Spotted on my way home from work, an AA man repairing an AA lorry. There was an AA van behind him as well. Poor photo I’m afraid but it was taken on my phone through the car window.

The US Navy Band have made MP3s sort of available for quite a few national anthems. It’d be super if they were available under a creative commons license, rather than this one: “The music files on this website are intended for official use by Department of Defense and U.S. government offices only. Exceptions to this policy will be considered on a case-by-case basis”.

And some of these bugle calls would make cheesy ring tones.

We had every intention of spending Sunday at Fruitstock, but it didn’t happen. We jumped on the train and headed off to see Heather, and Heather’s pad in SE17, and we thought we’d then go over to Fruitstock. But it turned out there was a festival just down the road from her in Burgess Park. It seemed only right and proper to check it out, so we ended up spending the day at Carnaval del Pueblo (“the largest Latin American event in Europe”). A couple of beers, lots of food and lots of food choice, four stages… yeah, it’s a good good thing.

  

Some photos from this mornings Pride Parade.

I was listening to Andy Budd‘s Web 2.0 talk from last years d.construct conference this morning on my way in to work and followed up on a few of the sites he mentioned as being good examples of Web 2.0.

One of the sites, ononemap, looks like it would be a really useful aid to finding a house to buy, especially if you know the area you’re interested in as it overlays the properties for sale on top of google maps.
