I know I've linked to this petition already, but it really is important. If you haven't signed it yet, please go do it now.

Also very important: IPSWICH RECLAIM THE NIGHT DEMO. Please pass this one on.

Wikipedia requested pictures list. I'm sure some of you somewhere must have a picture of a City Farm?

Snail Shell System is yet another one-person living pod. From the same people we also have LAND - whereby owners of land can make their land available for any person to use. I think I'd want to know a little more of the fine print of this to really know what's involved, but it sounds like a bloody good idea.

Green Fortune make a StreamGarden which is your run-of-the-mill yuppie hydroponics system, but also a PlantWall, which you can only look at by clicking the annoying flash link. I want a PlantWall. The only problem would be finding wallspace for it that isn't occupied by books. Stairwells and bathrooms might be good places for them in private homes, though.

If you have old thumbdrives gathering dust you can donate them to schools and other projects in developing countries.

Spokeo appears to be a device that, um, aggregates your aggregated wossnames. So you can have LJ and Myspace and Xanga and all your RSS feeds and a dozen or so other regular-entry things, all stuck on one page. I see they don't have Vox there.

If you have time you could grow your own furniture. I quite like the concept, if perhaps not the particular examples shown. Of course, people have been making living willow furniture for some time, but you don't tend to be able to pick that up and move it around so much.

Chainless shaft drive bicycle. What it says.
I am very much liking the whole "Dashboard widgets" thing.

I currently have:
Sunlit Earth (shows map of world, some lit and some not)
Optical Illusion of the Day
Live Travel Info for Tube
National Rail live departures widget
Two different weather forecast widgets
A mirror
A calculator
VelaClock

I'm sure I'll add and remove widgets as I settle into the new machine.

This is extremely useful, and I didn't even know about it when I decided to get a Mac.
Heading to the Pembury to visit with people and eat fine food. Yeah, I know, half of you are at the Dev, but it is dingy and smoky and noisy and doesn't have either beautiful food or free wi-fi, so I can't be bothered. Doubly so because I've got the Geek Scrapheap Challenge tomorrow, and still a bit of a sore throat today.

Do give me a shout if you're planning to turn up.
