Ah, back to work



Labour day weekend came and went, too quickly for my liking. Then again, I did spend most of yesterday roasting with Elle in the MX-5 sans air-conditioning, burning under the southern sky. We had been in Chattanooga, meeting her family, eating Filipino food, listening to big bands at Coolidge Park and looking round the Aquarium. Ah, and we also bought Mr CPD some more biscuits. These will be posted this weekend, honest.

I got in touch with Boblbee in Las Vegas today - after 4 years the shell is starting to crack in places, and I wanted to see if it was still under warrantee. Well, it turns out it isn't, but for $45 plus shipping they'll send me a new shell. I was right in remembering that mine was originally called People's Burden, not Megalopolis. Mentioning this, I was told I was a pioneer in the world of Boblbees. I guess so. I'll get round to ordering a new shell in a couple of weeks I guess - email me with colour suggestions. I'm leaning towards matt black.

Finally, a couple of links for you:

Flogging the Simian is a great newsblog - he seems to be doing most of the work looking into the strange case of Jack Idema, plus other stories no one seems to cover.

Also, Dave linked me to this page about censored news stories.

FInally, a quick apology to Elle - I waited outside for you from 12.30-12.40, had to finish an experiment upstairs, came back down at 12.50 and waited for another 10 minutes, and then again at 1.15. I hope it all went well.
