I won't say anything cos i don't mean it, won't make a promise cos I won't keep it, believe me now I'd only lie to you.

I spent my time collecting all the scars and I know, i'm lying but the truth is in your charm, I hope down inside I can't be what im not.

Well i've said that thought a thouasand tinmes, i believe in something I can't find, so belive me now i'd only lie to you.

Now won't you say something, please say something, and believe me now, I'd only lie to you.

Today is Tom's 30th birthday, so i'll be in Norfolk all weekend. Miss me.

At last night's bloggers meetup were:

Errol Elliot (also of it's ealing) with his wife(?) Martina and baby Daniella.

Thayer and Andy from UMS, who were a little drunk but still talked about blogchalking, and how great whelk is.

James Carlyle from Calaba (not a weblog) and simon perry (who also writes about broadband), who argued about MMS and synthetic video in a fairly animated way.

Urm, my memory is much worse than i thought - thanks to webb for clearing some things up.

The silly silly guardian is having a weblogging competition. What makes one weblog better than another? Well, who cares, as long as we win.

Weebl has updated his pie animation for bastille day.

This site has the lyrics to all the pixies songs, including translations.

Make your weblog more accessible. Like by having our new 404 page.

"Twenty-eight days... six hours... forty-two minutes... twelve seconds. That... is when the world... will end."

BBC copies pixelflo (sort of) with playable cult trumps.

Sand sculptures are cool. My sand-castles were never this good. Not even close.

Whelk is now available to buy.

It's a book containing the best of Upsideclown from the last two years. This means it is very very good. You have absolutely no excuse not to buy it.
