Ellen’s achievement
Does it really deserve the first 15 minutes of the BBC news on Monday? I mean come on. They pre-empted coverage of an agreement between Sharon & the PA, to wax poetic about her. Now the cynic might suggest that Beeb was unwilling to say anything positive, at all, about either Condileeza Rice or Arial Sharon.
It is an impressive achievement, helped with lots of modern technology. Would the BBC care as much is she was a he? Personally the round the world airplane speed records and the near-space tourism is far more important than this. Both will have profound affects on the way we travel; while one woman going solo round the planet in a high-tech sailboat probably will not have much.
Of course, Jon, a keen sailor, disagrees with me.

I’m probably going to be very short on posting over the next week, so here’s a trio of games to keep you occupied. If you play just one a day, the time will fly by unnoticed!
Here’s a stupid rodeo game!
Here’s a WWI aerial combat game!
And here’s a first-person shooter, which is actually kind of interesting!
