! But first, I need some dough. Guess I’ll go for Bennie, I’ve heard “she’s really keen”. [Sarcasm.]

Unrelated, plus who cares, this is probably my last ‘feedback’ [more like, trashback..] on the internet for a long time – 6 months to lifetime – anyway.. [Insert deep breath of relief here.] Frankly, ’cause I’m sick of my own tragic opinions and stupid, insulting ramblings.
I’ll just lurk in the shadows like I did 7+ years ago when I was happy, and hopefully those days’ll come back to me. So, good fortune for lifetime, belle. Fuck you right back to the future now. This is just the end of another stupid era, anyway – so why are you still reading..?
I went along to Second Chance Tuesday: one man gave me the spiel on his great idea for five minutes and then seemed a bit deflated when I pointed out that it had already been done: it was called PointCast and had disappeared into fucked company land years ago.
There was also a number of young smart but lacking in common sense suits who are probably plotting how to invest their funds to cause maximum damage to the teachers pension fund that entrusted them with the cash.
Radio 2 just plays Coldplay
Ah, but everything sounds like Coldplay now…
