Looks like George Bush has been busy on TV! This video clearly shows him wiping his glasses on someone elses jumper on the Letterman Show! Is this real? Can it be real? I hope he asked first! 🙂

Taking Risks, What Rules?
Andy Williams’ latest post to the STF has some great suggestions. Basically, throw out the rule book and experiment!
If you’ve a digital camera, why take only one photo when five will do?
On my way into town the other night I saw this beautiful sunset in the rear view mirror. What did I do? Pull into the side of the road and take a few snaps!
Getting Married?
If you’re getting married soon then you’ll need a wedding dress won’t you?
STF: Panoramic Photos, and Street Photography
Two interesting threads on the STF today on panoramic photography and street photography, or shooting strangers. As usual Andy Williams posted an excellent summary of his own thoughts on candid photography.
Rekall, aka MS Access for Linux
I found a short review of Rekall via Linux Today this morning.
It has aspirations to be the MS Access of the Linux (and I suppose Free Software) world and while I’ve never used Access this little program looks impressive! The community supported RekallRevealed website has lots more, including screenshots and FAQs.
Opening URLs in Moz Firefox
Does anyone else have problems sending commands to a running instance of Mozilla Firefox?
I want Thunderbird to open links in new Firefox tabs but the following command fails:
$ mozilla -remote "openurl(http://www.mozilla.org, new-tab)"
Failed to send command.
$
If I don’t include a URL then a dialog pops up asking for one but that’s hardly what I want to happen. Google hasn’t been too helpful, but maybe someone reading this has come across this already!
The King Of Hearts – Live This Weekend!
Hear Ye! Hear Ye! The The King Of Hearts are going to be mighty busy this weekend playing gigs all over Cork and Kerry! Owen has more details but they’ll be appearing in the Coal Quay Bar on Sunday night where much drink will be consumed and a good night will be had by all! Be there or be.. oddly rectangular shaped.

Click on the last two images to see larger versions! The original cropped images are over 3 times bigger! You wouldn’t want to be squemish about wasps and bees to look at them!
Shaun of the Dead – mini review
Myself and Mel went to see Shaun of the Dead last night. What a blast! hehe. It’s a completely off the wall zombie movie, and much better than 28 Days later (OK, I’m possibly in the small minority who thinks that movie was crap!)
I absoluately loved the jokes and the dark humour! Early in the film, we burst out laughing as the two main characters, Shaun and Ed, bashed in the heads and mutilated 2 zombies that were in their back garden! I don’t remember hearing anyone else laugh (the rest of the audience was possibly shocked!) but it didn’t take them long to realise this was a spoof horror taking the mickey out of the genre!
There’s the small touches, like the supermarket-clerk zombie with her name tag on (Mary?), or the groom from the shop who’s lost an arm, or the zombie-boy who still kicks the ball..
And I love the ending. 🙂
Go see it, it’s a good ‘un!
