You should pop across to his Sleep Dep blog and the funny, weird rhythms of his Joe Korea story (starts here). And [...]

Here are some wired/tired linky for your wired/tired Friday. Awesome life-size dinosaur puppets. Password Card – remember more secure passwords. A secret station on the London Underground, three [...]
Tagged fridaylinkyStill busy, as you can tell from posting frequency. Still, some linky for a rainy Wellington Friday.

More my speed: the not-your-regular-critics insight of What do young women really talk about when they talk about The Twilight Saga: Eclipse? Fuhgeddabout the Broadway Julie [...]
Tagged fridaylinkyEveryone was either too polite or too stunned to comment on the fact that I went to see Titanic twice on the big screen. Or perhaps you assumed I was coerced or sedated at the time.
