We arranged contents insurance yesterday. It
turns out that if Something Bad were to happen to our books or CDs,
we'd need to be able to itemise our losses. A tedious job perhaps,
but it will mean the production of a catalogue, something I've wanted
to have for quite some time. What's more, the Insurers To Be
suggested that we also take photos of the shelves so as to provide
some evidence that we really do possess these treasures. Aha,
I thought, digital camera!

The Register has always been fairy cynical about web-logging, and it's good to have pretensions pricked from time to time. This recent story of theirs adds more fuel to their fire. It appears that most loggers are teenage girls, clearly proving that it's a narcissistic waste of time.
I enjoyed this story from The Guardian. It's typically British in tone, and rather like The Register piece above: cynical and mildly amusing as well.
