- Life after Humph – "The show is such a fixture, such a massive part of the radio landscape, I think British radio would be the poorer without it so they made a great decision." Couldn't have said it better myself. Welcome back I'm Sorry I Haven't a Clue
- Iran election: state moves to end 'Facebook revolution' – At best this is very suspicious. And changes are we're not talking about a best case scenario here. Let's hope that those in power see sense.

- Scientists put psychic's paranormal claims to the test – If you can prove a paranormal claim under controlled conditions you can win $1mm. The prize has gone unclaimed since the 1960's.
- A Brief, Incomplete, and Mostly Wrong History of Programming Languages – "Bjarne Stroustrup bolts everything he's ever heard of onto C to create C++.
