  • Taoism @ Wikipedia
    There is an order to everything. For every good thing, there is a bad thing.
  • Carla Bruni
    Model turned singer with a restful voice
  • They call it puppet love
    Shakespeare's poem 'Venus and Adonis'. With marionettes. For some reason I'm thinking of 'Being John Malkovich' right now.
  • Google Desktop
    Bit of a blow for the Blinx people really. Doesn't this do much the same thing? That said it doesn't work with my Windows 98SE set up so I can't tell you.
  • Chris Rock to Host 77th Academy Awards
    Probably perfect casting. I'm assuming his entrance will be more dignified than in 'Dogma'.
  • Interview with Edgar Wright director of 'Spaced' and 'Shaun of the Dead'
    Includes and especially convincing explanation of another boxset of 'Spaced' some bitterness of the lack of repeats on Channel 4. Their answer is that they can't see the point. How can what was once a great channel now be run by such kretins?
  • how to get a knife through a metal detector
    A truly disturbing search request
  • Brain drain hits African athletics
    Examination of athletes representing countries elsewhere
  • Film of the Day: Good Bye Lenin! (2003)
    Amazingly funny and nostalgic.

    That Taoism link's good. I'm totally non-religious but am interested in Tao as a philosophy and have been practising Wu-Wei for a long time now.
    Also Good Bye Lenin is a great film.

    Wiki is great source for information about religion. It tends to be fairly neutral and clear.
