Tudor Mateescu has made a video of the process.

Thought-provoking: The rape of Mr Smith.

Droolable 110 dogs, a collection of beautiful black and white photos of dogs.

Useful: Multi Column Category List Plugin for WordPress by Dagon.

Creative fun: The Amy Sedaris craft challenge on Flickr – make food come alive with googly eyes!

T-shirt fun Must find or make a copy of Veerle’s t-shirt for my niece’s birthday.

Unexplained mysteries: Police in a Wiltshire village have been trying to get to the bottom of an underwear mystery. Only on the BBC.

Rugby woes: Wales lose to Ireland. Dammit.

Much loved music: Paul Weller sings English Rose and in a duet with Amy Winehouse singing I Heard It Through the Grapevine. Ms Winehouse is doing strange things with her frock. Best to set it to play then go off and just listen.

That’s it, I’m off to snuggle up in a nice warm bed. Night, night.

Current favourite is “bald-headed yogurt slinger” but I have hours of research to complete still.

In fact, I’m so busy guffawing at that list that I’ll just gather together a hodge-podge of links collected from here, there and everywhere then love you and leave you.

Zirrus is a nifty little online to-do list manager. All very ajaxy and web 2.0.

For WordPress bloggers, Slickr Gallery is a

bandwidth-friendly AJAX photo gallery plugin for WordPress. It allows you to pull your Flickr-hosted photos into a gallery section of your blog, as well as easily add Flickr-hosted images to your posts and pages. It is especially useful for people with many Flickr albums/photos. Slickr Gallery needs a Lightbox plugin to work properly.

A lovely photo of an umbrella by Ana.

If you have more than a handful of domain names to manage, the domain log book might be useful. Cough, Lionel, cough.

And because it’s Friday, a collection of cute puppy and kitten pictures from Warren Photography.

In case you missed it, Eddie’s baaaaaaaack!

And finally

Gia and Mark have posted the (previously) toppest of top secret trailer for Danny Boyle’s new film, Sunshine. Sadly non captioned but it looks a cracking good film and will definitely mean a second trip to the cinema this year (the last time was to see the disappointing-even-though-Kevin-Spacey-is-in-it K-PAX).

At the sight of a wheelie bin heading down the road at great speed I got her back on the lead and hotfooted it back to the warmth and safety of the house.

Anyway, on with the links.

Weekend fun

Weekend crafts

That’s me done. I’ve a long list of blogs over there to visit and a blogger rehabilitation program to attend…
