I love Belle De Jour. I love the media frenzy trying to out her, I love her cander about boy, and I love the fact who does what she wants for a living (or at least I hope she does), but when you read about men being shitty, it could break my heart. Even through [...]

As if perfectly timed with my rant this morning aboutiTunes and the need to be able to tag mp3s, here’s an interesting diagram about “the cycle of hype” around tagging.

Well it appears that some of our leaders have been smoking the weed and taking hits from the bong whilst at university. Big surprise. Lets face a simple fact, that I would suspect that more people under the age of 45 have ingested something illegal at some point in their life, and to rule them [...]
This is really beginning to bug me. I have a large mp3collection, mostly because I spent 2 weeks ripping my cd collection to mp3 in case of theft and fire, and so I can take it on the road with me when working away from home. I’ve been used iTunes to try and mange it, [...]
