Snowy Brighton Morning

along with much of the UK we woke up to snow this morning, and apart from 1 inch of snow causing chaos on the roads / railways etc as we seemingly can not deal with it in this country … it made things look quite pretty.

So instead of spending 45 mins on my turbo trainer (its a bike thing) this morning i took a walk down to the beach …

seems like i was not alone in my thoughts and Town and to a lesser extent the beach was filled with people taking photos and wanting (I am sure) to upload them to thier photo sharing website of choice

I have been a member of last.fm for a while now, played a load of music, mostly on the (not so) random play provided by my i-Tunes.

I am comfortable with most of the bands in the top 10 but i am not sure that Embrace and Goldfrap deserve their postition! but i am at the behest of the random play feature.

for completeness some other stats:

No Wonder

interesting article on boingboing today from Xeni on a translator for US forces, sort of reminds me of all sorts of sci-fi stuff and I love the function – ‘there is no pork in this food’ – is it really necessary ?

however the crunch comes a little later in the article when the president of the company that makes the translator says -:

This removes pulling the trigger as the first option in dealing with foreign nationals

this is astounding, surely pulling the trigger should be way down the list of options when dealing with foreign nationals ?

I do not think i need to say any more!
