Flickr: FlickrCentral discusses the rumours of an imminent buyout of the pioneering photo blogging/hosting/social networking thingy, by Yahoo!
Is this the end of lovable Ludicorp as it’s swallowed up by the big boys intent on bending it tpo their evil will, or is the Flickr brand strong enough alone for it to be allowed to live relatively unchanged. Either way Stuart etc, desrve all the money they can get for it for a job well done in pioneering so many different directions of image storage and sharing.
Is this new logo a bit of a joke though? Check out the .gif image’s name.

STAR WARS Episode 3 Picture Spoilers
I’m not sure even I want to see this page but it’s too much of a naughty one not to blog. This is a major plot and stills leak for the forthcoming finale to Star Wars Episode III. It’s very picture heavy and very slow loading and will tell you far more than you want to know about the new movie…but consider this temptation.

An astonishing an compelling read, this blog is the prison journal of British prisoner in America Shaun Attwood, who has been given a 10 year sentence for the “heinous” crime of organising raves.
In it he lifts the lid on inhumane conditions which almost rival those found in Thai jails in terms of their brutality and horrendous conditions.
The blog is entitled Jon’s Jail Journal, which was a pseudonym whilse he was being held in the jail awaiting sentence, though now there is a even a photo of him. This guy does not look a danger to society and seems to be yet another pointless victim in the war on drugs and raves.

Check out this 5.2 meg video of the language used to scare voters by the Republican party at their recent conference, chopped up it starkly brings home just how much these people rely on your fear, but constant repetitions like ‘terrorist’ ‘9/11′ and ‘Saddam Hussein’. Truly mesmerising stuff.

Ledgendary BBC weatherman Michael Fish makes his last broadcast today…his latterday fashions have far exceeded classics like the one pictured. He also stenuously denies that he ever told the nation that the UK was not in for a hurricane in 1987. He claims he was referring to Florida at the time…a Fishy tale if ever I heard one.
These days I can’t firgure out whether the long outer garments BBC weather men wear is supposed to be a posh lab coat or a full length winter coat. Is it supposed to represent the scientific aspect of meteorology or sympathise with the people who have to trudge along in the freezing rain the UK gets so regularly (hahaha)

This personal account of the protesting of the Republican National Convention on August 31st 2004 has convinced me that I never want to go back to what is fast becoming a fascist state.
They arrested 1000 people for little more reason than exercising this so-called freedom of speech they are supposed to have and kept them for days at a time.
Disgusting!

Janey Brainy SFB just sent me some piccies from her time in Songkhla….there’s one or two really unflattering ones in there somwhere, like the one which depicts me 5 seconds after throwing up at Thaphoon 2 our second party.
Good album!! Old Skool indeed!

The Reg is reporting that the British Government isn’t amused with a parody of it’s terrorism emergency plans. The Cabinet Office is reported to have told the author to take it down and not to trivialise the site. Enjoy whilst it’s still there.

Knight Rider car goes to auction
Not sure if it’s just me or does UKP32k seem fairly cheap for a car with as much potential kudos as KITT from Knight Rider. Surely this is every 80’s child’s dream and for less than the cost of a decent Merc…I know which one I’d pick. I wonder if it comes with Turbo Boost…
However if you can’t afford KITT why not just decorate your car with plastic fastfood toys like the car that this blogger spotted.
