Busy week:
Politics
Di Pietro
"As a member of the Italian parliament and former magistrate who ensured that many corrupt politicians and businessmen were brought to justice in the 1990s, I wish to apologise to the editor and staff of the Guardian newspaper for the utterly predictable reaction of prime minister Silvio Berlusconi and our foreign minister, Franco Frattini."

The Words

Tesla Coils
Yeah, that's cool. Nice version of the Dr Who theme with Tesla coils.
Animals
Today is a good day
Man gored to death as he participates in barbaric animal torture ritual.
Actually, it's not that good, only one of the morons died. Never mind, I'm with a bit of luck next time a few more parasites can be removed from the gene pool.

Nice Analogue Modelling Synth - free
The Tal-Elek7ro is a nice analogue sounding VSTi that you can download (click on the picture to go get). There are a load of user-made presets available too.

No..It's..Too..Cute..!

Louis C.K. - Awesome Possum
This man goes on a tangent worse than I do. Hysterically funny, and contains strong languge. No really, no shit.

Dr Universalis - "This Is Fu Manchu"
My mate Paul over in the UK, with a new video for a not so old track. The delights of analogue video mixing.

Tokyo Time Lapse
Lovely video shot in Tokyo, with some tasty and hypnotic techno to go with it.
Think of it as Akira meets "Koyanisqatsi".
Driving
You Need One
So, why didn't you think of combining a Fiat 500 with a tank? Because you're stupid, that's why. Me too. I just didn't realise it till I saw the video.
Current Affairs
Lets See How the Humans Fuck up This Week...
So, this week has seen some things that made my blood boil, and then some...
After having been bored shitless by Mr Bono and the rest of U2's preaching (however right on they might be, it all reeks slightly of hypocrisy), and lo and behold this week we discover that "Their CO2 emissions are the equivalent of the waste created by 6,500 average British or Irish people in an entire year, or equal to leaving a standard 100 watt lightbulb on for 159,000 years, and are much larger than the carbon footpring left by Madonna during her 2006 world tour when she produced 1,635 tonnes in air transport." WORSE than Madonna?!? Source.
And I still haven't forgotten Negativland...
Don't get me wrong though, Bono's preaching is based on the right ideas, something the people in power don't have, as they have demonstrated yet again: "Major Nations Drop Goal of Halving C02. Source.
This is all happening whilst the G8 meet up in a mutual congratulatory fuckfest in Italy, led by the Italian-pedo-stallion, berlusconi.
Sigh! I wonder if he's laid on the escorts and cocaine. Meanwhile, it has come to light that there is a letter dating back to well before berlusconi began his political career when the mafia made him an offer he couldn't refuse, in return for their help in getting into power. The media isn't talking about it though, well, he does own most of it.

Bags
The First of Many
I firmly believe that you can never have too many bags. No, I think I'll take that back, what I meant to say was, I firmly believe you'll never find the perfect bag, and in the meantime the best you can do is to have too many.
This Billingham bag is great, I love it, and it only costs £217 (and that's the discounted price).
I guess I'll be collecting more cheapo ones then. Now if I add together all I've spent on cheap bags, I might be able to buy one of these, or perhaps just 60% of one.
Sigh.
Anyway, The Billingham 207 Shoulder bag is available in a choice of two colours, Khaki with Chocolate leather or Black with Black leather. The material they use is FibreNyte canvas, a 21st century synthetic alternative for traditional canvas which allows us to make our bags tougher and lighter. Strong and lightweight, it retains the look of traditional canvas, whilst providing much improved abrasion resistance and suppleness. In addition, its waterproofing performance is greatly enhanced because it is bonded to a polyester lining using Billingham StormBlock butyl rubber. Dimensions External Width : 320 Depth : 180 Height : 260 Internal Width : 290 Depth : 150 Height : 220.

Cloaks are Cool
Stylish, and unfortunately too expensive, Belstaff cloaks are rather nice, and cloaks should make a comeback.
