Working Moms: The Kids Are All Right — assuming, of course, that most of your wage doesn’t end up going towards paying for childcare.

Finally making a start on learning HTML5 — it’s not looking too bad, considering I learn by copying looking at working examples. HTML5 Doctor is shaping up to be an invaluable reference when I don’t understand the reason for a new tag.
Israel certainly has the right to make its own decisions — war-like or otherwise — when it comes to Iran, but then it shouldn’t expect anyone (by that I mean the US) to back them up if they decide to press the button.
Downton Abbey footman says class divide hurts poor actors: well, no shit, Sherlock. If you’ve got money, you can set your sights on any career, knowing that if times get tough, you have something to fall back on. Not exactly an insight.
Rural policy may stunt China’s middle class — I knew people who simply didn’t notify anyone regarding the status of their hukou when they moved to another city. Possibly storing up trouble for later, but as the adage goes, it’s easier to ask for forgiveness than permission.
Can Murdoch make Salmond jump at his low tax scheme? Oh dear Deity. Could Salmond want Scottish independence any less?
Why “The Artist” shouldn’t win — how about this? The Artist was fun, light, and a film made for a global audience.
How cute is this — a Rolodex scrapbook?! I want want want my own.
It’s not really news, is it? ‘Outspoken atheist’ Dawkins admits he is agnostic — people who are secular humanists / atheists / what have you tend to allow for the possibility that there might / will be evidence that emerges to change known facts about the world, and that is the difference between us and the religiously certain.

Even if I (by that I mean Neil) could be arsed to drive to these venues, I’d be far too pregnant to bop around to Chris Cornell. *sigh* Ah well, at least I got to see Fatboy Slim and do a little boogie in December.
Two days ago, I realised that the running / workout tracky daks I’ve been wearing are now a little… er… too snug around the belly. *sigh* Also, I didn’t realise when I got dressed today in an old band teeshirt that proclaiming my University-era love for Offspring was going to be somewhat amusing. Well, to me, anyway.
You know, the Republicans should nominate Rick Santorum. He sounds almost as wacky as Gingrich.
Lower sodium in chips with faster ‘salt burst’ — aka making eating crisps less fun!
These squatters aren’t exactly portrayed in the most sympathetic manner (it is the Telegraph), but what these squatters have done is highlight that there are a lot of empty properties that could be put into use, if only the government — local or otherwise — would take some real action on homelessness. Then they can criminalise squatting all they want.
What a shame: Olympus expects net loss, but core business seen unscathed. I’ve been vaguely aware of the scandal that’s hit Olympus. They make good cameras.
