It suddenly occured to me that I almost never use delicious any more.

I was vaguely aware that they had a refresh some months back that involved splitting out the inbox feeds into constituent parts.

Well it turns out that the stuff left in my 'inbox' to which I was subscribed was, in fact, nothing.

So del.icio.us went silent. And I barely noticed. And then I stopped posting things and again I barely noticed.

Now I loved del.icio.us and got a lot out of it when it was working for me before. I kind of resent the way they implemented the changes. If they wanted to split out the feeds, the logical way to do it would have been to leave 'inbox' as was and then provide the seperate feeds, seperately.

So now I'm subscribed to my 'network' instead. I wonder if I can retrain myself to post things. I also wonder how many other people had the same experience and never bothered to rediscover it.

Rubbish.

Gordon Brown is planning a massive expansion of the ID cards project that would widen surveillance of everyday life by allowing high-street businesses to share confidential information with police databases.

So I saw another celebrity. Except it was Jay Leno again. He was filming some kind of spot outside the Tonight Show Studio. You can't see him in this picture so you'll have to take my word for it!

Scary building full of scary puppets.

Bob's Big Boy in Burbank as used in Heat. This is where they meet before the bank heist. Danny Trejo can't make it so they get the short order cook to be the driver.

Atrocious Apostrophe of omission

Apparently there is a debate about using apostrophes when pluralizing acronyms. Pah

Just some more public art. Outside Burbank Power and Water on Olive. Is it supposed to look like clouds on sticks? Hard to say.

Water and Power Skywalk

In all its neo-deco glory

Nice park for running around in. Not so hot for kites.

More Burbank public art. On Olive Avenue opposite the Warner Lot.

Burbank if full of shiny windows. Don't really see that many of them in England. Certainly not this clean anyway!

Neighbourhood watch squircle

I'm getting obsessed with this place. Shame the food is ropey!. Breakfast is nice I guess and they serve it all day.

Wanted this to be a squircle but there's too much missing from the bottom right.

Does this mean everything costs more than 99c?

On Olive Ave.

Another movie location near my house, this time from Back to the Future: Marty skateboards past a Burger King restaurant, then hitches a tow off the back of a passing truck. The sign has changed. Not much else has.
