Alright Mr Blair was able to get Rev Ian Paisley to talk to Sinn Fein but can he really go one better and solve the problems of the Middle East? http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk_politics/6242788.stm I can’t help but think that this is a poorly calculated idea. If there is one guy who is not very popular within certain relgious groups in the Middle East it would be Mr Blair. Come next November...

*Dr Who Spoiler if you haven’t seen this weeks episode* Well we knew it was coming but I must hand it to Mr Davies, the return of the Master was handled quite well.

I am, of course, talking about the fantastic episode of Dr Who broadcast last night. ‘Blink’ was written by the guy who is rapidly becoming the best episode writer of the revamped series, Steven Moffat. Well I’m not going to spoil it for anyone who hasn’t seen it yet but suffice...
Community saves photo site Zooomr? →
Having previously blogged about my online photo storage concerns last month, it was with some worry that I followed the story of Zooomr, a new web app run by two guys. I loved their ethos, openness and the feel of the site. However, as they struggled to upgrade their system to Mark III their whole tech infrastructure fell apart. They wrote about it, we watched, we felt their pain and...
