Oh hey, Americans!
Do you want the free tickets to see Green Zone that I won?
It’s like a $20 voucher at fandango.com you can have.
JSTN: à l'hôpital →

I had surgery yesterday, a procedure known as an ileostomy reversal. Everything went fine…
I love Justin. I remember chatting to him on iChat when he first started getting sick. I was misdiagnosed with Crohn’s when I was a kid so knew a little bit about the disease.
He’s inspired me with his photoblog, with his fstop collection, with muxtape.com and the beautiful flickr-twist i hardly know her.
His getting better has been a long time coming.
What to do?
I’ve not had a day without work in a while. Suggestions so far
• Go take photos (note that it’s a bit grey and crap outside)
• Replace the tube lightbulb in the bathroom
• Pick up the mail
• Edit footage from India
• Go have coffee from somewhere nice
• Do 3 loads of washing
• Make banana bread
• Put cameras and things up on ebay
• Reply to JonCherry who might want to buy a camera.
• “Do some work you lazy cunt.”
Any other suggestions?
3-D Printer Creates Buildings From Dust and Glue →
tech.slashdot.org
D-Shape, an innovative new 3-D printer, builds solid structures like sculptures, furniture, even buildings from the ground up. The device relies on sand and magnesium glue to actually build structures layer by layer from solid stone. The designer, Enrico Dini, is even talking with various organizations about making the printer compatible with moon dust, paying the way for an instant moonbase!
Moon dust.

For years, Viacom continuously and secretly uploaded its content to YouTube, even while publicly complaining about its presence there. It hired no fewer than 18 different marketing agencies to upload its content to the site. It deliberately “roughed up” the videos to make them look stolen or leaked. It opened YouTube accounts using phony email addresses. It even sent employees to Kinko’s to upload clips from computers that couldn’t be traced to Viacom. And in an effort to promote its own shows, as a matter of company policy Viacom routinely left up clips from shows that had been uploaded to YouTube by ordinary users.
Viacom’s efforts to disguise its promotional use of YouTube worked so well that even its own employees could not keep track of everything it was posting or leaving up on the site.
In fact, some of the very clips that Viacom is suing us over were actually uploaded by Viacom itself.
