Round 'em up

by secback @ Friday, Aug. 31, 2007 - 19:49:14

Making some demands on your time recently, aren't I? Still, I expect you made time for this one by skipping the long one about spiders.

Following on the late lamented Tony Wilson, Hilly Kristal has also died. He ran CBGB's in New York. Looks like it's a risky time to be an old punk impresario. If I was Malcolm McClaren's daycare nurse, I'd be checking his pulse regularly. Thanks to Mrs Tilton for the heads up. Incidentally, did you know Wilson was a Man Utd fan? It seems wrong somehow.

Still, there's plenty of other stuff to cheer us up. Here, for instance, is a rocket-powered prosthetic arm. Now there's something you really would give your right arm for.

While you're trawling through the blogs, do watch out for fake posts with links to hidden viruses. Apparently some blogs have been invaded by malicious posters, and other blogs have been created entirely for the purpose. So be warned, those cheap CD links aren't really from me. You'll never catch me offering you anything cheap. The more complex the Internet gets, the more it looks and feels like an ecosystem. For every niche, there's a predator. Some people are still trying to make it a better place though.

Here, meanwhile, may be the world's first war crime.

And an apology to the good people of NASA. Apparently their astronauts didn't fly drunk, as previously implied. Assuming we can believe anything they say, of course.

Tomorrow, the 31 day regime begins.
