Starry, Starry Night by the Strobist.

I had to share this great photo of the sky at night.

Being blind as a bat, I look up at the night sky and try to imagin what folks with better eyes can see.

Then I realise, it's not me at all, its because I live in light polluted England.

Now this picture was taken at 8000 ft above sea level in Colorado, 20 miles from the nearest city (you can see the Orange light pollution on the bottom left).

I'd like this image blown up to 16x7 foot and have it cover my office wall.

Love it, bloody love it.

WARNING: The Truth about Stage Hypnosis by Chris Doc Strange

This morning I was using Google to search my own name and see what people are saying about me. The answer was nothing, as usual.

So I thought I would do a quick search for Comedy Hypnotist and see what comes up.

I followed a few links, looked at a couple of hypnotists websites which are very nice and make me slightly envious, only slightly.

Then I read a page that pissed me right off about certain hypnotists being better than others because of reasons I don't agree with.

So I have added a little page to my site that says what I think about all that and the nonsense it encourages.

Honestly, some people think its a good way to get bookings by slagging off the competition. It's not you know, it's pathetic, childish and if needs be, I can do it much better.

I won't though, I am above all that. I am stood on a box.

Read it and see what you think

I lost my iPhone Today, then found it again. Phew.

I'm very relieved to have found my phone after running around like a man possessed trying to find it.

I got a great case to protect it and since having this case I have dropped the phone 5 times. Before having the case I hadn't dropped it once. So its a good thing the Otterbox Defender really does protect the iPhone from drops, dirt and mishaps.

Though it does'nt help that I got the Black case (read that as "Invisible to a Blint Twat like me") and couldn't see where I had dropped it. The belt clip seemed a good idea at first, its not as grippy as I would have liked, everytime its been dropped, its becase its fallen out of the holder. Yes, it was facing the right way, screen to hip. Anyway, I had no idea where it was. I called the phone but it was out of reach.

Was it at the school, on the road, in the class room, under the seat of my car, god where is it?

Thinking that some evil wizzzkid was at that moment hacking it to my trusty 3GS and finding pictures of my dick and other such blackmail material.

Luckly I found the phone under a bunch of flowers and the pictures were safe, if not purely imaginary.

Though they could have been real, but if I ever want to see the little feller, I only.. Well, I don't need a picture put it that way. I'm not that fat.
When I get so big I can't see it, I'll rely on memory as it what it looks like, god help me.

Mmm, maybe I should take some pictures of it, for the future, just in case..

If only the iPhone 3GS had a decent camera...

And a Macro Lens.

Nestlé Killer - Give the orang-utan a break | Greenpeace UK

Nestlé don't want you to see the video above, because they complained to Youtube that we were infringing their copyright. Youtube removed the video but now we'd like to offer it to you, as a gift. Download the video and put it on your favourite video sharing site. The more people who join in, the more interesting we'll make it for Nestlé.

And we all like a break, so it's time to give orang-utans one. Nestlé uses palm oil in Kit Kat and many other products which is bought from suppliers that destroy rainforests in Indonesia to grow their plantations.

As a result, threatened species like orangutans are being pushed into extinction and huge quantities of greenhouse gases are being released, accelerating climate change.

Nestlé have so far refused to stop buying palm oil from the worst suppliers, so it's time to make them change their minds.

Write to CEO Paul Bulcke to demand they act responsibly and cease trading with companies that are destroying Indonesia's rainforests.

Doc Won Cheese at Bristwestival & heres his Taste test.

Check out this video on YouTube:

I just showed this video to my wife because she wanted to know why I'd swapped the cheese with my mate from Oz.

I've not seen Jane laugh like that at any of my other videos. I'm not sure what she finds so funny.

GlowGadgets Led Lenser L7 - £19.95

Led Lenser L7 High Power LED Lightweight Torch

What can I say, the Led Lenser L7 is a cheap, plastic version of the Amazing P7. It's probably been made with the cheapskate in mind as it does very much a similar job as the P7 on output, with only High Power.

There is no low power and the focus is changed by twisting (al la Police Tech Focus).

The output is really very good and as the torch is lightweight I keep one in my Response pack for emergencies.

It's a nice torch, just, well, plastic.

* 650ft beam range
* High Intensity CREE LED Light Chip
* Maximum intensity - 100 Lumens
* Polycarbonate casing
* Rear Tail Cap Switch
* Spot to flood focus simply by twisting the head of the torch

Burn Time Up to 85 hours Dimensions 145x34mm Weight XXX Power Supply 2 x AAA Batteries ED C-LED Length 130mm Weight 140g Lumens 110 Batteries 3x AA Beam distance 200m Burning time 40h Switch On/Off Item no. ZL7008

Great to see so many friends last night, i couldn't get away from the Ruskin, everytime I tried, the pulled me back in.

Hello to everyone, thanks for making me so welcome , again.
