Saw both nephews this weekend. They’re on the verge of talking full-time now, and have already mastered calling me names.
(Not sure why the thumbnails are upside down. The video’s the right way up though.)
Sometimes a photo tells the whole story: ”Torn election posters of French President and UMP candidate Nicolas Sarkozy are seen in Paris Sunday, May 6, 2012. France voted in a presidential run-off election Sunday expected to see Socialist challenger Francois Hollande defeat incumbent Nicolas Sarkozy by capitalizing on public anger over spending cuts and a Europe-wide push for austerity.” Sarkozy has conceded defeat in the election, wishing his opponent “good luck.” (Photo by Francois Mori/AP)
One of the best pictures you’ll see today - a praying mantis photobombing a snapshot of a spider. (Click the picture for the story behind the photo.)
Uploaded a few wedding pictures to my Flickr, including some of MC Piñata, Mr Josh Heller, who was completely brilliant enough to come all the way to London from LA to attend.
Turned over by chance to see the scene in The Bourne Identity that’s set in the square we’re staying in. The apartment we’re in now is just in shot; top-left of screen. #Paris (Taken with instagram)

Tweets
- @HackneyDoula 1) nice table 2) nice view outside?
- @McGuinnessRoss You're going to get some very interesting Google ads.
- @RosamundUrwin And I remember seeing something about kayaking hire on Regent's Canal. (Oh..canal boat hire too.)
- @RosamundUrwin Higher budget/effort but you can do red letter day-style speed boat trips down the Thames.
- @PAINTERCOM @rhjames164 Nice, thanks Bret.
- @Tom__Cullen James Franco would have been a better choice than Leonardo DiCaprio, and you know it.
- @Tom__Cullen Ha, everyone should add 'thanks for listening' on tweets.
- @stuartdredge @brucedaisley for promoted tweetiness.
- @olly_richards Same issue applies to websites though, like the Amanda Knox verdict. Should be same standards as a website news ticker.
- @olly_richards I think it is, though. It's not just observation. Personal accounts, more so perhaps, but not necessarily with news brands.
- @olly_richards Do you still say you hate mobile phones?
- 'Twitter isn't journalism. It's instant. The website is journalism. The paper is journalism' says @MirrorFootball https://t.co/Sk4A9L4LMay 24, 12 from web Reply, Retweet, Favorite

Status
- Just trimmed my beard for the last time as an unmarried man.
- From my brother, if anyone's interested (or knows of somebody): "Need to recruit an entry level Video editor at Digital Spy if anyone knows someone suitable? The role will involve filming and editing (Final Cut Pro) lots of fun interviews and stuff....."
- Me: "Hi, yeah, police? There's a 20-man gang fight outside our window, a lot of them have bats and one of them has a gun." Police: "Do you know what kind of gun? Pistol or rifle?" Me: "From playing Call of Duty, I'd say it's very similar to a beretta." Cue Hannah crying and howling with laughter for 10 minutes, and the 999 operator joining in.
- Comment under a Sigur Ros song I just listened to on YouTube: 'Someone maliciously ran over my dog just a few hours ago. This video has put me at peace. Thank you.'
- Oh NICE. The @Nytimes has made a great new brand page with full history of the paper. http://www.facebook.com/nytimes
- Sigur Ros trending on Twitter. They're releasing a new album in spring & will play Bestival in Sept, so presumably tour soon. A great, great day.
