Gaza cartoon

I am a big fan of Steve bell and Martin Rowson who do the cartoons for the Guardian. They are always right on topic and usually very clever.

This one last week I particularly liked.

News on 'The Hobbit'

Excellent news in today's Guardian, which contains an interview with Ian McKellen, where he indicates his interest in reprising the role of Gandalf for the upcoming Hobbit movies. Guillermo del Toro is set to direct with peter Jackson producing.

This is an exciting develpment and one I look forward to seeing on the big screeen.

Hacker follow up...

So, previously I blogged about the hackers who were getting in the face of Scientology and thought it a bit of a lark. Little did I know the Machiavellian lengths to which these dastardly types were going. Their hack attack used Rick Astley no less! A harsh punishment for anyone.

Hackers attack Scientology

I've noticed quite a bit in the news recently about the 'church' of Scientology. As is customary, Tom Cruise is front and centre, as well as a notable contribution of $10m from the voice of Bart Simpson, Nancy Cartwright. I find the publicising of her involvement a bit worrying given the massive influence the Simpsons has on the world's youth.
There is a good article in today's Guardian about an on-going protest by hackers, who have waged war on the organisations online profile. Global protests to follow.

World's stupidest laws

These appeared in the Guardian today and they are all really good. Click here for a laugh -
