OK, as an added bonus, I’ll give you the following (which share a theme)

Antigravity cats at Uncyclopedia

YouTube video about perpetual motion using buttered toast and a cat

or for the lazy…. this image…. oh, I’ll just edit the post and put the picture in

Fluffy kittens…. ("Igor!!" "Yeth mathta?" "Do we still have that van de Graaff generator in the dungeon?" "Yeth mathta!" "Good, then rig it up with a cat lure, a camera and a tripwire to do to a cat what is done to students in the videos here and here")

As to serving the needs of Blogburg, I am myself a bad servant, about as irregular as a badly impacted bowel. Nevertheless, in defence of the servant class, I find Blogburg to be a bad master if you allow it to be. Therefore, write for yourself, I say. The self-serving among us will follow, albeit irregularly.

It’s probably just as much a cost-saving measure as an environmental measure, because the expensive part is the separation. Amortize the costs of the new bins over their lifespan, and the councils would either be able to lower rates or improve services. But I’m only crunching the numbers in my gut there!

It’s not too late to repair the damage though. A couple of small experiments releasing info on other topics for Web 2.0 processing could give the masses the chance to prove ourselves trustworthy, which is the other side of the coin here.

I notice Nic Gruen linked to Club Troppo in his entry, which is a promising sign, as is Nic himself.

Also, the banner comp struck me as a good start, despite complaints elsewhere about expecting free labour. An odd argument coming from a blogger. Small, specific, mostly harmless challenges to begin is good.

Early days, but this looks a far more promising experiment than the last. Did you read Gruen’s piece about the products of Web 2.0 being the by-product of sociality? That man has a brain the size of a large planet.

With the global backlash it sparked, I think anyone else trying to pull a similar deal will do their darnedest to hide it.
