Blogging Bollywood: Krrish review
Krrish stars the musclebound and supremely flexible green-eyed hunk Hrithik Roshan as a feral, mountain dwelling superman. He wears the expression of a gay woodland sprite, startled at every turn by his own special powers. He hangs out with a gang of children and his grandmother, a grey haired, bespectacled old lady played by the regal Rekha...

Show Us a Better Way
This competition to come up with ways of using public data from the UK government's horrendously titled Power of Information Taskforce seems like a good idea. They've made "gigabytes" of new data available to the public. But a brief glimpse......

A friendly, avuncular character, he riffed his way easily through the introductory speech, cracking jokes about his aunt and the chance to win tickets to Winnipeg....
