This is what hip hop would have been like in the late-Victorian era. Or you could think of it as the rap equivalent of Abney Park. Whatever you call it, this is unique.

Do you get email like this in your workplace?
I received this about half an hour ago:
To All Staff
Please note at about 4.30 this afternoon a group of students will be conducting an experiment in the [Redacted] Lab. This experiment will involve the use of a shock tube that will use air to break the sound barrier.
It should sound like a large explosion. There is nothing to worry about. We will have it under control and as far as I am aware will only happen once.
Cheers
[Redacted]
Awesome.

Note to subscribers
I’m in the process of updating my blog to WordPress. This is not a trivial task because of the custom plugins that I used to have for Movable Type.
It’s going to take a few days, so expect weirdness in the RSS feed while this happens.

The biggest religious group in the English-speaking world
I came across this opinion piece excerpted from Richard Dawkins’ latest book, The God Delusion. It’s a good piece, however there’s one niggle that I have.

Is this a funny title for a blog entry?
The blog formally known as “Andrew’s Thingy”, which my wife thoughtfully put in, is now getting a more permanent name, as I start to use it more. It is known as “The BWAIN”. Why? Because this is a Blog Without An Interesting Name.
The scariest thing about this, though, is that all of the good titles I could think of are meta-jokes of one form or another.

Reads, links and blogs
Lynne Truss, possibly my favourite Grumpy Old Woman, finally has her own site.
For those who haven’t had the pleasure, Lynne is on a vendetta. Well, several, actually. In Eats, Shoots & Leaves, it’s bad punctuation. But it’s not because she’s a snob. It goes much deeper than that…

Hello World
Every blog must have a first post. This is blog is no exception.
The traditional first post is to talk about what the blog will be about. The list is always of the form: X, Y, Z and whatever takes the author’s fancy. Let’s not kid ourselves: number four is the most likely.
I have no pretense that this blog will be widely read, or even read at all except by a few close friends.
I have no pretense that this blog will change the world in any meaningful way.
I have no pretense that anyone in the world wants to hear my opinion on anything.
But you don’t talk to a teddy bear because you expect the teddy bear to listen. You do it because the act of talking is cathartic.
Welcome to my blog, teddy bears!
