2006 — Day 26 - a footnote in history
My brain is wired in such a way that I like footnotes.1 But, come the revolution2 and I reveal my first month's archive, I may let you into a little secret... By the way, happy 57th birthday Garry Shandling. (Who he? Think, the comic genius behind the Larry Sanders Show. Mind you, despite satirising the tired formula of the real thing to death in the mid 1990s I note the format continues.) And today we got the £200 winter fuel payment from our generous government. Cool!
Shameless plugs department
Michael Frayn's new book The Human Touch is probably going to take me offline for a while. It looks like a romp. But then, so does Paul Chadwick's latest (?) Concrete compilation The Human dilemma which arrived in the same parcel a couple of evenings ago. For anyone who doesn't know him, Concrete is the chap on the right!
Interestingly <sigh>, perusing the Concrete blog and the adjacent Google hits prior to my finding it has just cost me a lump of cash for Andy Clarke's (another Concrete fan) newly-published Transcending CSS: The Fine Art of Web Design and, of course, while I was examining my shopping basket, I decided to go for the Tales of mirth and woe from the amusing guy (Alistair Coleman) who writes the scaryduck blog.
