At last a sunny day, it does indeed feel positive. Can't help but think about two things: lots of beer in a nice outside pub and sweaty bike rides. I guess the positives do really outweigh the negatives and I am secretly looking forward to summer. A lot of things will happen before then I am sure.
The technology buzz seems to be as strong as ever, if not more so. The BBC have been granted some sort of licensing fee, which they will use to improve their interactive media. The Guardian has launched the first ever "collective comment blog by a British Newspaper." Today they even had a contribution by Noam Chomsky. Not many comments yet but will be interesting to watch it develop.

Google also continues to make its usual news appearances. A few years ago estimated worth was around $27 billion I think. They have now been taking the publishing world by storm. Their so called "Google Print" has been renamed as "Google Book Search" and is a plan to have all books in the world available, for free, on the internet. Besides that it also plans to become the worlds "informational grid", containing everyone's information. Scary.
That's enough small talk for now. Shit Stories will probably from a lengthy delay. Excitement generally remains minimal but Guiness will be flowing come Friday.
Enjoy the light.
M.M.
