Bloggers get more scalps?
Several of the groups highlighted by Harry’s Place, Damian Penny, Scott Burgess and this blog (amoungst others) are to be banned by the government. One does have to wonder what affect blogs had on this decision as much of what has been exposed about these groups did not appear in the MSM but on blogs.
I was impressed by Blair’s speech on terrorism and do rather hope that the goverment follows up on his rhetoric. As Blair said The Rules are Changing.
Well done to all the blogs that have kept the pressure up on such groups now lets see if we can MPAC:UK and well as the MAB.

We, at Dodgeblogium, welcome WLOB listeners to our humble blog. I do rather enjoy my 5 minutes updating Mainers to the goings-on in London. I will hopefully have a far better connection week as we are replacing the ex-state monopoly service with one from a far better provider (with 8mb internet and free calls to boot) to the US.
A couple of weeks ago I mentioned a 7/7 inspired song I wrote called ‘Cry Freedom’ for my band Growing Old Disgracefully. Here are the lyrics. We plan to send a copy of the song to Ray when it is finished; hopefully it will be by the end of this month.
NB: If you are interested in reading some good writing from the reasonable left head to Harry’s Place.

I’m not sure how this works, but it is interesting:
Bench’Mark is a project inspired from street culture and street art. It is a piece of public seating, a bench on which people are invited to leave their mark. The users can make graffiti on the bench using their finger. The written or drawn mark will randomly appear on the surface of the bench.The marks float smoothly on the surface of the seat… until someone else uses the bench! When someone sits down the marks left travel towards the person who sat, bumping onto his/her bum seeking for their attention. The marks keep following the person’s movements on the bench and in turn, people can read, play or brush away the marks.
Oh, great. Having your bum sexually harassed by graffiti. It’s a piece being displayed at the Royal College of Art (I think—the original link points to this catalog, but it isn’t clear where exactly it is in the show) by Louisa Stathopoulou, a product designer at Mitsubishi.
