plasticbag : TechCrunch talks about Bravo Nation (a Yahoo! Brickhouse launch) and doesn't really get on with it terribly well - I've obviously played with Bravo and I think Arrington is missing something here. The service is, above all, characterful and fun. It's still developing but if it keeps that character as it goes I think it could easily find an audience.

plasticbag : "Mao and the art of management" from The Economist - Entertaining, insightful and gripping article on the 'success' of Mao's regime and how it correlates to large company management practice. Doesn't maybe sound sexy, but I really enjoyed it.

plasticbag : I'm loving the reviews for "There Will Be Blood", the new film from PT Anderson (of Magnolia fame) - "There Will Be Blood is, in fact, not a historical saga; rather, it's an absurdist, blackly comic horror film with a very idiosyncratic satanic figure at its core." Sounds awesome!

plasticbag : Saint Delia's recipe for Roast Turkey and Sage, Pork & Onion stuffing is, I can confirm, pretty decent... - It is not, however, better than her amazing recipe for Gammon. I bought a large ham the other day and cooked it on Christmas Eve for the Hammonds and Cal and it was great. Better cold. Lasts forever!

plasticbag : This is the recipe for the baked sugar-glazed whole gammon from Delia Smith - I can recommend this wholeheartedly. After your meal you're left with something that tastes and keeps enormously better than the packets of ham you buy in supermarkets to be used in sandwiches, pies etc.

plasticbag : Fascinating article on BBC News about the life that lives in tiny brine channels alongside ice crystals in the Arctic - And a really interesting tone of voice and more investigative stance for the piece as well than we normally see on the BBC's website. Really good. Classy. Worth supporting.
