Whistle blows at West Ham
"Plc under fire from disillusioned shareholders with a blueprint to protect the club from poachers"
This looks like a genuinely serious attempt wrestle control of West Ham from the current board. Interesting to see "fans" actually tackling the board via corporate means...
More coverage over at KUMB
Modeling the Internet.
"This project was created to make a visual representation of a space that is very much one-dimensional, a metaphysical universe".
This fantastic image (quite large) looks rather like a map of a galaxy to me...

Slashdot on Ways to Beat the Telecommuting Blues
Some interesting commentary on the pros and cons of telecommuting. I have worked from home for the last year or so, in my current job, and before that various other roles at Oracle enabled me to work from home.

The Guardian - Why I love Balamory
Funny piece on Balamory, the greatest kids show on TV !
I actually love this show... it shares many of the best characteristics from the seminal 60's trilogy (holy trinity ?) of Camberwick Green/Trumpton/Chigley, with characters identified by their own individual songs and occupations.
Charlie loves balamory (or "More More" as he calls it) too, which is good, as I sometimes let him watch it with me.
