Each year I think about going to Glastonbury Festival. Each year I spectacularly manage to forget all about it and find out that tickets sold out within hours of becoming available, a week previously…
Each year, there seems to be the threat of rain or some other extreme weather, and this year is no exception. A friend forwarded me a picture from Getty Images of some tents washing away - it looks terrible.
Read the BBC’s coverage of the floods at Glastonbury Festival 2005.
Perhaps some entrepreneur will come up with the ultimate in sleeping comfort for the next (2007) festival - inflatable tents…

An article on thisiswiltshire.co.uk reveals that TV production company Darlow Smithson are planning to create a full-scale model of Stonehenge in a secret location in Wiltshire for a TV programme which will be aired live on the UK’s Channel 5 on June 20th and 21st (summer solstice) from 9pm.
This really will be something when it is complete. It will be magnificent to see a full-scale model of Stonehenge at its final monumental stages (i.e. when Bronze Age people stopped reconfiguring the stones). Perhaps I will have more to say about it after the programme (hint - see if you can spot me!).
[Update] The Megalithic Portal has some more information about the model supplied by Mike Pitts and about the thinking behind it.

Apple announced at the WWDC conference on Monday 6 June that it would be using Intel CPUs in forthcoming Macintosh computers from 2006. How might this affect the future of the Mac and OSX?
At about 6.30pm GMT, Steve Jobs announced on stage at WWDC that the rumours were true. Apple were moving the Mac platform to Intel CPUs, beginning now. A brave move.

A nice chap called Nigel Kersten has written a nifty little widget for Apple OSX Tiger’s Dashboard called RapidMetaBlog. It’s nicely designed, in terms of look and functionality. Panes slide out from the compact widget, allowing plenty of space to write your post (I’m writing this in it), and another pane slides out from the post to show a preview.
RapidMetaBlog supports categories, essential functionality if you like to keep a tight structure on your blog. When writing your post, you have to use HTML, but for simple jottings, it’s very handy indeed. All you need is paragraph tags (remember to close them!), and perhaps an href here and there. You can’t insert images at this time (unless they’re already online, and you know the URI), but then this is supposed to be a widget, not a full-featured weblog editor like Ecto or MarsEdit.
I’ll post some screenshots later.
You can download RapidMetaBlog from Nigel’s blog or from Dashboard Widgets.
