Sarah Palin is no Margaret Thatcher.
As much as I despised Mrs. T. you had to hand it to the Iron Lady for never pandering to those she wasn’t ideologically aligned with. The miners’ strike showed us her feelings on things such as unions - she was hell bent on destroying them.

If Boing Boing were to be believed you’d be thinking that this recent post had a remote topical feel about it; what with everybody getting sliced up at every conceivable opportunity in the UK. But, unfortunately it’s relating to quite an old piece in the never-to-miss-an-opportunity-to-scare-the-living-crap-out-of-anybody-in-order-to-point-out-the-decline-of-British-society Daily Mail.
Stainless Steel Klingon Blade

Won’t be much going on round these parts for a little bit as I’m moving this weekend then coming over to Blighty for a little two week jaunt.

These days I take lunch breaks. I’m becoming quite partial to them as well. You see, when you spend all your time staring at monitors and tapping keyboards hunched over like Richard III of the Interwebs, the odd hour or so away is a welcome diversion.
I only live a stone’s throw away from work, but [...]Fri, 25 Jul 2008 00:17:03 +0000
I have no technical nor functional description about the following other than it’s a metal wall/chair installation affair made from punched sheet.
Alas, the entire shaboodle hasn’t been pieced together as that was being done on site. So, you’ll just have to make do with the 40 or so pictures of the punched metal arrangement [...]Tue, 15 Jul 2008 23:12:35 +0000
Do you remember the time scrap metal buyers and dealers used to charge you to take away your crap scrap? (I’m thinking more along the lines of scrap car dealers to be fair, but one did tell me a few years ago (’95) when prices weren’t quite as keen as they are today that it [...]Thu, 10 Jul 2008 01:59:32 +0000
Australian sheet metal fabricator, Bevan George, is off to the 2008 China Olympics - Erm…Ripper!
Ah, the Olympics; the time when a whole country rallies its xenophobic tendencies while its subjects become experts/fans/screaming loons about sports that your average Joe was genuinely crap at even though it only ever amounted to the basics of chucking, running [...]Fri, 04 Jul 2008 14:32:24 +0000
Supersized press brake
Oh what a joy it is to be given the 4th of July off as a holiday. But, like this fella, I’d much rather be working than have to traipse three hours up the highway to attend some thoroughly cheesy family function, which this year involves some really spurious talent show. Oh, the [...]Wed, 02 Jul 2008 22:50:24 +0000
Do they mean an entire bus made from stainless steel?
So a European tour to learn the ins and outs of the uses of stainless steel in public transport. Maybe it’ll be a step up from sending the new lad to panel beating night school 101 at Nelson and Colne College. I’m sure Jasper will tell [...]Tue, 24 Jun 2008 00:50:58 +0000
There seems to be an awful amount of second guessing as to what Flickr founder Stewart Butterfield meant in his Yahoo! resignation letter. Although I think it’s quite apparent he’s being overtly metalphorical:
And if you’re wanting to drink The Tinbasher milkshake, Stewie, just give me a bell.
