I must say, you have an almost impeccable taste in music! Last.fm is such a great service; as is Facebook. I haven’t found an urge to start twittering yet, though.

Asbjørn, you are too kind. Thankyou for overlooking The Wiggles in my music stats. Although in the interest of full disclosure I should say that the play count for “Intergalactic” by the Beastie Boys is also artificially inflated courtesy of the Jr. Girtbys. They just love the bit that goes “Beastie Boys don’t let the beat ….. NNNNNDROP!”. As do I.

That "let the beat... drop" bit is even better when you've heard the track they sampled it from (lyrics sites are full of mondegreens, so take their transcription with a grain of salt).

LinkedIn seems to be another place where all the cool suits are hanging out now too... as incongruous as that sounds. It's certainly not a MySpace/Facebook killer, and I can't see 14 year olds flocking to it, but it does seem to have what it takes for some interesting job search-related networking. It's a bit like a game of 6 degrees but with business cards.

Hello Alastair, Apparently, I’m sitting in your old seat at your old company, between Chris & Julian. They all say nice things about you.
