Introducing the Marseille Figs
the extraordinary Mr Dorian McFarland, and his 3 piece big band, the Marseille Figs have released a proper cd, and it gets a rather lovely review at roomthirteen.com. Read all about The Dirty Canon, by the Marseille Figs, and then buy it at amazon. It’s being released on my birthday. surely not a co-incidence.

Of course, this is the big day I’ve been waiting for and wanting to write about for the last six months, but even today I manage to get scooped by coates. so I’ll leave it to him.
http://www.moo.com- no politics, no data, no worthiness, just printing sexy little cards from your pictures.
I’d like to thank everyone. […]

My first ever youtube video
actually a quicktime of a days worth of pictures taken with my 20D at 6 fps…, since the youtube output looked rubbish:
Sophia and James’ Wedding
The low quality youtube version, if the above doesn’t work for you:

I think I now understand how Arthur Dent felt about that bypass
I just got back from a very happy week long trip to the Bay Area, to find that LMS Capital (not getting no googlejuice from me), a property developer, wants to build London’s 12th highest skyscraper across the road from our first floor flat.
Upon arrival, we rushed to see the (4-day long) exhibition that LMS […]

Right, time to start blogging again

Possibly the most tasteless advert I’ve ever seen
I clipped this from a US Airways in-flight magazine. It doesn’t say where this delightful institution is, but I’m guessing Vegas.
Check out the dolly’s atrociously photoshopped mushroom cloud dress. Celebrating the culture and diverse history of the original Weapons of Mass Destruction. Lest we forget, the United States of America is the only nation to […]

Open Rights Group taking subscriptions
Because of christmas, chaos and general technical disorderliness, it took us a little longer than anticipated to get ready, but the Open Rights Group is now ready to let the Pledgers put their money where their typing is and help us get the ORG up and running.
Even if you didn’t sign the pledge, please […]

new site: Farmsubsidy.org
I’ve been very quiet on the blogging front recently. Something about the autumn, something about being insanely busy on some secretish and some not so secretish projects. Something about being a little bored with writing about the web. I’ve had an idea for a total reconfigured blog here that I now have the toys to […]

Woo! look! Parliament.gov.uk lives!
It seems to be a day for old dogs to wake up.
Since 1998, when I first started researching parliament’s online activity, I’ve been badgering everyone I’ve ever met who might be in a position to make it happen, to make parliament.gov.uk point at parliament.uk . I blogged about it in February 2003
They’ve finally done […]

government to launch postcode-based local portal
It’s about the 7 year anniversary of the launch of upmystreet, and the Cabinet office has just made the latest of a long line of announcements that they’re finally going to pull their finger out and do something like an official version. I always maintained that if the government did it’s job properly, UMS […]

retrofitting geodata to wikipedia
Matthew Somerville and the Mysociety people have surpassed themselves, again.
Placeopedia will take you far less time to understand, enjoy and contribute to than it would for me to explain. Genius.

I just got 24 Mb broadband!
I pre-registered with Be Unlimited a few months ago, and then completely forgot about it. Then, a couple of weeks ago, I got an email from their MD, Dana Pressman. Dana and I worked on a little startup way way back ago when I was at Virgin and she was at Sapient, (before […]
