Children’s TV presenter Floella Benjamin has taken her seat in the House of Lords as a Liberal Democrat peer. Her official title is Baroness Benjamin of Beckenham in Kent but she will go by the simpler Baroness or Lady Benjamin.
This will mean nothing to most of you, but for those it does…How COOL is this?! Will Humpty be next?! :D Rock on!

Songza: To Go Offline :( →

Once we take the Songza.org service down, you will still be able to sign in to your account and view your playlists (but not play them). We sincerely apologize for having to take it down and appreciate all your support over the past...

BBC News - Strathclyde Police feed delayed Ryanair... →
Police had to calm down air passengers stuck on the runway of Prestwick Airport by buying them water and chocolate. The 168 people on board the Ryanair flight bound for Girona, Spain, became agitated after a six-hour wait.
My kind of police, let’s arm them all with water and chocolate! :) Ah, Ryanair, you really do take the proverbial…
Ironic Sans: Idea: Put a dishwasher in the bedroom →
I don’t know if it’s true for every dishwasher, but mine makes the most soothing sounds. The humming machinery, revolving spray-arms, and trickling water combine to make a churning rhythm that must trigger some subconscious memory of being in the womb. All I know is that I’ve never had a dishwasher that was so relaxing.
I love this guy.

The fact of the matter is, RIL and IP are not deadlocked into a fully utilized market (for example like Firefox vs Chrome vs IE). The amount of people that have never heard of either of us is staggering and offers plenty of space for each of us to play in without getting in each others way. And as we both grow, every time someone hears about one of us, they are likely to hear about the other. So...
Blogger Buster: How to use Google's Font API with... →
Web fonts have become a popular web design trend over recent months. As I explained in a previous post, the @font-face technique can be problematic when applied to Blogger templates. But since Google have now released their font API, we’re able to display non-standard fonts in our Blogger templates with ease!
The Twitter Engineering Blog: A Perfect... →
Notice that unlike the Twitter Status blog which is hosted on Tumblr (hoorah!), this is on Blogger (boo). Does always make me wonder how people can say they’ve not heard of Tumblr.

Meet Leroy Stick, The Man Behind @BPGlobalPR →
I’ve read a bunch of articles and blogs about this whole situation by publicists and marketing folk wondering what BP should do to save their brand from @BPGlobalPR. First of all, who cares? Second of all, what kind of business are you in? I’m trashing a company that is literally trashing the ocean, and these idiots are trying to figure out how to protect that company? One pickledick...
