I’ve been rather busy this week, and haven’t found time to write much here. So here are some random thoughts.

– We’re still the web’s number 1 search result for “brain surgeon’s salary” (although, somewhat disappointingly, we’ve dropped down to third in the results for “creative writing magazine“)

– I still can’t pass a bookshop without buying something. Oops, and something else.

Tim Yeo is still an idiot (you’ll probably be wanting to read this for some background).

– Apparently we can’t use “google” as a verb anymore. I look forward to my cease and desist letter arriving in the post.

– According to this article: “a third of the American public believes U.S. forces have found weapons of mass destruction in Iraq, according to a recent poll. Twenty-two percent said Iraq actually used chemical or biological weapons.” Pretty scary stuff, but I prefer these statistics. I think my favourite is the one that says:

“12% of those polled believe the success of actor David Hasselhoff, star of Baywatch, is due at least in part, to ‘dealings with the devil’.”

– Oh, and some crazy US senator made a statement this week to the effect that copyright holders should have the right to automatically destroy the computers of people downloading pirate software or music. Turns out his website was using some unlicensed code for a JavaScript menu system. Hmm. love the smell of hypocrisy in the afternoon.
