    Yes, fair point. But interference aside, they knew that they wanted to show, didn't they?

    Please no one claim that Twin Peaks "made sense" - magnificent entertainment though, eh

    I have absolutely no doubt that it was carefully mapped in advance. And it made just as much sense as it needed to - much like, say, Lost Highway. I haven't seen so much as one minute of Lost so I can't compare.

    Isn't that exactly how Dickens and others wrote novels in serialised chunks?

    I was going to say that. Not Dickens books in which chapters 2 to 12 turn out to have been a dream, though.

    Dumas, on the other hand...

    Are you not on Twitter then? Because Twitter has this optional feature that helpfully sends you a text if you haven't tweeted anything for more than 24 hours. You'd love that!

    Whilst on that subject, I'll confess to objectively getting a whole lot out of the much vituperated Facebook.

    It might be clearer if they said the award was for bloggers who work for big media companies

    Somebody's gotta look out for them.

    A friend of mine

    He's the guy who did the animation for the Wreck of the Diddlley? That would be Joseph's favourite video. Serendipitious awesomeness of the Web strikes again.

    Have you gone and read all the back numbers of Bat Bean Beam?

    You're too kind. But seriously, there will be a test.

    But Mum! You haven't seen the gorgeously vivid Marvel Comics app on the iPad!

    Bring it next time you come to visit, dear, along with the soft nougat.

    Sure, but the Kobo doesn't show color in any light. I couldn't use it to read graphic novels unless I was happy for black and white only.

    I understand. And I wouldn't read a graphic novel on a backlit screen on any light - I'd do it on paper. So what's your point?

  • Hard News: Music's emerging digital market,

    This isn't really an e-book, more an app for the ipad, but it's pretty clever. I won't be in the market for one this year, but it does have a lot of scope for innovation in delivery of content.

    That's brilliant and coming close to the Stephenson's vision of the Primer in the Diamond Age.
