Scott Douglas: A Canny place for a pint
Loving this post about the Canny Man’s, a pub in Morningside, Edinburgh, where I spent more than a few glorious evenings as a student Back In The Day.

Great pic of the Canny Man’s miserable welcome sign. Cracking pub, really.

- Cheek by jowl
It’s rare you step out a football ground to be afforded a fine view of tonight’s dirty dishes in someone’s kitchen sink, but that’s what away fans at Kenilworth Road, Luton, get as they embark down a steep (and rather slippy) staircase.
This is the view out the back of the away end, behind one goal [...]
- Facebook’s a nuisance, isn’t it?
We always knew that Facebook had the capacity to turn into a right pain in the arse. All those emails to tell you there were emails waiting for you, and the friend requests and the spammy events invites and the poker invites and the quiz likeness challenges… you couldn’t deny that Facebook overcame the old [...]

Notebooks.com: MacBook Air: Hands on at MacWorld
“The MacBook Air is impressively thin, but Apple’s asking users to make too many trade offs.” Hmm - no mention of the battery, which would be my main gripe. I don’t need oodles of USB ports or rip-roaring performance in my laptop.

- Teaching journalism new tricks (and keeping a few old ones too)
There’s been quite a stooshie around journalism training and education these last few days. Paul Bradshaw had posed the question: “how important is it students have a blog?” I’d replied, in comments, that it was pretty important. A student with a blog shows they can (or can’t) write unedited. It shows they have motivation, and [...]

DIGtrends: The Digital Tipping Point is Imminent
“The fundamental shift in the way in which we consume and interact with media has now tipped the scale from the after thought of “supporting Web information” to primary online content.”
