Dan talks about being naked, his peen and erections on this Bravo clip of Inside the Actors Studio…

Wide range of facial expressions on children at puppet show - The moment the dragon is slain, Guignol puppet show, Parc de Montsouris, Paris, 1963.

Alfred snapped this in 1963, at the climax of Guignol’s “Saint George and the Dragon” in the Tuileries Garden in Paris. Just as the dragon is slain, some children cry out in a combination of horror and delight, while others are taken aback in shock. Every child is consumed with emotion, masterfully captured by Eisenstaedt’s camera

Another one from the amazing Google LIFE archive.

YouTube have changed the size and format ratio of their video playback window.

I like it, but not everyone does, in a good example of the perils of unmodded UGC, I give you this:

I love this pic, so colourful, click for full size version.

Hot on the heels of yesterdays gay Steve Jobs photo, this one takes the biscuit!

Some one found my Gordon Ramsay pics on Flickr, and used them to power this story on him.

Just loving it. Took some unboxing pics – more later…

I thought an interesting post would be around what I do and don’t install on my new Samsung NC10 netbook.

Although it has a massive 120gb HD, massive by netbook standards, I thought I would take great care in what I install to its virgin bites and bobs.

The software world has changed a great deal since I bought my last Windows laptop 4 years a go. One main difference being the number of options of running software in the Cloud – or software as an online service. And it’s mostly free!

One main established provider for the personal market being Google – I am actually hoping to do without MS Office for the first time, by installing their Doc’s pack and running it offline with their Gears enabled Chrome browser.

But firstly, and even before I connect it to the net, should be anti virus provision. I have heard scare stories about the tiny amount of time it takes to find an unprotected Windows machine once it’s connected to the net. Again, there are pretty decent ones for free. I have done a bit of research and have decided that the avast! antivirus Home Edition is the one for me – I have downloaded it at work and it will be the first thing I install after set up.

Next will be the browsers, might not even bother with IE this time. Firefox and Chrome it will be. And I might throw Safari into the mix, though I don’t think their windows version is as good as their Mac.

Then the Adobe package of reader, writer and flash(er). Ill be nice to Microsoft and install Silverlight too. From Apple, quicktime is a must.

Next, iTunes, mainly just to control my main install on my MacBook – I don’t expect to have two iTunes libraries, but can connect to my main one via my AirPort. Talking of Airport, I will need the plugin so I can see my shared drives.

Now a bit of social networking, Flickr uploader and TweetDeck – most of my other SoNets don’t need an offline installation. Of course, I’ll need to have Last.FM installed. Also need a little app for uploading the steps I do on my pedometer to FitBug.

So, that may be it for now – I’ll keep this updated as I go along – sure there is loads I can’t think of for now – but I am going to try and keep this a lean install if I can – that’s the style of the netbook.

Well folks, it’s been a year. Not a great year for me personally, and prob quite poor for this blog, doubt if we have any readers, but hell, it’s not for them!

I’ve keep it fairly infrequently. I got inspired all over again about the Web at FOWA 08, and that spurred me on to do a couple of projects, in a quick and dirty fashion.

Now I have everything all set up and talking to each other, a very stable and responsive host, I have built a good foundation as they say.

What we need is a killer post everyone diggs! Aim for next year – write killer post!
