By Edwin Morgan (1990).

"'The Loch Ness Monster's Song' is an example of a performance piece. It absolutely demands to be read aloud, and the way the lines are set out, the spelling, the punctuation are all devised – even if it might not seem so at first glance – to help the performance. It needs a bit of practice, but it can be done, and although I have recorded the poem myself on tape, I would not want to say that there is only one way of reading it. Anyone can have a go – and enjoy it. Whether the Loch Ness Monster really exists or not – there is no clinching evidence – I imagine the creature coming to the surface of the water, looking round at the world, expressing his or her views, and sinking back into the loch at the end. I wanted to have a mixture of the bubbling, gurgling, plopping sounds of water and the deep gruff throaty sounds that a large acquatic monster might be expected to make. How much meaning comes through the sounds? I leave that to you!"

This video shows Swedish designed collars for cyclists containing a folded airbag which activates when it detects an accident. Inflation takes about 0.1 seconds.

Apparently in testing they have been shown to be safer than traditional cycle helmets except for the case where the impact is really low speed.

Anyone who's using Lion with Time Machine and has an old NAS as a backup destination will have come across the issue with AFP using a new authentication protocol which probably isn't supported by the NAS.

(I have a not so old Buffalo Linkstation (LS-CH1.OLT) that still didn't work after updating to the latest firmware)

Anyway, I spent ages trying to get it to work until I came across this script which I'm re-posting as it was hard to find:

Basically, it hacks Lion to trick the new protocol into communicating with your old NAS.

More importantly, unlike the other workarounds I tried...it works!

Loveless, jobless and possibly terminally ill, Frank has had enough of the downward spiral of America. With nothing left to lose, Frank takes his gun and decides to off the stupidest, cruelest and most repellent members of society with an unusual accomplice: 16-year-old Roxy, who shares his sense of rage and disenfranchisement. From stand-up comedian and director Bobcat Goldthwait comes a scathing and hilarious attack on all that is sacred in the United States of America.
