Took me a while to realize that it’s not the acoustics: foreigners are just so quiet. The Americans really stand out at Heathrow. #LHR
Ever considered that Americans are just LOUD?
Tuesday night is Date Night

My friends are ridiculous in a hilarious way. Tuesday night is when the local club goes off, so around 5-6 we all ask each other whether we should go or not, and everyone’s answer is essentially “I’ll go if everyone else goes”, so you get like 10 non-committal answers. It’s a wonder we get anything done.
Dear sweet Jesus, which club?
Wow. It's *that* awful?

Hey Tumblr folks, I’m going to have to quit you for a while as I need to put all my energy into work stuff right now. I may be back later, and I may not. If I quit this tumblr for good, I’ll post a proper goodbye.
On the bright side, my beauty tumblr http://no-bullshit-beauty.tumblr.com/ is about to get a lot more action.
I’ll still be on twitter as that doesn’t seem to...

Interesting story on how Wikipedia (and other such information sources) make it hard for certain ages-old gentleman’s agreements to work in the press.
From a local standpoint, Australian newspapers never used to report suicides unless the person was famous, and even then they’d sidestep any mention of the cause of death. The reason for this was evidence that has shown that people...

Question for iPhone developers.
Under iPhone OS 3.0 is it not possible to sell a limited app for say 99c, and then, from inside the app ask users to pay more to unlock features?

By the way, motherfuckers…
I shall be watching your Last.fm top five lists and any Michael Jackson in there will go down on your permanent record.

Am I going to buy the Daily Mirror today, with its 32-page tribute to Michael Jackson?
No.
C’mon, you guys.
Dunno. How many pages does the Guardian have?

Bye, Canon Ixus 900Ti.
For a compact digital, you took a lot of beating until this weekend I made the mistake of leaving you in my pocket while I split some logs. You are survived by many thousand photographs, quite a large number of them featuring nudity.

Use at will. It’s an indefensible original.

I was going to post a video by ‘Rival Schools’ from their album United By Fate to note that they’re back together and apparently recording a new album after a 5 year hiatus.
However, UniversalMusicGroup are a bunch of pack-a-day cocksmokers and they have disabled embedding. I’m sure that’s really helping their revenue stream.
Ironically, the song I was going to post...

In defence of the press.
Think about whatever it is that you do for a living. Think about how hard it is to organise people to do things, to get them done on time, to get it right. When you have a big deadline, how much of a pain in the arse is it to make sure everything is just so?
It’s a drag, isn’t it?
Now put yourself in the position of someone who works in the media, especially a daily newspaper or news...
