HackDay has a write-up on BBC News. 2007-06-16T10:07:05Z

Kent Newsome points to Stowe Boyd on the new, zany thing which is bouncing around the blo-yawn-gosphere - the "four-hour work week" meme, which sounds like it's... too good to be true. At least GTD has some substance to it, but the four-hour work week thing seems like a really cheesy marketing gimmick. Prove me wrong! 2007-06-16T07:26:27Z

If you are at Hack Day and are looking for something cool to build, why not take a look at the Facebook Platform wiki? (From that Simon Willison character). 2007-06-16T07:23:54Z

I don't link to crazy liars. It's just part of my policy. You'll have to see what that Kent Hovind character has to say by visiting Pedro Timóteo's blog first. Apparently, Mr. Kent Hovind has been getting direct revelations from the man upstairs. As for Hovind's "sweet fellowship" with the Lord while in prison - it's too disgusting to even think about. 2007-06-16T07:21:17Z

Pito Salas has been looking in to noise cancelling headphones. Mine have literally saved my sanity. If I didn't have them, I would either be dead or in a mental institution. At the very least, they help me work. 2007-06-16T07:18:18Z

Koz is back on the OPML thing. Welcome back, mate. Once I've cleaned up PHP OPML Blog alpha, you can set your own copy up. 2007-06-16T07:17:14Z

Ophelia is pointing out the hypocrisy of the Vatican, who seem to think that the life of an unborn fetus is more important than that of a rape victim. The only meaningful way one can think of abortion is simple - property rights. A woman's uterus is her property, which means she can make the decisions as to what goes on inside. 2007-06-16T07:15:07Z

Tim Berners-Lee has been awarded the British Order of Merit. That's cool. He's probably the only person who has both the Order of Merit and hangs out on IRC. Smile and a wink 2007-06-16T02:00:35Z

Bad news, folks. Radio Open Source has lost it's spot on WGBH Radio in Boston. 2007-06-16T01:54:44Z

Aral has recordings of the OSFlash online conference. If you dig Flash, these are for you, although there are some problems if you use OS X. I'll watch 'em soon, when I can use Windows or fix the thing. 2007-06-16T01:35:06Z

Valleywag is having a good laugh at Mike Arrington's expense over - da da daaaa - widgets. 2007-06-16T01:31:40Z

Christopher Penn has a video from PodCamp Europe which happened recently in Stockholm. 2007-06-16T01:30:21Z

I didn't know that Saxon supports a very cool variable function within XSLT 1.0 by using a namespaced extension. Yah. Cool or wot? Okay, if you don't use Saxon, it's kind of dull, but otherwise, it's very neat. Here's the details in an article on XML.com. Since I have Saxon installed on my Mac, I can play with these. As for getting Saxon on the server? Well, there may be news about that soon. 2007-06-16T01:21:34Z

The two tags you need to follow over the weekend at Flickr are upcoming:event=173371 and hackdaylondon. There's gonna be tons of stuff posted to them. And you can keep your browser pointing right here for more. There's also a Flickr group that you can join and submit your pictures to. 2007-06-16T01:04:11Z

Tom Hughes-Crougher has written up Tuesday night's Geek Dinner with Jyri Engeström. I did indeed say what Tom thought I said. And this was the sort of length of early blog posts. If you want to get the feeling, you too can go back and see early Scripting News or read InstaPundit. Blog posts don't need to be huge great big things - they can be teeny little things like this. And they don't even need titles. Everything except content is optional, remember. 2007-06-16T00:59:21Z
