his skull has a weird mix of ancient and modern traits. It was discovered in a cave in southwest China and dates to between 14,500 and 11,500 years ago. And it might represent the newest humanoid species to coexist with humans.
First, there were the Neanderthals, which were first discovered in Germany 150 years ago and have had a firm place in the public imagination ever ...

Possibly the best name of any you tube video. Loving this redub by my mad Welsh mate Jason Flapsandwich...

The songs that tend to top the charts these days are usually bland manufactured crap. But this has got to number 1 and is pretty damned good. First couple of times I heard it I was sure it was Peter Gabriel as he has that sort of vocal style from the Sledghammer era.

This time from the multi talented Seattle based comedian and musician Reggie Watts. This guy is pretty damn amazing. First vid is layers of beatboxed sound with him singing over it. The second is what I call the 'Ciaran Rap' (for reasons that will become obvious)

Beardyman has been posted a few times but here he is again with one of his peers, Nathan 'Flutebox' Lee. Brilliant stuff - could we see Rob beatboxing while on the cello?

Do Not Stand at My Grave and Weep by Mary Elizabeth Frye

Do not stand at my grave and weep,
I am not there, I do not sleep.

I am a thousand winds that blow.
I am the diamond glint on snow.
I am the sunlight on ripened grain.
I am the gentle autumn rain.

When you wake in the morning hush,
I am the swift, uplifting rush
Of quiet birds in circling flight.
I am the soft starlight at night.

Do not stand at my

Was watching a documentary on British Pathe and they showed some old footage of Thailand/Siam. There is some videos of Prince Bira (Thailand's only Formula One driver to date) as well as footage of His Majesty's world tour and lots of other gems.

Here's the link to the search results for Thailand;

Did you know that the Jack O’ Lantern is actually thought to represent a severed human head captured in battle? And that in Mexico, some people sleep on the graves of their ancestors on the night before Halloween?

Halloween has become such a part of modern tradition, that we often forget to realize it is one of the only secular holidays that actually has origins in the sacred. The childhood holiday of spooks

A friend posted this to me and I thought it was a very insightful article on the tragic events of 10 years ago, and how the world has changed since.

Less than a week before Osama bin Laden was killed, I visited Ground Zero. Most prosaically, it is a building site. Even with the contours of the inevitably spectacular Freedom Tower becoming more visible, it is the rougher elements that dominate: the cranes; the unpolished, uncovered concrete; the barbed wire on the fences that rim the ...

Have posted some Kenny McCaskill stuff before but this a great wee video of one of the best stunt/trail riders in the world. Some of the shots of stunts on the Edinburgh Castle walls are just scary!

American Military Needs To Invade London, England

Human right’s violations in London, England, are spreading quickly and wildly. As seen in the volatile inner-city areas of London over the weekend, brutal clashes between freedom fighters rallying against police violence are being met with armed government resistance.

The people of London are being terrorized by an oppressive government, the same government that suppressed the rights of every American and many other ...

As they have just opened entries for the Landscape Photographer of the Year 2011 (UK) a few of last year's best entries have been posted online so thought I would share some of my favourites.


Paul Sansome, La Corbière, St. Brelade, Jersey, Channel Islands. Commended in the Classic View category.

My mum has not been too well the last few months. She was diagnosed with pulminary fibrosis last year but that was just causing increased breathlessness.
Then about 8 weeks ago, she had a bad fall on her way to see me. At first it seemed like she had just suffered a gash to the head, then a few weeks later they realised she had some cracked ribs too.
She seemed to be taking ages to recuperate; she was off her food, was in a lot of pain, and there was a build up of fluid in her stomach ...
