- BBC Trust considering non-religious Thought for the Day – Isn't most of the BBCs output non-religious? Do they now want to rid us a bit more faith. Colin Morris, a former Head of Religious Broadcasting at the BBC said that Thought for the Day was to "Lift our eyes from the mundane to the transcendent" – It seems we are doomed to more "eyes down". Hopeless.

- Jarvis Cocker – I like this – stick with it and watch Jarvis Cocker assemble his name in a graphic style
- Internet Archive – More archive stuff – could this become an obsession?
- BBC Archive – This is a treasure trove. I could spend hours in this corner of the BBC website, listening to recordings of programmes that reveal our national heritage. The first hand account of a senior officer on board the Titanic on the night she sank is riveting. The archive also includes internal documents, letters and notes. Fascinating stuff.

- Via Luminosa light display to tell Easter story in York (From York Press) – If you are in york take time to follow this route over the Easter holiday weeks
- G20Voice | White Band Action – I must have been asleep because I missed this G20 Voice stuff until it was over. All the same it's led me to this loose coalition of blogs which have become important voices in this period of transition in both financial systems and international media outlets. Especially as these publications had full access to the G20 press events standing alongside the big players with access to the 20 heads of state who are G20.
- Stephen Moss examines what the decline of regional journalism means for local democracy | Media | The Guardian – Not all doom and gloom, there are glimmers of hope in this well researched article about the future of local media and the real need of local communities to keep in touch with themselves.

Ashamed of the BBC
Sunday, January 25th, 2009As a former BBC employee I am ashamed of the decision not to broadcast an appeal by the DEC for aid for the Palestinian people of Gaza.
Does impartiality come into this decision? Are the Isreali victims of the ongoing dispute in the same need as those in Gaza whose infrastructure and resources have been smashed. Israel is a relatively wealthy nation and able to look after it’s own. The people of Gaza not so.
Jesus set the example that we should always be on the side of the poor.
So come on Mark Thompson. Be merciful and allow the DEC to make its appeal as a public service to the British people who think you should.
CAMPBELL & MORAGHAN – UK – Swing / Jazz / Country
Thursday, September 4th, 2008MySpace.com – CAMPBELL & MORAGHAN – UK – Swing / Jazz / Country – www.myspace.com/campbellmoraghan
Have a listen and before you read down the page see if you can guess who’s performing.
Clue – you’re one step ahead if you were a fan of Celebrity Talent Shows on BBC1 or listen to 5Live at Breakfast.
Online ads to overtake TV in UK

Online ads to overtake TV
The internet will overtake TV as the biggest advertising platform in the UK this year with total ad spend of around £3.56bn, according to a report by Enders Analysis.
But does this mean it’s more effective? I think I would still rather have 30 seconds on peak time TV than the equivalent cost on t’internet. I confess I have no idea if I know what that would mean in web exposure, but TV still feels like you’re in lots of living rooms where it matters more than being on the “lean forwards” screen..
Radio 4 news hit by giggling fit
Friday, March 28th, 2008BBC NEWS | Radio 4 news hit by giggling fit
Hundreds of listeners have contacted BBC Radio 4 after newsreader Charlotte Green dissolved into giggles while reading a bulletin on Today.She lost control after playing a clip of the oldest known recording of the human voice.
Charlotte Green has my sympathy – as someone who used to read news bulletins I know the dreadful feeling when a fit of the giggles interrupts your normally sedate reading voice.
The one that I recall most vividly was when I was reading a piece of copy, “North Yorkshire dinner ladies were toasted for winning an employment tribunal case over equal pay”. My imagination played riot with the idea of toasted dinner ladies.
Review: The Other Boleyn Girl
Thursday, March 27th, 2008I was very disappointed with this film. Had I been on my own I would have left the cinema part way through I was so disengaged.
No effort was made to create the characters – I felt nothing for any of them. As the film progressed I didn’t care what happened to any of them. Bad things happened to them all – there was no redemption.
The story is about how Ann Boleyn became the second of Henry VIII’s wives. I know it was a bleak era in England’s history – but in this film it was boring too.
Thankfully it was a cheap seats night – so it only cost me £3.50 – and it was cold too.
Perfectly miss-able.
