http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/10219655.stm Twelve people were killed by a gunman who went on the rampage across Cumbria in north-west England. Taxi driver Derrick Bird shot dead a colleague in the town of Whitehaven, before driving through the countryside apparently targeting people at random. Eleven others were injured, three critically and five seriously. Mr Bird's body was found in a wooded area in Boot in the Lake District, where a shotgun and a rifle fitted with a telescopic sight were recovered. This sort of thing in the UK is extremely rare. Anyone from this area of England?

http://blogs.abcnews.com/politicalpunch/2010/06/bp-turns-to-political-shop-for-50-million-ad-buy-to-convince-you-the-company-will-get-this-done-and-.html I would love nothing more than to see this company implode. They could have had this fixed a long time ago but they keep showing us how ignorant and irresponsible they are. Now people are losing their jobs, animals are dying and they constantly ignore ideas that have been proven to work (low yield nukes, hay, wool, suction from another tanker, ect). Now they want to waste money on ads when they could be using it to solve the problem. Fuck you BP, I hope they all get AIDS and cancer at the same time and have their inn…

http://www.theregister.co.uk/2010/05/28/object_2010_kq/ experts say it's more likely to be the booster stage from a previous interplanetary mission in the past (rather than an alien spacecraft). what interplanetary missions of the past? we haven't been on any...do they mean the likes of Voyager etc? surely they haven't got big boosters on them or anthing - they're just little-ish satellite type things aren't they?

disable "wake on bluetooth"! http://www.wired.com/gadgetlab/2009/05/macbook-users-turn-off-this-bluetooth-default-setting-now/ I just opened my backpack to find my macbook had been on and running for the last hour. The CPU temperature must have been pretty close to 90c, the laptop itself was too hot to hold. Somehow it still works, thanks to the giant unibody heatsink, I guess. Today's lesson: Don't change your bluetooth mouse batteries after putting your laptop in your backpack, unless you want it to wake up and potentially start a fire.

is anyone using the new IP.Board iPhone app?

I'm not sure I like it. When I go on watmm through Safari now it looks the same as in the app. It doesn't show avatars, instead it shows the member photo, the other photo you see when you look at someones profile, which most people haven't bothered with. When I turn it landscape it just zooms in but uses the same dimensions as in portrait so you can basically see less. There is an option to update my status, I don't know what that even is. It seems quite slow too but I can't be sure if thats not just me.

Acupuncture

I'm undergoing acupuncture treatment for my pinched nerve and my anxiety. I've done one session and it was a very nerve racking experience overall but I feel different for sure. I'm a little more calm and collected, I think after a few sessions it will be more effective than any pill I've taken. My nerve is still pinched however, that may take more time. Share your acupuncture stories in the text field below.

The other day, I had the pleasure of spending two hours at some government building to get some shit taken care of. It was largely just a lot of waiting in line and looking at the pictures on the wall for the 1000th time, but there was one bright spot: When I first got there and got in line, I immediately noticed an extremely attractive redhead up at the front. I don't know celebrities well enough to compare her, but she had a real "birth of venus" floating on a clamshell thing going on. She also had a baby, and like three bags of baby paraphenalia. The baby started fussing about... so, she stepped out in front of the line and put everything on the floor, baby included. A…

did anyone see that kid get robbed of his perfect game last night on the tigers? there have only been 20 perfect games since 1880. and only once (i believe) has there been 2 perfect games in one season. this would have been the 3rd in a month. what a shame that an ump can change the course of history just like that. there should be challenge system like in the nfl at this point in mlb. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VmCNNxRg_Og
