Sob. @revdancatt is off home. SF’s loss is Britain’s gain: but if one of you doesn’t offer him a great job, I shall poke you in the eyes.

Just read this @googlenews: “US Officials Offer New Name for Swine Flu - FOXNews”. Hey, I hate Fox too, but that seems a bit much.
Thanks Qwitter. 150 simultaneous emails telling me that people have quit following me, but covering god-knows-how-long in time. Rubbish!
Cripes, that was hard work.
Anyone know why Arrington has such a problem with Owen Van Natta? Definitely something odd there… just got friends at Project Playlist?
Rolling eyes at Phorm’s latest nonsense. Ppl have to stop falling into the trap of thinking the controversy is about targeted ads, it isn’t.
webcast timeout irritation
Hello! May I recommend a particularly fine podcast? Tech Weekly, feat Susan Greenfield, iPhone apps and me, in my pants. http://bit.ly/ExtM7
Is there a “buggy whip rule” on the internets? I want to maim anyone who uses it as an analogy for something outmoded. Lazy, smirking dolts.
My thoughts on why MySpace needs to look to the past if it wants to ensure it has a future. http://bit.ly/6exzK
Just got off the phone with the pod people @guardiantw. Only ran 100% over our always-optimistic time limit today!

Foggy memories of @ph’s party: limey grog, Doctor Who, Hulk-like feats of strength, impromptu fistfights, sausage failure… and your mum.
I never thought I’d be happy to see Spurs winning, but I’ve got my fingers crossed for them this time. That was never a penalty.

But hey, I just got delivery of awfully nice-sounding beer, so I’m sure I can find a way to escape the torrid hell of Graun/Torygraph wars.
Bemused by internecine hack wars now being played out between colleagues/rivals in LDN.
no titting mojo.
Too hot in here. Can’t think. Can’t write. Can’t move. If I ever become a novelist, might consider writerly retreat in arctic circle.
Good grief. @guardiantech has now broken 400,000 followers. I should get a bumper sticker that says “My other Twitter account is a Porsche”.
After seeing the totally utterly brilliantly stupid Crank 2, I believe I may never need to see another movie ever again.
Bohemian Rhapsody played out on vintage tech - the winningest bit comes in at 3’ 06” http://bit.ly/VVAfN (via @waxpancake)
Amused that I quoted the phrase “sodomise yourself with retractable batons” and got it onto page 3 of Saturday’s Guardian.
++ evening with P&A and extensive booze. Embracing my destiny: a life enjoying not being #outpartying and #tellingtwitteraboutit.
Finished my morning’s work at the same time as the ref blew the final whistle in Chelsea’s 2-1 win over the Arse. Good way to start the day.
