I don’t like this game any more. I don’t think I’m Arch, Illicit or Warped!

I can’t stop myself linking to it because it’s so wonderful, but at the same time I’m dreading linking to it because I’m scared that the amount of traffic it might get when people realise exactly how cool it is might stop me from mining it to its core. The site is Singing Science Records – an MP3 repository of 50s Atomic Age Americana – songs that explain Friction, songs that explain Rainfall, songs that explain Newton’s Laws of Motion. I’ve already got all of one album, but there’s so much more wonderful stuff there to rifle through. A perfectly wonderful site.

Diesel Sweeties just doesn’t seem to understand the true existential pain of being an evil robot, relentlessly blunt and unable to fully relate with other human beings. That’s the only explanation I can find for their latest offering. On a completely unrelated subject, I’d just like to take this opportunity to apologise to many of my straight male friends.

It may be less high-tech than the Segway, but there’s a lot to be said for the reinvention of the tricycle.

What would it mean to go professional as a weblogger. I’ve been thinking about this today – would it be possible to get £800 a month from people for weblogging? That’s pretty much the least amount of money that I can live on (Londoners would understand). And would it be possible to get that amount of money consistently?

Not everyone appears to share my taste in men. This is of course fine… But rise to the challenge people… Or are you too embarrassed to reveal the lusts of your life in a public space?

Pop Quiz – if the 1000000000th second of my life will be around twenty past two in the morning of Saturday March 27th 2004 then when was I born? [Useless dates related to your birthday]

And another day’s mail comes and goes without any money arriving.

Don’t waste your time here – go and read something funny.

There are a number of people out there who don’t like the Bloggies. A fair number of people didn’t like them last year either. Just as a matter of interest, I’d be really interested in hearing some of the reasons people think they’re a bad or ridiculous idea. Mail me with your opinions. I’m not saying I’ll reply to them all, but I might write something longer about some of the debate surrounding them later if I get some good comments.
