    The release of Cho’s video all over the media is just another example of technology being used without proper restraint, not unlike the shooting itself. It’s a horrific violation of those suffering. In a previous post, and in the comments that followed, I was trying to probe a link between these killings and the spate…

    Just got back this afternoon from darkest Wales, where there was no internet, no mobile coverage, and virtually no radio reception either. Just a wonderful beach, and an old clap-board cottage.

    I just had to take a quick break from paternal matters to give a heads up to a truly amazing event. I doubt you’ll read this over at Emerging Chelski or ProtestScousers, but today Ryan Giggs makes his 700th appearance for Manchester United. He made his full debut – check this out – 16 years…

    I’ll add my congratulations to Helen Mirren for her Oscar win last night. I thought the film was fantastic, primarily because it exhibited ‘the miracle of restraint’. It would have been too easy to go for money shots of Princes William and Harry grieving their mother’s death. As it was, you never even saw their…
