Even if the climate change denialists are right and humans and the fossil fuels we rely on are not the cause of climate change, continued reliance on fossil fuels is not likely to reverse the way the climate is heading, so it’s a good idea to move to low-carbon alternatives.

There you go … now I’ve blogged about it too.
But frankly, this is all it deserves.
Sometime last year, Jo White (aka @mediamum) wrote a series of tweets describing an object called a Snuggie.

Here’s what I reckon we should do.
If you have ever taken photos of kids in the bath or on the beach, shot a snap of your kids innocently vamping it up in an [...]
My three year old daughter, who is in pre-school, amazed me this morning.
I was eating toast and she paused her usual doodling and said “Daddy, I have spelled toast.”
And indeed she had: “ToST,” which is pretty damn good for someone her age.
When she showed this to her mother later in the morning, my six year [...]
I’ve signed some scary documents lately.
One, which I signed last night, declared that as I am now a Volunteer Under 7 Soccer Team Manager I have not ever been convicted of a child sex offense. If I have lied about this and am found to be a sex offender who comes within a mile of [...]
Click if you dare!
A good video.
I like the idea of nerds making their own Star Trek episodes.
Will Alan Moore disown the watchmen movie?
I like S3.
