Things other people accomplished…
Are you feeling adequate today? Not too many crushing self-doubts? Able to look at yourself in the mirror without collapsing? Then what you need is Things Other People Accomplished When They Were Your Age. Guaranteed to make you realise how bloody pointless you are. Meanwhile, if you want to know what the Queen Mum accomplished in her long, rich and incredibly privileged life then go see this particularly fine flash tribute to her. Guaranteed to make you realise how bloody pointless she was.
Long bony finger-wagging…
During my short life, I have not found many reasons to want to go around Meg’s house and smack her on the back of the knees while wagging a long bony finger at her. But I think this picture may have finally pushed me over the edge.

Is there anything good on the web?
It has been mooted recently by a lot of your more fashionable pundits that the web just isn’t as interesting as it used to be. I had this discussion with Matt Webb just the other day, in fact. He swore blind that there was no longer anything interesting on the web. Well he was wrong. And I’m going to link to fucking loads of things today to demonstrate exactly how wrong a man can be…
Street Pornography
It’s probably not quite what you think it is, but it’s still awfully good. A collection of captured streetlife – fast, unfocused, weirdly composed (if composed at all). Atmosphere is everything.
On revisiting Mork and Mindy…
Mork and Mindy
Mork calling Orson, Come in Orson. This is Mork calling Orson – complete with cheesy music.
London’s Great Plague in 1665…
Plague
Bored by life? Wish you were dead? Live in London? What a shame you didn’t live there in 1665 when you could have been one of the 100,000 people killed off by the Great Plague. Channel Four have all the charnel knowledge…
Jim Bowen’s special place…
Jim Bowen 2001
If you’re British and in your mid-to-late twenties or above, then Bullseye star Jim Bowen probably occupies a very very special place in your heart. Particularly if – like me – a weekend stay with your grandparents as a child involved a heavy dose of ‘nothing in this game for two in a bed’ on a Sunday afternoon…
Revenue models for online communities…
Online Community Report
Are you a community builder? Are you interested in the latest revenue models for online communities? Well ok, so tht’s a bit of a long-shot. I think it’s interesting…
