Never keep up with the Joneses. Drag them down to your level.

The title is a quote from Quentin Crisp.
Life Update:

I am SO amazingly proud of Alana. She was worried it may take her ages to get work, now she can pick and choose what school she wants to go to. Thats what work should be, they recognise talent and reward it. Not only is she the greatest teacher ever, she also might just might follow me on my damn-fool errand to go and make my fortune in America.


Why is it that months can go buy with NOTIHNG on at the movies. Then in the space of 4 months we can have a huge onslaught of Must See Movies. Don't believe me? Lets run down the list:


Caught in the 'Net:
This looks impressive. The downside is eventually some moron will jump, the familty will sue and it will be shut down. Hopefully you have to sign a waiver before you go on, just something to keep the eventual barrage of stupid law suits away. This will be a stop on my coast-to-coast tour.

How could any parent think this is a good idea. I'm pretty sure walking in on your parents is enough for mental scarring. For them to perform in front of you, to 'teach' you, thats enough to crack a brain in two. Now I don't know how savvy nine year olds are now days but no-one wants to see their parents get freaky, and according to this they got FREAKY, even if it is in the name of education. I really don't get it, I don't buy what they're selling. They wanted to hurt the kid, or worse and made up this story so as to avoid serious prison time. At least now everyone will know what freaks they are and keep an eye on the kid, to make sure that the inevitable sexual abuse is held off. Thats where this was heading and you know it, these parents have serious problems and the child is more than likely going to be abused in some other way.

Digg, my god does this site eat away time. It allows people to submit articles (links to them), other people then vote on them, if they get lots of votes they get moved up to the main page. Its a constantly changing source of wierd, wacky & more often than not interesting news. I have a reader on my Google Hompage and it is good for a distraction.

Google Update:
Yeah, it gets its own section now. Google has released themes for its personalised homepage. Now it might not seem like much, but if, like me, you always have an open window on Google (Its how I code) its a nice addition, seeing it go from bright green during the day, mauve in the afternoon & dark at night (I have my time set as TriBeCa in NYC, so it doesn't really match whats outside for me).

For GMail users (If you dont you REALLY should) here is a list of tips, trick, scripts & add-ons that will help you out.
