Have just discovered the city daily photoblogs, including:
Paris Daily Photo Blog, Edinburgh Daily Photo Blog and, of course, London Daily Photo Blog.

Through this last, I have discovered Pigeon Blog and some March of the Penguins links, including the March of the Penguins game.

"The second Holyrood Poetry Link scheme aims to celebrate the vibrancy of contemporary Scottish poetry, whilst providing an opportunity for Members of the Scottish Parliament (MSPs) to demonstrate their support for the arts.

Poets and MSPs met to explore issues of mutual interest and agree a theme or themes on which the poet would write." (Introduction to the project). The poems are on the Scottish Poetry Library website.

Docror Who is everywhere:

For me, the highlight of Simon Patterson's exhibition'High Noon' at the Fruitmarket Gallery was General Assembly, which filled the mezzanine floor of the Gallery and was particluarly poignant given the ongoing news furore about the War in Iraq and whether or not the Government should have waited for a further UN Resolution. Fiona Bradley describes the work in the catalogue:
"The work consists of 76 individual structures bolted to the wall. T one end of the installation, 50 of the structures are arranged like the keys of a classic Olivetti Lettera typewrite, each printed with one of the letters of the QWERTY keyboard, complete with return key and space bar. Around the other three sides, the remaining 26 structures are evenly spaced in a single line to spell out the classic learn-to-type sentence 'the quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog.' The structures are all blue - Ford blue - with the exception of the return key, which is Mercedes red, and the typeface in which the letters on them are printed in Univers 55." (Fiona Bradley, 'General Assembly' in Simon Patterson. High Noon. Edinburgh, Fruitmarket, 2005. ISBN 0947912886. p.10).
