I know that when you think of weblogs, you don’t also think of segues, but here goes one:

In 1989, a video hacker managed to override the Chicago PBS station’s broadcast of ‘Dr. Who’ for 90 seconds - and replace it with entertainment of his own design. Elsewhere on the tvparty site, you can hear William Shatner tell a sound engineer “Don’t tell me how to do it. It sickens me.” Space Ghost used the same line this week. A boom boom boom boom, Space Ghost!

So you’ve found out about pollution sites near your house from the EPA. Now, find out about your local crime rate courtesy of the ABP data center.

Cult TV timelord Dr Who is returning for the first time in more than three years with an entire evening of programmes being screened in his honour. Woo hoo! I wonder if BBC America plans on carrying it any time soon.

I’ve said it once, and I’ll say it again: This American Life is a fine, fine piece of work. On my public radio station, I listen to it at 9pm on Sundays. Of course, you may find it at a different time. Even better, .you can listen to all the shows via Real Audio.

Yowsers! Road repair crews in Kenya used gravel from a local gravel pit to pave the roads. This happens all over the world, I imagine. Trouble was, the rock at this gravel pit had a high amount of Thorium 232, and now up to 25,000 people have to be checked for radiation poisoning.

Noise Between Stations is a newish weblog worth keeping an eye on.

Front row seats at a fantastic BeauSoleil show immediately followed by a brand-new Space Ghost Coast to Coast (featuring special guests Hanson) was a best possible way to end a most stressful week. It’s a shame I can’t do that whenever I want.

Ted “Unabomber” Kaczynski has been trying to recind the uilty plea his lawyers entered for him since day one. Now, the court has agreed to hear his request. If the judge finds his rights were violated, a trial would happen with Ted acting as his own defense.

Of the seven wonders of the ancient world, only the pyramids of Egypt remain. However, by the 2004 Olympics, the Colossus of Rhodes may get rebuilt.

Going to see BeauSoleil tonight. Of course, they’re only the best Cajun band in the world. I’m quite excited.
