Scientists have mapped and measured Britain’s tidal “bounce”, the phenomenon whereby the land moves up and down due to the weight of ocean water on the continental shelf. Link to this post! In response to requests made last Saturday, I present- the Perfect Sex Toy Tank Top. Link to this post! Heroes, and hero worship, by their very nature are unnecessary (and potentially harmful)in a stable society. (The Stranglers, No More Heroes) Link to this post! Pottered around the Northern Quarter yesterday, getting pictures for my next project. It’s tentatively titled Written on the Walls, until I can think of a better name, and is a collection of shots of stuff painted and stuck on walls- both graffiti and commercial art. One sample image and a couple of others I took on my rounds. Link to this post! Kevin Smith is planning a sequel to Clerks, basically coming back to the characters ten years on to see if their lives have changed. via Drew’s blogorama (he’s not happy about the idea) (Clerks, Clerks: The Comic Books, Clerks animated series, Clerks/ Chasing Amy screenplays, Clerks Soundtrack) Link to this post! The Twentieth Century Society is planning guided tours of the ugliest buildings in Manchester. They don’t put it like that, of course. It’s a tour of historically significant post-war architecture (which just happens to be horrendously ugly and deserves tearing down.) Link to this post! Swedish art terrorists kidnapped and dismembered one of Stockholm’s cows. Ickle mentioned this last week, but he doesn’t have permalinks, so I couldn’t point at it. Link to this post! The Ultimate Cheese album is out. I just wonder how many of the songs Griff hasn’t got already. Link to this post! This week’s subject is modern. I wanted to juxtapose new and old, so here are a couple of stainless steel sculptures that recently went up outside the Corn Exchange (aka Triangle. Why are Manchester developers so scared of the city’s heritage? Ancoats is becoming New Islington, the Corn Exchange became the Triangle. The Printworks is the only exception I can think of offhand.) Link to this post! Introducing the newest branch of Spinneyhead. A sort of super special, extra geeky shop. Only one product there at the moment, but there are more to come. Link to this post!
20 Questions to a better relationship Link to this post! Many Trek fans are unhappy with Enterprise and the general state of the Star Trek franchise but Activision are going one better and suing Paramount over it. They say that Paramount’s neglect of Star Trek means they can’t sell games under the (rather expensive) exclusive licence they bought back in ’98 when DS9 and Voyager were still running. Link to this post! A rather lush Flash trailer for GTA: San Andreas is now online. Pre-order the game from Amazon. You know you want to. Link to this post! The argument against extreme weather as evidence of global warming is that we’ve had floods before. A fair enough point, but they are becoming more regular as the system heats up, and thousands of small pointers tell us the scientists are right. Link to this post! |
