Some amazing pictures here (page will take a while to render though) that make UFO stories so much more understandable. Assuming I haven’t been duped by excessive Photoshoppery: the ship heading towards the storm is something straight out of a special effects department.

Number 31. Now I might just have to find out what they sound like, but to be honest that secondary to what they’ve done:
“Murphy added that they had been contacted by a number of big record labels, including one who recently turned them down.”

What a useful program: found in the comments to a hint on MacOSXHints, this Preference Pane allows applications to be triggered on disc mounts and unmounts.
Great for launching backup software, such as iBackup when I insert my 1GB USB stick, so one further click will copy all my most essential passwords and documents to the device.
Sleep. Very nice. What was nicer was waking up in time to go and look for Comet McNaught and actually finding it in time, although I missed out on a better photograph due to running home to get my camera gear and the kids into their wellies to come and see it with me.
Colours are messed up (it was a nicer orange/blue sky) as I have attacked the image in Adobe Camera Raw to enhance the tail as much as possible (although you’ll have to trust me that I didn’t use an airbrush to really ‘improve’ it).
Shot on a Canon EOS 350D at 800ASA, 55-200mm lens at 200mm, f8 and 2s exposure.

Unsigned, and tipped to make the UK Top 40: not without plenty of hard work (500 live shows), but with a cracking quote:
“If someone comes along and gives us an offer, we’ll talk to them.
But it depends whether we need it. If we can get enough exposure and get in the top 40 by the end of the week, do we necessarily need a large label?”
Superb ! Sunday could prove to be very interesting.
