Lawrence Lessig Comments on West Wing Appearance
Lawrence Lessig has taken the time to comment on his appearance on The West Wing. Except it’s not him—he’s played by Christopher Lloyd. Bit weird thinking that one of the foremost legal minds of our time would be represented on-screen by Jim from Taxi 🙂

John Peel Dies
John Peel has died aged 65 of a heart attack while on a working holiday in Peru with his wife. Such a sad loss, one of my favourite DJs — I always remember enjoying listening to his shows as a kid more than the more “trendy” Top 40 on a Sunday … 🙁

Nigritude Ultramarine — because Anil told me to. Clearly Nigritude Ultramarine has a lot to offer the world, but I’m sure it won’t be long before George Bush bans it! Ah, playing with SEO, gotta love it. However … as much as I hate to indulge SEO tactics … Nigritude Ultramarine is clearly something we…

Funny, I was just looking at nyc bloggers and thinking, “we should really have something like that … hang on, didn’t Gordon McLean [who runs Scottish Blogs] say something about setting up our version of that?” Lo and behold, after making a bit of clicky, I was…
