Monday Morning “Impediment to Productivity” – 20060508

Hi,
Just a quick one this week

Stuff from the Blog dept.
First up Neil Young has released a new album straight to the web.

Next (and I have to say this is a personal favourite)
The cops blow up news stands and it’s all Tom Cruise’s fault.

As Bruce Schneier says “You just can’t make this stuff up.”

And over at Jools Pontificates there is a post about the Sultans Elephant performance piece that is being held in London.

There is some more at the BBC site as well

This tickled my funny bone, over in New Zealand, it would seem I will have company in hell.

A Japanese paintball-gun company is making a special gun that fires small stuffed (if they weren’t before they soon will be) teddy bears who float down on parachutes. It seems that it’s become common to throw teddies instead of confetti at Japanese weddings.

And the game this week makes no sense whatsoever. Strawberry Clocks, frogs and a steak. Good luck… you will need it.

Grant had a weird little week this week. Lots of really different stuff.

http://indieish.com/2006/05/06/day-126-trent-envie/
Day 125 : Sköhl Offensrüh – Family Bonds (more crunchy guitars, who knows what the lyrics are about)

Now don’t forget the to pop into the blog ( https://thatchspace.com/ ) for the odd update during the week.

  1. As the parent of two Teddies I am outraged by the disgraceful behaviour promoted by this product.

  2. I’ve met your bears… they look like adventure teddies to me. I feel sure that they want to fly.

    You could make them little Evel Knievel costumes and then shoot them out of the gun.

    No? Oh well.
