Lazyweb: I have a friend who has split from their American partner and is in a child custody discussion with the partner, who is in the US (my friend lives...
Simon, See my private note to you. David ... Subject: [WebMink] Lazyweb Lawyers? From: webmink <webmink@...> To: webmink@yahoogroups.com Date: 6/6/2007...
Seems someone with Lego interests reads my link blog. A little while ago I posted a link to a silicone ice cube tray that makes ice "Lego bricks" noting that...
We just flew up to Edinburgh on FlyBE, which calls itself "the UK's number one low fares airline". Not that you could tell from the prices we paid. Each ticket...
[http://hvo.wr.usgs.gov/cam/index.htm] Probably a sign of geekdom, but the Kilauea volcano on Hawai'i fascinates me and I have visited it several times...
Just a quick alert for those of you using iTunes US - the free track this week is really good. It's A Fine Frenzy - Almost Lover and will appeal to Feist fans...
Rome Panorama Originally uploaded by webmink Here's the view east from the top of St Peter's on Sunday. You can see the Pantheon near the centre, the Colosseum...
Seems Skype are feeling guilty for cutting us all off last weekend. I just got an e-mail from them telling me they have added an extra seven days onto my...
Totality (crop) Originally uploaded by webmink I remember back in 2000 sitting in a hot tub in California watching a lunar eclipse that happened just after...
I have been following a site called Lost At E Minor for a while now. They have an eclectic mix of art and music on there, often with an antipodean slant that...
The sample tracks finally managed to displace A Fine Frenzy from continuous play, so I gave in and bought not one but two albums by Juana Molina. I really...
Heathrow is in a state of "increased alert" this morning, according to the yellow-jackets just before security in Terminal One. What this mean is that they...
... I feel your pain. I have just returned from SFO to Glasgow, and in all fairness, the customs into the UK was an absolute breeze compared to the US side of ...
So? <sigh> It's nothing short of security theatre :-) It's not a matter of security, it's a pretext to appear to be doing something. There is NOTHING they...
... Actually, that's close to what I feel is the reason. The rules don't exist to make sense. They exist for you to follow them. They jack up the pain, ...
The war has started between the two As - Apple and Amazon. I just gave Amazon MP3 a try and it works splendidly. They are selling current chart music in the US...
... Perhaps, but I just went looking for music that I want, and I am sorry, but I want it performed by whom I want it performed, not from the "Karaoke All ...
There is another possibility that is more likely, given the pervasive attitude of the cell carriers in the US. Specifically, AT&T insisted on the locked phone...
... sorry, but ... "Karaoke All ... literally ... I had the opposite experience. I am sitting listening to KT Tunstall's album "Drastic Fantastic" as I type....
Now, if this report is true... http://apple.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=07/09/25/1136228&from=rss There is a case to be made for Apple == villain David ... ...
One of the big differences for me is that I can use iTMS from Australia. Amazon appears to be a US only service at this point. ... -- dIon Gillard Rule #131 of...
... Actually dIon, you can use iTMS Australia, not iTMS - there's plenty of stuff on iTMS US you can't buy (unless you happen to have a US accommodation...
Very true, and iTMS Oz is in most respects a cut down version of the US store content wise - no TV shows for example. But hey, I can buy the CDs and DVDs from...
Still enjoying using Amazon MP3 (you'll need to use a US delivery address to buy stuff). Today I finally got round to buying Leslie Feist's The Reminder. I'm...
I noticed a few weeks ago that Last.FM had added a video tab to all the artist pages, but I couldn't find any. Today I got some promo-spam from them pointing...
OK, I could get into this Last.FM video thing. I have really been enjoying this week's free track on iTunes UK, "This is the thing" by Fink (not free in iTMS...
I'm sitting in my splendid room at Keystone listening to Moncef Genoud's brilliant Aqua and idly web surfing. I notice that Amazon MP3 (US only for now sadly)...
I just opened my post and found to my delight that the proposal submitted by Margaret Ross was accepted and I have been awarded Fellowship of the British...
