Welcome to katnoodle - online journal and scrapbook.

Everyone’s an expert when it comes to what Apple’s going to announce on the 27th so here’s my best guess…

10.1″ (one size only initially)
TabletOS (multitasking, running iPhone apps and ‘tablet’ apps)
Apps thru iTunes as per iPhone
USB2
Wifi
3g
hdmi (yeah right!)
80gb SSD / 160 SSD option + $250
2gb / 4gb memory + $100
$799 / £649

The windows version will have a floppy drive.

I am expecting something completely left field when it comes to input/ui. As to what it will be is pretty much anyone’s guess.

There, I’ve said it. That should ensure it contains few/none of the above features!

Probably the most influential figure in getting me into art and design.

Ultimately skilled as an artist, he always seemed so cheerful and relaxed presenting Vision On and Take Hart. Fond memories.

RIP Tony, your influence will live on and on.

I guess having your own children makes one more aware of this.

Saying this is a parents worst nightmare maybe clichéd, but that does not diminish how truly terrible this would be if it happened to your family.

Much as I emphasise with distressing events like this, like many people I would normally do nothing. But for whatever reason, that this is no longer headline news, that the case is closed unsolved, or others, we should not forget what happened here.

The findmadeleine.com website is a great place to start. There is plenty of information to refresh your memory and advice on how to help.

We should not forget Madeleine or be unaware of the countless other children that go missing each year and receive a fraction of the press coverage.

In our comfortable western lives we should maybe spend less time shopping and polishing the car and put a bit more time into sorting this kind of thing out.

Shame on the people who perpetrate these crimes against innocents - shame on us for not doing more to fix it.

I even have the same blue vinyl skateboard board from when I was a kid in the 70s.

I mean, when I was younger.

Hello? Hello?

Okay, new broom.

Time will tell.

In a shock move, three blokes in a pub in Somerset with no experience of tennis were asked to review last nights Masters final between Federer and Murray by the WTA, hours after the event finished. They have just issued the following statement…

“Having studied the game we decided that Federer played far too well. Especially towards the end of the game when he was often going outside the white lines and hitting loads of balls back over the net that Murray could not reasonably be expected to return.

“Therefore due to this unfair advantage, we have decided to retrospectively strip Federer of two games in each set. Which means that Murray won.

“Appeals are welcome but we won’t bother reading them.

Thanks.

The blokes in the pub.

– ENDS

The WTA and two of the ’stewards’ declined to comment however the third was quoted as saying “Sport? It’s got FA to do with sport mate, we just thought he was playing too well, and we can’t have that”

But of course this is just made up, sadly the current Formula One decision from the Belgium Spa Francochamps grand prix isn’t made up. What a bunch of monkeys. Couldn’t run a bath.
