Right on. From the Guardian:

The director of public prosecutions, Sir Ken Macdonald, put himself at odds with the home secretary and Downing Street last night by denying that Britain is caught up in a “war on terror” and calling for a “culture of legislative restraint” in passing laws to deal with terrorism.

Sir Ken warned of the pernicious risk that a “fear-driven and inappropriate” response to the threat could lead Britain to abandon respect for fair trials and the due process of law.

Read “There is no war on terror”.

Hmmmmm. I saw my accountant today. Exciting stuff, getting my freelance business started up formally. But enough about me, here are some links for you:

• Super Mario War - awesome free and open source game for Mac, Linux and Windows
• “I’m Talin” - music from a cardboard box being destroyed by a two-year old- beautiful and inspiring limited-sampling electronica
• Franklin Furnace fund - grant money for projects by emerging performance artists.
• Hit the Air Running - an open audio/visual jam led by Benton-C Bainbridge at Eyebeam on January 23rd. For those who know SHARE jams, this will be a more performative jam structured to keep the energy up, i.e., a nice change of pace, I think. Free and open to the public for particiment and enjoymenpation.
