This drumming site has probably been sitting on the tinterweb for years but I've just come across it. All drummers should head over there and check out the classics at work.

Intruder caught red handed on a webcam. Apparently they spotted him looking at pr0n on their computer - I hate to think what else he was doing.

Sarah Haynes has a very bizarre job- taste-testing super-hot curries. No mention is made of how many pints of lager she will have to quaff.

Incidentally this is a book I designed back in 1997: Robot (Inside Guides). I had great fun doing that book. The yellow "crab" on the cover was a research project. It was built to scale the inside of a nuclear reactor and was roughly eight foot wide and about a tonne in weight. That was a very interesting photoshoot.

Sadly it's now out of print.

It looks like San Francisco is the place to be if you are a robot this weekend. The Robolympics is being held and I'd love to see the Aibo football in action.

Spot on satire from Steve Bell in Today's Guardian - 18.03.04: The Budget. Thank god for no tax rises, but is it enough to keep the wolves from Blair's door? Ooh, politics in my blog - whatever next?

If you like drinking Cider until you fall over and kicking shins until your opponent falls over then head to Dover's Hill outside Chipping Camden on June 4. Don't forget to stuff some hay down your kecks first.

Great Flash site from Monsterism housing lots of brilliant eye-candy. I especially like their sculptures, even if I can't afford one.

Margaret Cusack produces some stunning stitches. Usually I'll reach for my mac and Adobe Illustrator but Margaret reaches for her sewing machine. She's been commissioned by some very big clients too.

Reflektorium is a German collective of three illustrators. Surreal images contained within. Standout portfolio in my mind is Mario Wagners.

Spinneyhead is pointing and saying, "Look at this..." Mini Central London Model. It looks so much better in miniature. I bet Ross (my son) would love to play "Congestion Zone Charge Czar" on it with his toy cars.

Here's a future .net gallery contributor: Koren Shadmi. Very painterly style with a slightly macabre feel - but don't let that put you off, his work is outstanding.

I'm not sure what to think about this. Is it good or is it bad? Xbox development on a G5: Whatever next? A mars mission controlled by PowerPCs - what, really - It seems they already have!
