- Lost is moving to Sky One That's pretty much going to completely irritate a couple of million people. Television is so bloody confusing and irritatingly designed.
- British and American engineers have created a cloak that bends microwave radiation around an object... Evidently it makes the object 'invisible' in the microwave part of the spectrum. The principles could be used to make something invisible at the visible level too, but the technology to implement such a thing is years away...
- Make fridge magnets out of MOO cards! Close personal friend of mine, Meg of Meish, demonstrates her extraordinary creativity and use of MOO-related paraphenalia to decorate her fridge with astonishing classiness and a copy of John Peel's autobiography...

Actually, we've decided that to stay sane it's best to watch LOST episodes two at a time, at fortnightly intervals. Then you don't have quick such a continuous stream of cliffhangers...

Yes Moo cards. Break one big image down into a 100 fragments each with a URL on the back - post out to users with instructions (on back) to come together to reassemble image either in person or online. Variation: Image could be a hi def map with geocaching instructions for treasure ...
