Jesus loves you, but Bono is his favourite

Couldnt help but chuckle, when I read that the Canadian PM rejected Bono's invitation to meet him to discuss aid for Africa at the G8 summit in Germany recently, saying that he likes Bono but meeting celebrities isn’t his thing. :)

Now, check out this hilarious post on the Guardian Culture Vulture blog:

I recommend that you read the comments of the above post, the sweetest things (not all of them) I have read in a long, long time!

PS: From Wikipedia- Bono, with other 3 guys, has made some remarkable rock records.

Desirable Gadget

Tivoli Audio will be launching their NetWorksGo internet radio, late 2007. It can be connected to a broadband or wireless Internet. I dont have to boot my computer and open the browser to listen to my favourite BBC Radio 2. Just turn on the radio and switch to presets.

So, how many stations can I listen to? "..literally thousands of free radio stations around the world."

How do I add a station (tune into a newstation)?

A user needs only to send an email to Tivoli requesting a new station and if approved it will be added to the list. The radio owner then can update the radio’s firmware with a manual button press which will update the list with any newly-added stations. (via Critical Distance Weblog)

Getting this would make my Worldspace reciever redundant, though.

The joy of re-reading a classic

Re-reading Gerald Durrell's My family and another animals was the best thing I did in the last two rain-soaked, lazy days. The book moves forward slowly, with Durrell's spectacular prose detailing the looks and behaviour of insects, reptlies, mammals with wit and humor.

The sky-blue cover with illustrations of an owl, frog, scorpion, dog, lizard, pelican and tortoise was good enough for me to pick up the 50th anniversary edition of this book, last sunday.

Watchin' a game, havin' a Bud...

The big Lebowski: It's funny. I can look back on a life of achievement, on challenges met, competitors bested, obstacles overcome. I've accomplished more than most men, and without the use of my legs. What. . . what makes a man, Mr. Lebowski?
Dude: I don't know, sir.
The big Lebowski: Is it. . . is it, being prepared to do the right thing? Whatever the price? Isn't that what makes a man?
Dude: Sure. That and watchin' a game on TV, havin' a Kingfisher.
The big Lebowski: (after a pause) True.. True..
