There’s something about winter. I hate the season, it’s far too cold to be a useful period of the year. But it does create some wonderful imagery. Here are 8 such photos.
Save Christmas from the God-awful, snorefest that is the X Factor. Last.fm, my favourite music based social network [my profile page], are behind a campaign to stop anything that’s rubbish getting to the Christmas number one.

Names are an interesting thing. You have no choice in them whatsoever and, in the majority of cases, you have to put up with them for your whole life. Recently, in a fit of reading that is rare at the best of times, I completed a book called “Potty, Fartwell & Knob – Extraordinary But […]

It seems their plan wasn’t quite as fool proof as they had wished… A campaign by Lycos Europe to target spam-related websites appears to have been put on hold.
