OMG, WTF, Pete Doherty’s the new ‘poster boy’ for Scientology!?
The Babyshambles rocker is reading up on the bizarre sci-fi cult - of which Hollywood stars Tom Cruise and John Travolta are devout followers - because his lover DJ Nadine Ruddy is a believer in the religion.
A source told Britain’s The Sun newspaper: “Nadine is [...]

Shocking!  Hate blog, Canadiancynic.blogspot.com is mid way through their day of civility, and much to my surprise, they actually put up a legitimately good post:
At this juncture, the country is best left as it is. The Conservative Party of Canada is in a de facto majority position, as they are operating unopposed. The Liberals are [...]

From 1860 - gosh I love these things. The world’s oldest audio recording has been found. Click the arrow to listen:

The 10-second recording of a singer crooning the folk song “Au Clair de la Lune” was discovered earlier this month in an archive in Paris by a group of American audio historians. It [...]

I have to make this a habit.  I get these things on a regular basis.
This is from a green fan (notice the small ‘g’) named Blake from Cambridge in the UK.  It was in response to my post on the death of Greenpeace founder Lyle Thurston:

Just a very juvenile FYI - the CHRC has a lot of ‘awesome’ materials on their site. Diversity DVD’s, Postcards and Bookmarks. All free of charge to Canadians. The order form is here - the materials in section 3 are definitely free - I don’t know about the others.
[Note: This post has [...]

Photoshop Express is Adobe’s free webapp version of Photoshop [click picture for larger image - fyi, made in Photoshop CS3].  Being a webapp, means that you use it from a browser, and there is no program to download - other than flash player 9 that is.
So, first off, I can’t get it to work in [...]

The Green Party`s post on Earth Hour is a bit creepy:
I just had a last minute thought re tonight’s Earth Hour event.
Between 8 and 9 tonight, I’ll be doing what I usually do at that time:I’ll be out with my wife walking our two dogs 5km around our small town.
Tonight, however, I’ll be looking at [...]

What better metaphor is there - liberals sitting in the dark, feeling smug? This evening at 8pm is Earth Hour. Earth hour was created by the Envirogroup WWF:
Earth Hour is a global lights-out phenomenon that will bring together people from all over the world to show their support for action on climate [...]

[scroll down for the film]
