- Not safe for some workplaces: Late night potty mouth and all-round entertaining individual Charlie Brooker takes a look at the ‘Ten Biggest Cocks in UK Advertising’ Sent to me by my younger brother and possibly rather beyond the standard acceptable threshold for some offices, exemplifying as it does the very best swears in contemporary UK usage applied vigorously and often to adverts…
- Another appalling Charlie Brooker video that you absolutely should not watch: 10 biggest Cocks and she cocks in advertising Actually there are bits where you do shift a little uncomfortably, even if–like me–you just think swearing is funny and cool. My mother would be appalled. I’m like Dexter only with bad words instead of murdering people.
- Slightly more seriously, the Open Rights Group and the electoral commission looked into e-voting and found it was massively flawed. The Government doesn’t care. Deeply depressed by this one. One of those situations where very intelligent professionals work hard, independent groups agree with their conclusions and yet they’re completely ignored by people with power.
- OAuth Core 1.0 has been published. We’re using OAuth on Fire Eagle should that be interesting to you in the slightest. For those of you who don’t know, OAuth is a spec for the kind of process that Flickr does when you tell it you can share information with a third party site.

The thing I really love about Charlie is that he shouts exactly the same things at the telly as I do when I’m on my own 🙂
Thanks for the Charlie Booker links. I really needed a profanity-induced laugh. Maybe not safe for all workplaces, but mine induces large amounts of swearing already.
