• The BBC Micro turns 30 – Pretty much every Brit around my age will remember the Model B. It felt so… professional after using the Sinclair Spectrum!
• Thanksgiving Is Un-American – Socialism and illegal immigration… Why thanksgiving is un-American.
• Coders are creatives too: Where’s our love? – “How did a person whose greatest educational achievement is crayoning without going over the lines get termed ‘a creative’, when the people who built our world are dismissed as geeks and bottom feeders?”

This weeks PhotoFriday challenge is “Little.” My entry is a little traffic jam, taken in Covent Garden market.

I didn’t have an entry in last weeks challenge so you don’t have to feel guilty for not voting for me.

I’d walked across this square, in the City of London, for weeks before, one evening, I went past at dusk and saw that the pavement was “Glowing,” which, by strange coincidence, is this weeks PhotoFriday theme.

Please also vote for my entry in last weeks challenge, “Near.” I’m entry number 164.

• Vintage 80s: Life on the streets – Images from London in the 1980’s.

Cars, this weeks PhotoFriday theme, seem such every-day sights that it’s easy to think that they’re not worth taking pictures of unless it’s something exotic. However, for some reason, I was taking pictures of the local shopping centre, so I have this image of a bunch of cars.

There’s no need to feel guilty for not voting for me in last weeks challenge since I didn’t get the time to post an entry.

I love the curved roof of the British Museum, which is why I thought that this would make a good entry for this weeks PhotoFriday challenge, which is “Curvature.”

Please also vote for my entry in last weeks challenge, “Gold.” I’m entry 149.

• The IBM PC is 30 today – Look how far we’ve come in thirty years…
• photoshoplooter – I think this is a typically British response to the rioting currently going on around the UK this week.

As soon as I saw the theme for this weeks challenge, “Gloomy,” I knew which image I needed to use. I took it only a couple of weeks ago on the way to work and is a great representation of the kind of summer we’ve been having so far. Pretty gloomy, eh?

Please also vote for my entry in last weeks challenge, “Sharp Focus.” I’m entry 151.

• Apple Engineer Fashions Computer Out of Legos – I never quite got this advanced with technical lego…
• United Kingdom and Ireland as seen from ISS – Wow.
