See no evil.

• NewsTechnica: "Free books for everyone," advertise publishers; Last Supper of Christ "happened in tenth dimension"; Virgin Media to sell 1.5 gigabit Internet to complete cocks; British girls' drinking culture just not up to scratch.

It's Easter break! And Freda is being a LITTLE TERROR. The ice cream pushers are hovering around the playgrounds, and of course she wants one. And turns into a crack-addled screaming horror within an hour. Doesn't do this at home. My mum says I wasn't like this after having an ice cream, so this is all original. I have taken to telling her that if she starts screaming I will leave her there and go home, which seems to work.

I have written new NewsTechnica for the first time in months. Because I just happened to damn well feel like it. (And updated the sidebar with "Top stories for 2010".) Don't get used to it.

(The publishing one is particularly apposite in that I am contemplating an excellent Bad Idea that involves dealing with artists. I know precisely how the record industry destroyed itself, and good fucking riddance; but I'm puzzled that it is actually possible for any author whatsoever to make cash directly from ebook publishing, even if they're just writing pulp. Why haven't books gone straight to zero the way records have? More in a later post, which some of you will have a draft of in your email.)

Another go at Pembury tomorrow likely. Anyone else?
