Heath Ledger Death: Baptist Group To Protest At Memorial - Yahoo! News UK

No matter how anyone dies its a tragedy for family and friends, when its a talented and well respected person like Heath Ledger its a greater tragedy. This is a guy that only brought himself to the screen and was a brilliant actor because he knew himself, which is why the ignorant hate monger's discussed in the following article make me sick to my gut.

xkcd - A month for the rationalist in comic land...

We now interrupt your interruption to our regular programming to bring you this breaking comic...

Hopefully by now you've found "xkcd" before this, but in-case you haven't: xkcd describes itself as "A webcomic of romance, sarcasm, math, and language" Or to put in in shorter terms - its a geek comic.

Misspent Youth

I recently had occasion to revisit "Misspent Youth " by Peter. F. Hamilton. Why? Well because certain characters reappear in Peter Hamilton's new book "The Dreaming Void" and because I appear to have a mind like a sieve when it comes to fictional characters. Either that or I read it so long ago it's gone out of my short term storage...

If you're a fan of the Commonwealth Series then I can highly recommend this new book which picks up 1500 years after Judas Unchained. I should mention that I'm only about half way through TDV so I may not like it by the end - but I consider that to be highly unlikely at this point.

As you can imagine a lot happens in the 1500 years so Peter Hamilton has kindly provided a timeline to fill in the gap. So, rush out and grab your copy or follow this link to "The Dreaming Void" and make me a few cents richer - either way if you've read the previous Commonwealth books you'll want to read this one.

Broadband is over the horizon...

The fact that if we had lived a block North, South or West of our current location we could have had it nearly 2 years ago is a subject best left alone - at least from the point of view of my blood pressure and other associated stress indicators.

Digital camera's suck/So, I tried to get my panorama printed...

Auctions are dangerous things...

Its hard to explain - you go into an auction with a plan (and if you don't have a plan you're an idiot) that allows for not reaching your reserve, not selling at all or making a killing on the booming property market :) Whatever happens you feel comfortable with the paths you (and your partner) have chosen - and you feel calm right up until that point where you see people arriving for the actual auction.
