    Software you love

    Gmail and Google Reader for browsing. Tweetie/Byline for iphone. Opera - for its overall smartness; Mouse Gestures+directory of photos on your HD = fastest way to browse through hundreds of photos.

    If you got the dosh - http://arkitip.com/magazines/ A US subscription at $95 might not be too bad, but $250 for Europe is a bit too much. Looks like a proper product though.

    Disco Ragas house music from Bombay

    "Is it some elaborate prank?" Too good to be true I guess having just checked the wikipedia entries for the Rolands synths, spec the TB-303 which was released in 1982. So my vote is for false nostalgia. (video linked off wikipedia piece - ha and "pranksters KLF " are in there)

    Films you've seen recently and would unreservedly recommend:

    Watched Cocaine Cowboys last night (recorded on the PVR). Brilliant documentary on the rebirth of Miami through drugs. Sadly not available online through Channel 4 (Edit: but looks like that most of it is on Google Video, feck me there is even a "part II"). Well worth two hours of your life...
