Where fear is present, wisdom cannot be
Aug. 10th, 2006 11:17 amBut unlike most rather than thinking this is a great thing, it just reminded me what a doubleplusungood state of affairs we're in at the moment.
Check out this part of the report from the BBC website (as of 11:25):
"BBC home affairs correspondent Andy Tighe said police sources had told him they had found "interesting items" which were being examined.
He said police acted when "something happened".
"Some kind of development that they felt if they held off any longer it could be detremental to public safety."
I feel SO much better now that 'something happened', there was 'some kind of development' and now those tantalisingly vague 'interesting items' are now being examined. I can sleep safer in my bed knowing exactly fuck all of what's going on, and that they don't even know if there are 'sub-plots' or not. Even though apparently they've been tracking these people for months (woo! great intelligence!):
"Police have arrested about 18 people in the London area after an anti-terrorist operation lasting several months."
I know, I know - it's all for my security and it's State of Emergency. Uhuh. Where have I heard that before?
"Go back to sleep, Great Britain. Your government has figured out how it all transpired. Go back to bed, Britain. Your government is in control again. Here. Here's Love Island. Watch this, shut up. Go back to bed, Britain. Here is Big Brother. Here is 56 channels of it! Watch these pituitary retards bang their fucking skulls together and congratulate you on living in the land of freedom. Here you go, Britain! You are free to do what we tell you! You are free to do what we tell you!"

Reminds me more of the Fighting Fantasy books, actually.
Sample:
"You are in a half-collapsed tunnel. Crude images of song are daubed on the walls.
You quaff the potion marked '50 POUND NOTE'. It tastes like music." and
"You are in a narrow fissure. A wooden sign warns of eclectic."
"You find yourself in a cobwebbed armoury. You notice a small shrine to bears.
You quaff the potion marked 'PODCASTING'. It tastes like men."
And I really wish there WAS a Sceptre of Mashups...and the Axe of QXbear
I died in the Dungeon of Timbearcub
I was killed in a foul-smelling alcove by the wrath of Fuzzyjay, whilst carrying...
the Shield of Airbearma, the Sceptre of Mashups, the Dagger of Viridescence, the Shield of Jeffnuma, the Amulet of Arthole and 40 gold pieces.
Score: 45

Glad it's 5:30pm
Aug. 10th, 2006 05:03 pmI wonder how long they build Pandora / Music Genome Project technology into your iPod? I think that's one for the inevitable iPod WiFi; but a good idea.
Just imagine having a button saying 'Just like this' and it goes and finds music like the one playing, or your mood (I know companies are working on the latter).
