I’ve been following Warren Ellis’ “The Sunday Hangover” over at Suicide Girls since it started. It’s always a small and entertaining thing to read and think about. A fragment from this week’s:

And, apparently, a great Cosmic Nothingness has been found. A void in space that’s a billion light years across – a significant chunk of the visible universe, in fact. Right now, as I type this, cosmologists and technologists are developing a perfect explanation of why we have dragged ourselves from the amniotic muck of early time, through a history rank with blood and horror, into an age of scientific marvels, striving to see through millions of years of old light and across the immense and jeweled universe itself – to look at a fucking great hole.

See, this is why I don’t have a fucking jet pack. “No, no, we need umpty million quid to look for fucking great holes, why on earth would we want to cure cancer, the common cold or Frenchness?”

And I heard of it late. I believe in the Sex Pistols!

Anthony Wilson, the Manchester music impresario who founded Factory Records and the Hacienda nightclub, died last night, aged 57, after a heart attack on Thursday. A leading light in the “Madchester” popular culture boom of the late 1980s and early 90s, he had been battling kidney cancer since early 2006.
The Salford-born journalist brought bands including Joy Division, New Order, the Happy Mondays and James to a wider audience. His record label’s pioneering approach to design and architecture also helped kick-start Manchester’s transformation into a European cultural centre.

Someone at Scans_Daily posted all the pages that featured Aaron Stack, Robot Hero to Men, Women and Children, on his latest appearance:

(Do yourself a favor, don’t read the comments)

(Eddie Campbell pointed)

Remember the Algorithm March video done by prisoners? They’re back!

(But this time, Kat pointed)

And they also do Radio Gaga!

A message to governments and corporations: please fund the fine gentlemen responsible for this work of beauty.

Go and take a look. Below the image there’s a video of the transformation.

Ah, robots.

(I think I saw it at Gizmodo, but I’m not sure. Anyways.)

After this brief moment of internettery, I return to the desk to work. Many things to do.

Blog will resume tomorrow.
