We were all over them yesterday!

Michael Moore Live
Just got back from The Roundhouse in Camden where I saw Michael Moore Live. I know that I seem to be harping on about Michael Moore quite a lot at the moment, but you just can’t escape from the man right now. Bowling for Columbine opened properly this weekend, his book Stupid White Men is…

Dirrty
Well the jury’s still out. Is the video on the Christina Aguilera CD single any different to the one that’s on constant rotation on all the music channels on TV. We don’t think so.

Sainsburys
Another example of a promotion going well? Should have known better really. Sainsburys currently have a 2 DVDs for �25 in the top 40. Well did the Winchmore Hill branch have anything more than a random handful of discs to choose from? Absolutely not.

Firewire Problems
I’m still suffering from unresolved firewire “issues”. I can capture happily from my camera but can’t record back to it. I don’t know if there’s a problem with the camera, my computer or just the cable. Some experimenting at work tomorrow (or later today) is in order.

Firemen’s Strike
I’m not too sure what to think about the firemen’s strike that we’re enduring just now. On the one hand, I certainly wouldn’t want to endure a fire just now – but then I never would. And it has certainly caused me some inconvenience today, with the tube operating a far more restricted service than…

Small site changes
Some ever so slight changes to the site today, because I’m very proud, that I’ve finally gotten around to learning a little bit about style sheets. You see, those nice people at Movabletype run the whole system from them, which makes it hard for a complete novice like me to adapt the site to suit…

Siring
Just a quick word of thanks to the correspondent on the Fi Glover programme on Radio Five who, on the occassion of the retirement to stud of Fergie’s horse Rock of Gibralter, explained so completely the stud process the horse will now face. With perhaps 100 matings a year, and talk of “teasers” for the…

Mobiles
Today’s Guardian handed over it’s second section totally to the phenomomenom that is the mobile phone. Full of fascinating facts about the number of mobile phones overtaking landlines internationally, that one person in six on the planet has one and that the British do a lot of texting (oh – you knew that). But can…

All or Nothing
There’s nothing like a successful promotion is there? Last Thursday’s Evening Standard had a free cinema token in it that gave readers a free ticket to any screening this evening at any Odeon cinema. I dutifully felt I had to take up the offer. I perused their website and chose Talk to Her, the most…

Microsoft Monopolies
Good piece by John Naughton in this week’s Observer about how the break up of Microsoft never happened, and the Department of Justice’s wimping out.

Bowling for Columbine
Finally I got to see this at the London Film Festival screening this evening, and it’s fantastic. Of course I managed to show up without my tickets. I was convinced that I had left them at work, but of course I brought them back with me on Friday night, and had left them in my…
