What a weekend – it may sound trivial, but I don’t seem to have stopped moving for more than twenty minutes since Saturday morning. I’ve caught up with friends from University and played with their three year old daugher. I’ve been to see The Experiment (read more) and roamed around Waterstones with the chairman of the IAB. I’ve walked through Regent’s Park and up to Primrose Hill with Matt Interconnected, met up with Nick and Katy for coffee, ukeleles and jelly-beans, and come home with Katy to watch 24 and The West Wing before having to (grudgingly) abandon The Oscars at 3am in the morning.

Firstly go here. And when you’ve been there and absorbed the true online horror of it all, then go here and explain to me the company I keep!?

Flash fun from the bunny that grabs your cursor. And from my dear friends at B3ta comes Britney’s naked Cat-a-Phone!. Oh those scamps… I wonder which one was responsible for that idea?

If anyone can find me any kind of documentation on the differing treatment of the paragraph tag on IE for Macs and IE for PCs (with specific reference to CSS, padding and margins), then I’d really appreciate it if you’d mail me. And if you need an example – compare and contrast plasticbag.org on a Mac and a PC. This issue appears to be one of the main problems that must be solved before effective permalinking becomes an option.

Bizarrely lacking designs of our time Verisign can’t answer the question – ‘how do I renew my domain name’. This is particularly amusing considering the question they suggest you ask them…

So Amazon listmania has finally hit plasticbag.org – presenting The Best 4AD albums ever – the guitar years, by yours truly.

Like Haughey, I’m rapidly approaching my thirtieth birthday – and so, like Haughey, I’m fascinated by the Bill Keaggy: Age 30 project A different photo, each and every day, for his entire thirtieth year. Many of my friends have taken their thirtieth birthday as an excuse to get the hell out of the country. I’m thinking of doing this too – perhaps a trip to LA and San Francisco this summer? I could go and pay homage to the Blog Pioneers…

You know one day I’d like to unashamedly sing Neil Diamond’s “Forever in Blue Jeans” to someone I think’s pretty cool. That would rock in a really lame way.

Money talks
But it don’t sing and dance
And it don’t walk
And long as I can have you here with me
I’d much rather be
Forever in blue jeans

Honey’s sweet
But it ain’t nothin’ next to baby’s treat
And if you pardon me
I’d like to say
We’ll do okay
Forever in blue jeans

Maybe tonight
Maybe tonight, you and I
All alone by the fire
Nothing around
But the sound of my heart
And your sighs

Money talks
But it don’t sing and dance
And it don’t walk
And long as I can have you here with me
I’d much rather be
Forever in blue jeans, babe!

So the first upgrade to the iPod appears – they now come in two varieties – one with a 10Gb Hard disk. The interesting stuff for those of us with older, less happening machines, is that there’s now a new set of software for it which allows you to hold your contact information on them as well… I’ll be doing that when I get home from the office!
