The plan is for a place in that right-hand bar which will show the ten most recent stories on any of a selection of sites. The situation is a place in that right-hand bar which shows links to the ten most recent entries on the delicatessen blog. One will become the other very soon.

In other news, it has come to my attention that people have been taking issue with what I write here and not posting a comment about it. There’s a pretty easy way to rectify that. To clarify, Reading does indeed have two multiplexes and a campus ‘film theatre’. But exposure to that sort of cinema availability pushed my requirements for ‘decent cinema’ still higher. Perhaps I should admit right now that having a decent cinema really just meant having a cinema that shows the films I want to see, when I want to see them. Confession over, I’m going to look at cinema tickets online.

What exactly is wrong with trying to source an antidote to nerve gas?

As can be seen from the note at the top of this blog and the general lack of updates, time is in short supply. Partly as a result and partly because I like to get information out, this isn’t the only site whose design is taking place in public. Just try everydayapocalyptic.org for evidence.

Other than that, blackalicious are foremost in my mind right now. I was more than a little surprised to see in the university newspaper that they were appearing in Reading. It’s rare that Reading gets a musical treat like that (other than at delicatessen of course) and that’s rather compounded by the lack of publicity. Despite that the venue was packed out. Pretty lousy sound (far too loud, far too muddy) was redeemed by buckets of charisma and some rather tasty tunes and beats. Sadly, this was the last date of the tour. Hopefully, they will be back. DJ Shadow and Blackalicious, both within a month. That’s quite a delight.

With thanks to Zeldman, I feel it time to point you towards googlism.com. Sad though it may be I’ve had a great while typing in various friends’ names (mine is just too identified with a certain industry) and seeing what pops out. I’ve found some gems. Do share yours.
