Some sweet high-res stills from Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix were released online today. I like the short hair! I also covet Hermione’s yoked fairisle jumper. (Link courtesy of Kevin.)
Cricket Australia says they’re going to crack down on racism this year… except for Pom bashing. We’re still allowed to do that. Cool!
Check it – a messenger bag made out of old floppy disks. Pretty sweet! Although it looks like it would suffer from the same problem as my Carpenters bag: being too boxy and uncomfortable to carry.
TallulahBelle is my new favorite Idol commentator. Her analysis of Sunday’s performances was spot on, and she shares my insane amusement with the antics of Mr. Bobby Flynn. (Thanks to crumpet for pointing me to Tally’s site.)
Pictures from last weekend’s Bridge Run are now online! Why is my natural impulse to give the thumbs-up in every time I see a photographer?

Thank you for the tag! Working on my post now. FWIW you can have search on static sites using lunr.js…
Thanks Kris. Didn’t know about the environmental stuff, thanks for that.
