You know, I think I might just take the risk and run my laptop off its exploding battery. It seems like a convenient and simple way to dance with the devil.

Assuming I live, I might need to block some timewasting web sites. Although any solution based on user willpower is almost inevitably doomed to fail.

Tech links:

Continuing the Apple theme, The story of the first Apple Duo.

Hints for using the OSX firewall.
The 15 most important websites - a mildly contentious list primarily for its failure to include wesleywillis.com.
The Shiira browser promises a revolutionary approach to the browser that is essentially indistinguishable from Firefox. The sidebar is a nice tool, but it looks like all the really shiny stuff is coming out in version 2.1, as is traditional, and I don't really have time to wrestle the alpha. As I believe Satan once said.

From our hell in a handbasket department: Ruth Kelly doesn't feel that Muslims are doing enough to combat fanaticism. That a woman who as far as I know has ducked every vote on the homosexual age of consent put before Parliament, is Minister for Equality is already suggestive Blair is now playing it for laughs.

Disney stands by Mel Gibson. Can't wait to see the next Mickey Mouse cartoon. Given that they were standing by him to help him distribute an epic in Mayan (how many fundamentalists are going to be prepared to sit through that, eh?), they seem to have missed a golden opportunity to sidle off here.

Depeche Mode to provide the soundtrack to Mel Gibson's next film after that - a harrowing tale of genocide in suburbia, written and acted entirely in the original Simlish.
