I'm going to be on the Naked Scientist podcast (hosted by Up All Night's very own Dr Chris Smith) spending 5 mins or so talking about technology - it's now a regular(ish) monthly thing. If you are in the Cambridge area you can hear it on 大象传媒 Radio Cambridge on Sunday, otherwise you can download the show as a podcast.

BTW This week's very belated podcast of Pods and Blogs is available here. It's shorter than usual because of the US Nomination race and as it was orginally broadcast 0230 08/01/08 some of the content is dated.

What do you give the man who has everything for a Well perhaps a chance to indulge himself making a fun video speculating about his last day at the office isn't a bad suggestion. Bono, Clooney Hillary, Obama, Gore and a bunch of Microsoft execs make it into the retirement video parody Gates played , the result is better than you might expect.

Prepare for n remixes of this online, where n is a large random number.

I'm a subscriber to a London Ambulance dispatcher's blog: it's highly recommended reading. His perspective on the fire at the is fascinating:

The response of callers was an interesting insight into human nature. I must admit I quite liked having a 鈥榩roper鈥� answer to the 鈥榳hy isn鈥檛 the ambulance here NOW?鈥� type questions. Terribly sorry, but we鈥檙e having difficulty finding someone to deal with your bellyache because there鈥檚 a hospital full of critically ill cancer patients on fire and we鈥檙e out SAVING LIVES like we鈥檙e meant to. Not everyone knew about the fire, and some people were incredibly apologetic. One woman, a perpetually drunk regular caller, seemed absolutely mortified when I told her, and was silenced for the first time in her entire life. Others were understanding and offered to make their own way to free up ambulances for the fire. Others, on the other hand, made me sick to the core with their selfishness. 鈥淚 don鈥檛 care about the fire, what about me? You have to get here NOW.鈥�
