Random Ideas for the week 15 Oct 07
Welcome to our Rough Notes for 15th Oct O7 This section is our virtual journalists' notepad. It’s the place where we sketch out our initial thoughts and set down random ideas and rough jottings for Saturday’s programme. We'll tear off a new sheet of internet paper at the start of every week and we invite you to scrawl your thoughts in the comments.
So for this week here are some of the stories that caught our attention:
, how do magicians use the law to protect their secrets? (Rupert)
FiFi dropped a note in the comments to with a story, "Don't die on a Sunday" - about how hard it was to get morphine for terminally ill patients on a Sunday - and more besides... (Rupert)
The Templar. Not entirely sure what we'd do on this, but it's a great tale. (Rupert)
A piece . Could we collect memories of our lost railway heritage? (Chris)
Hack your lifestyle. I like and . Perhaps there's a discussion to be on "life hacking" (Chris)
Now I 've lost the link for this one so perhaps you can help, but I remember reading about a mum who was blogging efforts to get her child to eat more vegetables. Seemed like a topic we'll all have an opinion on (Chris)
Shipping ? (we're not sure about this it might be a bit old) (Marc) UPDATE on Tues at 4pm from Marc. It turns out that East London already has a development of shipping containers converted into homes. I need to look into this more to see if it's worth pursuing. UPDATED UPDATE on Weds at 3.30pm from Marc. The company in East London doesn't want to play ball with iPM, while companies involved in the work outside of the UK are proving elusive. This item might need reconsidering.
OK it's a bit thin this Monday - so we really need your help.
What do you know about any of these stories?
Can you point us to a great blog or a website that would really add to our knowledge and help us tell the story?
Do you have ideas for other stories we ought to be looking into?
Although we won't broadcast anything yet, we'll post some interviews here - and I may use them on Pods and Blogs.
