Spot the human?

I have proof that David Cameron is in league with...

OK, let's look at the facts.

The image on the left was taken from a campaign poster. The image on the right, just a regular photograph. Spot the difference?

The one on the left, so smooth, almost plasticy. It's an auton replica!!

David Cameron is in league with the autons and is using at least one of them to help him out with his campaigning. Must be.

Or it's the result of over done make-up, or even a photoshop job.

Nah.

It's the end, but the moment had been prepared for.

I had most of the end of 2009 off work, and happily spent it with my lovely wife and son. And we did have a nice time.

Things I have not been doing included:

• Blogging


• Decorating


• Reading discussion forums

So... anything happen over Christmas? The main thing, according to the BBC was the finalé of the Russell T Davies era of Doctor Who. I don't think the climax to a TV series had ever had so much build up. The two-parter over christmas seemed to be the now traditional series finale and the Christmas episode.

I enjoyed it. I thought the end was overblown and self-indulgent, but I enjoyed that too. Russel and David had certainly earned that self indulgence.

So, for Doctor Who, it's the end of an era. Wonder what the new one will be like?

New year's resolutions

I'm still deciding what they are.

I have several options.

One is to avoid spending too much money in the vending machine at work. Easier said than done, but a lot easier than other options.

Another is to get a grip of my reaction to stressful situations. Also a toughie.

A third is to develop a more relaxed attitude to ignorance and cynicism. Knee jerk cynicism is not the same as intelligent scepticism. It's a corrosive attitude. We need more sceptics and fewer cynics in my view.
