For those of you who care about world news and events, here's a little something from 'across the pond'.

Tony Blair hinted today at new restrictions on internet journalism, saying online news coverage had become "more pernicious and less balanced" than traditional political reporting.
"New forms of communication would provide new outlets to by-pass the increasingly shrill tenor of the traditional media. "In fact, the new forms can be even more pernicious, less balanced, more intent on the latest conspiracy theory multiplied by five."
Whew...
Fun factoid: There are now 32 CCTV cameras on public streets within 200 yards of the flat where George Orwell penned 1984. - courtesy of doc @ irc.
