A new Q

via news.bbc.co.uk

RT@mocost MI5 seeks a part-time Q:

BBC News has learned that the appointment is intended to assist MI5 in harnessing developments in science and technology that will help the service combat terrorism and support field officers in counter-intelligence activities.

BBC asked Professor John Beddington, the top scientific adviser in the UK government, if the job involved designing cool gadgets.

"I think it's unlikely that the person will be required to develop a weapons system for the latest Aston Martin," was his reply.

Let's watch

It's our anniversary of our first date, so I say "Let's watch a movie!" and May says ok, which one, and I say, "How about Attack of the Mushroom People?" and May says, "What's it about?"

and I say listen, it's TOHO, it's 1963 and it is called Matango: Attack of the Mushroom People -- how could there be anything else to know?  well, if you must know, there's http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0057295/ where we learn how the film was nearly banned in Japan because the makeup was very reminiscent of how many people looked after the atomic bombing.
 

Gettin the beat

Looking more groovy by the minute. Nice clean design, posts easily from phones, ties into other services, hosts media. But where is their business plan? Is this another flickr trap?
