thepatrick: @dnorman: I was amazed to discover that shaw not only lets you plug in a router without registering it first, but give two dhcp leases. (via Twitter / thepatrick)
thepatrick: er, I meant _with_ a lang attribute set (via Twitter / thepatrick)

thepatrick: Print design is kind of fun. Knowing that your fonts/colours are going to be _exactly_ how you want them suits the pedant in me. (via Twitter / thepatrick)

thepatrick: Crud. That won’t work, and it’s been tinyurl-ified. Darn. (via Twitter / thepatrick)

thepatrick: @dnorman: slight variation on a warm gun that. (via Twitter / thepatrick)
Reign Over Me (Rating: 80/100)
A similar Sandler to the one seen in Punch Drunk Love or Spanglish.
Interesting use of colour to show moods, and entirely shot in digital (results in some really fantastic street-level shots of New York).

thepatrick: @bear: me thinks that twitter should fix that. (via Twitter / thepatrick)
thepatrick: @dnorman: that is probably my biggest aperture annoyance. (via Twitter / thepatrick)
thepatrick: Mmmm cheese. (via Twitter / thepatrick)

London Flickr Meetups: Brighton
I’ve never gone to a flickr meetup before. Oh sure, it’s been on my todo list for the last 2 years, but it just never happened. Fortunately I’d bookmarked this event, found it the day before, and actually managed to get organised enough to meet people and go.
