Mad Men Cacophony

The cast and crew drunkenly perform "By By Birdie", for reasons that don't any much sense if you never saw the episode, and make little sense even if you did.

You gotta love this country

Studies in Sweden on paternity show that 1-2% of children did not have the father they thought they did.

A similar study in Liverpool gave results of 30%.

On the one hand - MOAR RESEARCH NEEDED. On the other hand - LOL!

How should I vote?

Your recommendation: Green

And then there are my results on VoteForPolicies, which have me voting for Green 33%, Lib-Dem 33%, Con 22% and Lab 11%.

I have strong reservations about the Greens, largely because I'm pro-nuclear, and I view some of their policies as economically naive.

So that'll be me voting Lib-Dem at the next election!

More on politics

In Edinburgh East a vote is apparently worth 0.195 votes. Because it's a safe seat - Labour being 16% ahead of the Liberals. Still, last time round there was a 16.9% swing, so it's _possible_ it's just unlikely.

Check out how safe your seat is (if you're in the UK, that is. If you're in the USA then you have to sit this one out. You had all of your excitement a year ago...)

I'm fairly sure that the next scene does not go well

I love technology

What if we were invaded by Space Invaders? And Pac Man? And Donkey Kong? Gorgeous animation, that's what.

What if you combined multi-touch and pen input? Sheer coolness, that's what.

You're all a mass of geeks, right?

Here's a video which clearly shows the link between London and SF:

and is great fun to boot!
