Some blogs I like
May 23, 2008
- Flip flops and Led Zep tour shirt for the office? – I'm really liking Richard McComb's columns in the Post.
- Councillor Mullaney suspended from office after losing appeal – Mixed feelings about this. Martin can be a pillock sometimes but he's the best councilor I've ever come across. That said, he probably screwed up here.
- Make the web work for your business at Creative Networks – Press release for the talk Stef and I are doing next Thursday
- Evernote – Oooh, this looks good. Skitch-style clipping of stuff but with added text recognition in images. Watch the movie.
- Teenager faces prosecution for calling Scientology 'cult' – "The City of London police came under fire two years ago when it emerged that more than 20 officers, ranging from constable to chief superintendent, had accepted gifts worth thousands of pounds from the Church of Scientology."

Is the tram depot office important enough to make a fuss over? Only if people step forward and say it is…
