#movies: Even if I didn't already dislike the idea, I just saw a 1-minute clip of the new #Star_Trek and hated every second of it.

Oh dear. After chugging my way through that CC essay, I'm not that keen on the #ODbL at all. (Ah, microblogging is great, isn't it?)

@myadmarket Go away, spammer. Blocked.

I keep hearing "people in #Dubai have 2x carbon footprint of Americans." Their population: 2.2m. US population: 306m. Who's worse, really?

@hdp I'll bet good money that the UAE will fix its carbon issues long before America does.

On the other hand, I see that #Creative_Commons aren't keen on the new ODbL. This'll take a while to read: http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki... #data #freedom

Open Database License v1.0 has been released. http://www.opendatacommons.org/2009... Excellent news for #FLOSS (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki...) hackers. #data #freedom

@5l It's idiotic. I should really have tagged it as #UKFail as well, as it's one of a wide range of stupidities.

Pondering a FLOSS project I gave years to before leaving in disgust, now totally stagnated. I'll be smarter next time. Hindsight is 20/20.

!London buses #designfail part 2: the classic buses had opening windows at the front, allowing natural air flow cooling. Modern buses don't.

#designfail: !London buses require an engineer to adjust the heating controls. Meaning that many have the heat stuck *on* in the summer.

The new !Wikipedia skin, Vector, designed for improved usability, is great. Try it out from your prefs. http://usability.wikimedia.org/wiki... (via @brionv)

Karl Malden has died at the age of 97. Understandably, alt.fan.karl-malden.nose is horrified. #USENET IS OVER

For those of us with no design skills at all these "about me" page design tips are useless or plain exasperating at best. http://www.smashingmagazine.com/2009...

#Firefox 3.5's new private browsing mode is great. It makes using a random 3rd party machine a little less stressful.

A #wiki encyclopedia for everyone/thing factual in #Private_Eye would be so awesome. If only I had the time to kick off projects these days.

#oEmbed looks interesting, but it's a pity that the #XML version is not #RDF, nor did the authors consider #REST principles for their spec.
