#[linkfarm] Love It Or Hate It - I know I’m asking you to watch a half hour video of a man in a suit talking about death. The difference is that this is fairly entertaining, it will certainly give you an insight into how health impacts on the wider population. There is at least one laugh in there and he does get very angry (though only for a second).
My chum Daz suggests you watch a talk given by Sir Michael Marmot on "Big Society, Fairness and Public Health". He's right. You should.

#[linkfarm] Tory peer: bus drivers and waitresses 'unimportant' - Lord Lang told MPs he would be prepared to accept a "lay member", but added that is should be someone "who had experience and proven success in a relatively important profession or trade – somebody who had achieved distinction – rather than a waitress or bus driver."

#[linkfarm] Rules For Games: Do & Don’t #1 - Do: let me flush the toilets and turn on the taps. Scenery, in any game of any genre, shouldn't be painted on the walls. And so many games before have put in a nice toilet flushing noise. Since all games do insist in including a toilet, as well they should, then all games should include the splishy sploshy noise of flushing it.
Amen, brother. Amen.

#[linkfarm] Rules For Games: Do & Don't #3 - You work so hard, for so many months, and by the time your game is done you just feel nothing but contempt for your potential customers? “How many saves shall we allow in the PC version? We’ve got room for infinity of them.” “THREE. And store them in the Recycle Bin.”

#[linkfarm] Big society tsar Lord Wei - It could become the allegory of the "big society" age. The man appointed by the prime minister to kickstart a revolution in citizen activism is to scale back his hours after discovering that working for free three days a week is incompatible with "having a life".

#[linkfarm] Respect Due: former 2000AD editor Steve MacManus - Steve stayed at Egmont, continuing an unbroken stint in editorial that stretched back to 1974. But in April this year he's moving on in pursuit of other opportunities. So I thought it was worth showing Steve some respect for all he did at 2000AD.

#[linkfarm] Custom Lego Sets - One particularly nice feature is that you can build a personal inventory of lego sets and parts. You can browse sets, ticking off those that you own, and the site builds a database of the various parts that make up the sets. When you’re browsing a set you don’t have you can also click “try to build” and the service will run the set inventory through the list of parts you own, and let you know whether you have all of the required parts, if you have any of the right part but in the wrong colour, or which parts you’re missing.
