An insight

"An invisible illness is one that isn't readily apparent to the people who don't have it. Two factors contribute to a disease's invisibility"...

Good days, bad days, and invisibility

 

Perhaps there is a God

Neil Gaiman is doing an episode of Doctor Who!!!

I can not express how excited I am

My mind is quite literally Blown!

"I don't know what it's like to be God - obviously," Gaiman said in an interview with the BBC. "Until that very first moment when you get to sit down and type the words in your script: INTERIOR. TARDIS

Fun with the Law

Mark Thomas has some fun with the police and the laws of video footage

I love the way he does things calmly and with a smile

Mark Thomas

Sexiest Male Act Ever!

I have never seen a male show that has actually turned me on.

This on the other hand is Something else entirely!

David O'mer is sex on silks

It is also a first rate Web/Silk work act and a wonderful use of a bath

 

And just for a closer glimpse

 

La Clique is definately a show I would love to see when they next come back to Britain.

A multitude of wonderful acts

"A heady cocktail of cabaret, new burlesque, circus sideshow and contemporary variety"

I will also look out for their featured acts on tour as well.

A wonderful night out me thinks

'Swiss Army knife' bathroom

 

"It looks like an art installation inspired by a hi-tech corkscrew or Swiss army penknife.

But this is no ornament or sculpture. It is, in fact, the world's first fold-up vertical bathroom.

Called the Vertebrae"

This is so cool. 

A wonderful mixture of practicality, technology and design.

I love gadgets and in particular space saving innovations. I would definitely have like to have had this on my boat. Or as a way of adding an en-suite to a guest room.

Shiny!

Greg Laswell - Your ghost NEW SONG

This was the song I originally sought

Somewhat maudlin, but beatuiful

Beautifully haunting

and somehow comforting

You know...I think I could go for being a "Doll" for a while...

You know...I think I could go for being a "Doll" for a while...

If it wasn't for the pervy clients and hideous corporate greed of the company running things

I worship the WhedonVerse and although Dollhouse is not my favourite work of his (Firefly obviously!), it is clever, interesting and certainly brings up many, often awkward, ideas. 

And many ideas Joss was unable to pursue due to he networks control-Boo!

I recommend watching it through the two seasons, it gets really good at the end.

I came across this just now while searching for another song on the show.

Such a beautiful video

Like the old style Macabre Circus's 

Reminds me of when I nearly ran of with the Circus

This is probably the best lady in box trick I've seen

This is one of the cleverest robots I have seen to date

The way it moves does give me the willies though

South Park creators warned over Muhammad depiction

Islamists have warned the creators of TV show South Park they could face violent retribution for depicting the Prophet Muhammad in a bear suit.

 

The posting gave details about a home Stone and Parker reportedly co-own.

It also listed the addresses of their production office in California and the New York office of South Park's broadcaster, Comedy Central.

 "This is not a threat, but a warning of the reality of what will likely happen to them," it added.

World gone Mad

South Park takes the piss out of everyone and everything

This kind of reaction is totally over the top and only serves to encourage and incite violence. 

It also gives Muslims a bad name.

It also shows Budda snorting cocaine, can't wait to see it!

Porn for the Blind

This came up on "Have I Got News For You?" and I had to look it up

It's not exactly what I would call sexy! But it is a start.

I had never thought about this before, despite working with and knowing visually impaired people. But it's an obvious idea now, and I hope that people will be inspired to produce more work.

Porn for all!

(except children)

Produced by photographer Lisa Murphy

 

"We live in a society that is much sexualized - just look at advertising," she said by telephone from her Toronto home. "But if you can't see then you are probably not aware of how sexualized it is."

"And I believe that vision-impaired people have been (wrongly) left out of the experience."

"Or course, anyone can find it erotic, not just the vision-impaired," Murphy added.

The book, entitled "Tactile Mind," features pages made of thermoform plastic - the same material used for Braille.

Each page contains raised images of naked men and women in various poses, some wearing masks or in suggestive bondage, along with titillating phrases in Braille.

How to Feel Happy

Robin Williams

I watched an old show of his the other week and this recent one tonight.

He is absolutely brilliant

We would have a much better world if he were President

My cheeks and sides are sore, my belly is warm and my spirits lifted

I highly recommend you watch it
