Nancy listens to a lecture on why she needs to drink more Pimms
Some of the guests were surprised to hear there was not going to be a Frisbee throwing contest

noun. A type of collaborative on-line software that allows readers to add content on a subject, which can also be edited by others. For example: Wikipedia.

A wiki on the other hand is about collaboration (in a general sense) rather than expressing views. Wiki definition included as many people have asked us to describe the difference between a blog and a wiki. July 30th, 2004 | Comments are closed

Simon Davies of Privacy International is the driving force behind the Big Brother Awards…
The stout lads from No2ID were out in force…
About 450 people turned up to
This was probably the best propaganda shirt I saw! 1 = Update: The link to the Big Brother Award details has been changed, which is not very clever. Link updated to a somewhat less informative page. July 29th, 2004 | 24 comments - (Comments are closed)
Britain’s government has a website telling us all manner of splendid things about how we are protected by the state now that we have David Blunkett watching over us… and what we should do in the event of a spot of bother happening when Blunkett is off on a tea break. Yet it seems a more, well, candid version of this site has also helpfully been made available to us by our political masters.
