Don't download this song
Weird Al has just released a preview track from his forthcoming album, Straight Outta Lynwood. It's on his MySpace site, along with another track which I believe won't make the album - You're Pitiful - which I now hear in my head whenever James Blunt is played at me.

Sparrowhawk
Today, a hawk took down a starling in the garden. I was glad it wasn't one of the more interesting / rarer birds!

Friday night
Playing with Lego NXT. Writing programmes with little icons on the iMac; downloading them via Bluetooth; driving motors, playing with sensors, trying to figure out these complicated new Lego parts... It's rather fun.
Albarino
The trendy wine of the moment! For once I am up to date with the in-crowd :) Not the cheapest - you need to go to Waitrose, or other posh shops apparently. But it's unusual and good. Waitrose now has a wine chiller thingy near the dessert wines, so I was able to chill this bottle rapidly (4 minutes) before taking it home.

the future of wireless sensor networks...
is one heck of a lot of wires.
Nonetheless, I'm chuffed - new dev kit to play with (from Ember), and plenty of different shades of red to admire.
