  • The best bookshop in the world?

    Well, possibly. I certainly would like to compare it to some of my favourites.

  • More numbing dumbness

    Thanks to my Belgian correspondent Yves Buelens for alerting me to this. Incroyable, mon ami…

  • Genius, moi?

    I discovered the Blog Readability test via John Naughton, and had to do it of course. Gratifying, if baffling, to come out at Genius. Anyway, it means I can post a nice banner over there—-> showing a brain.

  • Prometeus – The Media Revolution

    All rather disturbing… I think it’s the confident way they talk about possible future events as if they have already happened.

  • Kindle: The Holy Grail for ebooks?

    Kindle: The Holy Grail or the last gasp of eBooks? : OUPblog This is a very interesting development, especially as it has the power of Amazon behind it. Carry something the size and weight of one book, but with 200+ books’ worth of reading onboard. It’s intriguing…Amazon has a demo here.

  • How to deal with cold callers…

    This seems like a good technique!

  • Procrastination…

    Cartoon by Dave Walker. Find more cartoons you can freely re-use on your blog at We Blog Cartoons.

  • I want one of these…

    I’ve always respected the pig as a very noble beast, but a bit unwieldy for the suburban house. These miniature ones are the answer. If you could epitomise cuteness in a picture, this would be a contender.

  • Amazing

    Another despatch from the department of the bleeding obvious. In other news: Pope confirms he is Catholic shock; Bears discovered defecating in woods horror.

  • Barking

    Saw this on John Naughton’s blog. I couldn’t possibly comment.
