Ye Laddes From Macc
No, not those Macc Lads. It’s the Macclesfield Psalter from ye verily olde Macc Lads. More here.

Keeping Warm in the Ice Age
Archeologists have uncovered an 28,000-year-old impressively large dildo from a cave in Germany.
Researchers believe the object’s distinctive form and etched rings around one end mean there can be little doubt as to its symbolic nature. “It’s highly polished; it’s clearly recognisable”.
Princess
Back in 1999 people were flinging cash at "The Internet" like zoo chimps fling shit. Some morons at Shockwave.com decided to give the wonderfully congenitally obnoxious Trey Parker and Matt Stone a free hand to create animated Flash cartoons. Yeah, the South Park Guys. They created "Princess", which was curtailed after only two episodes, probably because the executives finally got around to seeing what they had bought. So much for their fantasies to "mass market across multiple platforms".
These episodes are gross. You have been warned.
Enemies of Humanity
The second press release, where the “unidentified Iraqi source” apparently miraculously recycles George Bush quotes. Maybe he/she is channelling?
Small Wonder
Much though I dislike Wal-Mart, it is now selling one of the latest Asian fads: the Mobiblu Cube mp3 player. This literally tiny little marvel packs in an mp3 player, a radio, and a recorder into the space of a sugar lump, and then manages to also include a very sexy organic LED (OLED) on the surface for a self-luminescent display. This makes that terrible shuffle flash player from Apple look even crappier than before.
Soon audio players will be small enough to shove in your ear, no separate headphones required. It’ll be like the Babel Fish from Hitchhiker’s, only with better tunes and less sliminess.
Sell Out Sunday
Implemented Google adverts on the page. It seems to think I am all about body fat and dieting. Contextual advertising rules, oh yes.
Burning Political Economy
Burning Man is coming up. I just noticed that an old Wikipedia entry I made was deleted some time ago by an IP registered to Black Rock City, the corporate shell that owns Burning Man. So much for radical free expression! Here is what it said:
A camp’s radial proximity to the median axis and the central “Esplanade” street functions as a rough indication of social status within BRC. Social status is generally earned through multi-year attendance at “Burns” and social networking and is an interesting demonstration of emergent political will within a planned society. Considering that large portions of BRC’s inner ring territory are either explicitly pre-designated for theme camps or reserved by occupants through active blocking and positional denial to “tourists”, BRC’s emergent and dynamic political layout is becoming of great interest to urban sociologists. It is an interesting question as to how long the current political system can maintain its population growth without running into the classic aggressive factionalism experienced by most rapidly growing trade cities during their medieval expansions.
