• Wordpress for iPhone - It turns out that my recent review of WordPress for iPhone was the four-hundredth post on ZX81.org.uk. Time for a small celebration!
• Font Conference - Typeface adventures…
• Simon Pegg's Geek Roots Show in Spaced - I'm no longer a twenty-something, but I still love Spaced. Now available in the US.

Why, you might ask, is a ride on a large ferris wheel called a “Flight“? Your guess is as good as mine but I think it might have something to do with the London Eye’s original sponsor, British Airways. Whatever the reason, I thought this image made a good candidate for this weeks PhotoFriday. It was taken on my second “flight,” the first being a couple of years earlier.

• French version of The Apprentice 'not allowed to fire contestants' - Against my better judgement I got quite into this years (UK) Apprentice. The French version sounds even more entertaining…
• No ID Card Function Creep? Pull the Other One - "Now, tell me again why we should trust the UK government over ID cards?"
• Burma cyclone: Regime turns back US aid ships - The Burmese military junta puts their own position above the lives of over two million people. Sick.

• US imposes 72 hour pre-reg for Visa waiver travellers - And this is going to help how?!
• ID Cards: Scandalous as Well as Idiotic - More on ID cards and the lengths that the government is going to in order to make sure that we all get them, like it or not. Very sneaky.
• Want to buy Jacqui Smith's ID? - "Four people have been arrested after the BBC bought a driving licence and utility bills in the name of Home Secretary Jacqui Smith." Yet the government insists that this is a good reason for having a national ID card? They still don't understand…

With my camera still primed and ready after my weekend PhotoFriday activity, I just had to take a few shots of this rainbow as seen from our flat. Rainbows are pretty much the only up-side I can see of the nasty weather we’ve been having for most of the last couple of weeks!

I’ve not gone out and taken pictures specifically for PhotoFriday for a while, but this week I made an exception. This weeks theme is “Electricity” which is kind of tricky to photograph directly so I did the next best thing which is a British electric pylon.
