The thing I love about conspiracies
is trying to figure out if the theorists are nutty whack-jobs, or just cheeky story-tellers….

Nice to know that The Hardman and Lolzilla are properly fathered.
#Akermankiss
I’m loathe to step into the Akermanis debate, as I don’t think that a flurry of ‘wanker’, ‘dickhead’, and ‘homophobe’ one-liners will really help address this issue….
But….. the more I think about it, the more it sounds like a thinly veiled threat…
They Shoot Music - Don't They →
This is a wonderful idea - I’d love to see this happen locally.
I’d love to do it, but I am crap at most things (truly, just ask someone I know). So, who from my legion of fans will build this and make it beautiful?
I’ll help… somehow…
UPDATE: Phew, it’s a good thing I didn’t say I haven’t got enough time

Drivers face fines for unlocked cars
This is the flipside of the social welfare state.
If you leave your car unlocked, it is a crime. It is a crime because the state considers it to be a waste of police crime to follow up on petty theft from vehicles.
The message that this send to citizens is...

You have cockroaches?
Please say no.
In Wadeye, I once woke up to cockroaches crawling on my face. My sister almost called the police because she thought someone was throwing bricks at the house. It was just me, with my shoe.
We fumigated the room the next day.
Fucking cockroaches, they were everywhere under the flooring.
I couldn’t sleep in that...

The Waffler: Byline 3 — Not Your Grandpa’s Google... →
I’m pleased to announce the release of Byline 3, the long-awaited successor to the first and best Google Reader app on the App Store. (Well, I think it’s the best, but then I would, wouldn’t I?) Byline has been pulled apart and reworked from the inside out, and the result is a lean little…
Byline certainly is by far and away the best RSS app for iPod touch users like me. The caching is...
Familiar faces on the train
Without a word
With neither sound nor sign
Without a glance
Without a nod

indefensible:
The world is made worse by people doing many of the things that I also do. I can take a step back and see that I am part of the problem. I can rail against the problem, while being part of it. This is the schism that comes of making any attempt to live a considered life. Consistency is almost impossible because we are none of us just one person.
…while unduly suffering the...

I think I missed the chapter in the Code of Adult that said it was acceptable behaviour to Cheer and Jeer when someone lost their job.
I’ve seen a few people lose their job, and it really sucks - even when they’re shit
Wha? What happened? Who lost their job?
Well, not you, obviously… ;)

Who needs a unifying theme anyway?: Analogue II →
I guess the thrust of my idea is that as everything gets better, as everything gets more perfect, it becomes predictable. This bores us. The perfection in our lives makes us want chaos. I’d go so far as to say that not only do we want it –– we need it.
There’s a part of each of us, and therefore…
Things do seem to ‘get better’ by removing barriers to execution.
We’re...
Speaking of tiny little men....
When I see a “so & so liked your post” in my tumblr dashboard… I get a little swell of pride (especially when the so & so is someone I haven’t met)…
Thanks world….
