Some art from SharonSpotBottom. She has let the Vegemite get to her nut(s). Heh.

Excellent thoughts on why “citizen media” is so compelling.

This apparently, is the least interesting photo in my Flickr photostream.

This is a new categorisation system that the photo sharing website has put in place.

So, now you can look at a ranking of your photos in order of most commented, viewed, favourited and interesting. I think they calculate “interestingness” based on the the other elements.

Hmm… What surprised me most was that Sibsi, the Beautiful Cat, was only one up from that. Can’t be right.

Beautiful.

I think my camera is a dud. I can’t believe I am a dud photographer. Surely not.

I just can’t seem to take those great pictures.

Look at Dawn D’s for example. They are fantastic.

I met her at TED Global. She reminds me of Angelina Jolie and is a very very sharp and cool sustainable designer and thinker.

I love Family Guy. It is far cleverer that The Simpsons. Yes it is.

But what made me piss my pants this week was the Family Guy movie Stewie Griffin: The Untold Story.

It is utterly brilliant. Check it out if you can.

I had a face off with a gang of do-no-good-ers* who first spat at my back then hit me on the head with a plastic bottle when I spun round to shoot them my best Teacher Stare.**

Before I could sternly give them a good telling off to, a 12 year old girl in grey tracksuit came marching up and the following dialogue occurred:

Teen: What? What you you gonna do abaaaat it innit?
Me: I am going to go home, what YOU gonna do abaaat it?
Teen: What YOU gonna do about it! You can’t even protect yourself!
Me: How do YOU know? You don’t know what I do for a living do ya?
Teen: Well, if you were police, you would have arrested me by now innit?

With that, I walked off.

She was Catherine Tate personified.

I now fear for my life. Really.

*Read: little local wankers.
**I am not a teacher. I have however, the Teacher Stare genetically imprinted.

Lilly Cat,
originally uploaded by The Kitten’s Toe.

Her name is indeed Lilly. And she does indeed belong to the neighbours. Very nice neighbours they are too.

They had been away and had returned yesterday. They had just started to wonder where she had got to.

They were very nice and said she would find her way back next door once she realised they were back. Her mum cooks her special steaks and chicken and said she would not eat catfood. Oh yes she does.

She is 17. I knew she was a she, and that she was old. I just knew it: despite Mad Aussie Mate trying to convince me she was young and sick.

Pfftt…

I suppose she will go of her own accord, which will be sad. But at least she is only next door and she knows she is welcome now.

She is gorgeous. Very talkative.

Black Hair Doll 05,

Grixx on Flickr has a new doll. The Black Hair doll.

(S)he looks rather like some sort of accident morph of Michael Jackson and Johnny Depp. In Edward Scissor Hands.
