Almost there - Statcounter indicates I'm at 999 hits this morning ;-)

I'm a big Sandman / American Gods fan so this movie should be pretty good - Mirrormask.

This looks fascinating - Tactical Numerical Deterministic Model - as they say its a shame it doesn't allow for non-traditional warfare. I guess until the American public wake up to the fact that Iraq was a mistake/waste of time/tragedy then Iraq will continue to be the next proving ground for next-generation warfare (cf Vietnam in the 60's and 70's and Afghanistan in the 80's and any number of 'police actions' in the 90's).

Interesting (for once) Slashdot thread on Old Geezers vs Young Bloods. Only because I fall into the (almost) Old Geezer category. The generation prior to mine came up with most of the tech we use and take for granted today - we have a vague idea how it all works - the generation after me seems to take it all for granted which is cool in that they have no preconceptions or learning-curve for new-technology. However there is the sneaking suspicion that they have no idea how it works (and/or have no willingness to learn either). Then again maybe its just Old-Geezer-itis like the old Monty Python Sketch. In my day we had to make do with Sinclair ZX80's and tape drives (if we were lucky!) and 1Kb of RAM :-)

Richard Dawkins on the new Opiate of the masses.

A disgustingly cool (and hidiously expensive) turntable - Brinkmann. Amusingly the reviewer expounds upon the fantastic sound coming from his Madonna LP on this thing which kind of immediately kills any respect one might have had for his opinion ;-)
