Interesting media manager/player for Linux.

Looks like funny jokes on the BBC will have to be banned.

"REWIND is a research project that will provide a research resource that addresses the gap in historical knowledge of the evolution of electronic media arts in the UK, by investigating specifically the first two decades of artists’ works in video. There was a danger that many of these works might disappear because of their ephemeral nature and poor technical condition. The project will conserve and preserve them, and enable further scholarly activity."

New news site from Tina Brown. Looks good, reads okay.

Stream your iTunes Library to your iPhone, or your other computers, or to other users. Works just beautifully over WiFi, but you need the patience of a saint to use it over 3G. Very nice interface on the iPhone. One flaw: it took over an hour to scan my library, and when it had finished, only managed to find 10k of my 15k songs. (Update: it seems to be slowly adding more songs - up to over 11k now, so I'm guessing it'll have the lot eventually).

New-ish visual art magazine.

A QR code printing block! Brilliant.

Fuckers. I've been watching for as long as I can remember.

The Skinny as media partners? Way to tarnish your brand EIFF.

Excellent magazine, going by the pieces I've just read on HIV/AIDS in Jamaica, evangelist Pat Robertson and Ezra Pound's unlikely stint as a foreign correspondent.

Paisley Daily Express brands brainless twat a 'brainless twat'.

"The signatories below call on Gannett/Newsquest to abide by the assurances they provided to the Competition Commission hearing in 2003 on the transfer of The Herald, Sunday Herald and Evening Times and stop cutting jobs in these titles."

Looks interesting, though might take a bit of tinkering to get it to match VLC when it comes to handling various formats.

Seen in Private Eye's 'Eye Need' classifieds - delusional person believes he is being persecuted by MI5, Chris Tarrant, &c. (Probably shouldn't post this - my surname could be counted as 'evidence'.)

"With seven months to go to elections, Scotland's media are in crisis." Yip.

The Herald is launching a new digital edition: "A new facsimile edition of The Herald is launching later this month. It will be available anytime, anywhere, giving you on-screen access to all of the printed content every Monday to Saturday from 6am."

"1: Princess Diana Was Murdered. And somebody is responsible!"

Channel 4 News jump on the podcast bandwagon - the first 'cast is a special report by Jon Snow on cannabis and mental health. (Good stuff - my radio-addict ears cannot bear amateur podcasts, so this will join various BBC feeds in iTunes.)

Guy's piece - Voyeurism, Vaccuum, Death - is a corker.

Vote for your fave Daily Mail headline. Quite shocking if the Mail doesn't cross your path - most are only just shy of 'Send the Pakis home!' or 'Gyppos smell of wee!' (peppered with the occasional 'Princess Di was a motherfucking saint: LICK HER CORPSE!'

"Dedicated to the preservation of early recorded sounds"

For those who want an iMac in their living room?

A peek at the Beeb's telly download thing. Looks rather neat, but thoroughly Windowsy.

It appears that someone working to promote Cillit Bang left a spam comment on Tom's post about contacting his estranged father. A new low indeed.

Glasgow police projected a 60-foot image of the late Emma Caldwell onto a tower block. Not sure what to make of that.

Vidicast well my brothers

Er, hasn't everyone been using the term 'grief porn' for years? I know I have, and a quick Google throws up references from 2003.

'Toothing' started as a hoax.

I wonder what on earth would qualify you for the 'Most innovative interactive brand owner' award.

The Modern Toss signwriter in the wild!

Quotes a motion by Livingston SSP: "The central issue is the defence of a working class leader from attacks by the right wing press." Quite.

A look at the British media by Fox News' man in London - he's not happy, presumably unused to the idea of truth, dissent, investigation, etc. on the television.
