A rather attractive worm game.

Baghdad Burning – a new Iraqi blog. Looks like it should be worth reading. via Stuart, who, correctly I believe, predicts much fuss about this site in the next few days.

Apparently, the author of this weblog is female, according to this gizmo. Wrong-o. (via Marcia).

Food for thought:

• Forty years ago this week, 250,000 people marched on and rallied at the Lincoln Memorial in Washington DC to demand equal rights for America’s black citizens. There they heard Martin Luther King deliver his "I have a dream" speech, one of the greatest orations in modern history. (BBC coverage of the anniversary). Undoubtedly, this event had a profound impact on public and government opinion, and, along with the other events and protests that took place during that time, led to real change.
• In February this year, somewhere between three and eight times as many people marched in London against the war in Iraq. (BBC coverage). Other rallies and marches were held across the UK and around the world. In terms of sheer numbers of people, these events dwarfed King’s March for Freedom. Yet did they really make any difference?

Meanwhile, woo and yay, as Brighton sign a very good striker and go top of Division 2. Sporting news is good round our way.

Yay, although it’ll never last.

Oh, and there is a medium length report on my laptop. When I can be arsed…

Am pissed as fart. Incomplete report promised for the morning. In the meantime…. bzzzzzzzzzz.

Too tired to write here. And lots of work things to think about.
But Alphen aan den Rijn is a pleasant if unexciting small town, the centre of which we explored this evening, concentrating our explorations on a tapas restaurant by the river. I’m full.

Been busy at the Plantarium exhibition today. Back there tomorrow. I’m pooped.
