The Great Secret

Catherine, Alfred, Frederick, Alexander, All Great, All Dead, What was it that kept them there? Were they born that way, or was it thrust upon them, like an premature epitaph? Did they fight the good fight? Did they protect what was pure, what was right? Did they endure a generation of pain, For an extra two words after their name? Did history exalt them as what was pure, what was right? Or was it history itself that their power let them write? Greatness is as greatness does, Thrust, Born, Stolen, Ignored. It never was about who was right, as it was who was left.

The Pinboard

Welcome to The Pinboard, Sunday 3rd April... ish. This week was incredibly hectic and tiring (welcome back Mufkin!), and I did far too much work. Not much to post at the moment - might have something for you tomorrow. Don't forget to check Phoenix Publishings, where the latest Easter issue has just come out, and while you're at it check out WingTune's rendition of Dancing Queen. I think Boing Boing's comment about the hamster and the poker was spot on. Link-heavy? You bet. Eff Seven has decided to hook itself into webculture a little firmer now. Enjoy - and thanks for reading. Site Of The Week The Holy Lemon - Ever wondered where all those funny emails, videos and pics come from? Probably here.

"Life isn't just about passing on your genes. We can leave behind much more than just DNA. Through speech, music, literature and movies... what we've seen, heard, felt ...anger, joy and sorrow... these are the things I will pass on. That's what I live for. We need to pass the torch, and let our children read our messy and sad history by its light. We have all the magic of the digital age to do that with. The human race will probably come to an end some time, and new species may rule over this planet. Earth may not be forever, but we still have the responsibility to leave what traces of life we can. Building the future and keeping the past alive are one and the same thing."

Number Two - The local press have an irritating capacity to use their right to Free Media. And you friends and relations have an irritating capacity to use their email and digital camera facilities.
