What is in Kelvin's Head?

It’s Time and It’s Today!

04/02/2014

Huge excitement today as the Equal Marriage bill comes to the Scottish Parliament for a final vote.

I’ve been involved in this campaign pretty much from the beginning, speaking at Pride, marching, organising, listening, distributing materials, writing, cajoling, chatting on TV and Radio, preaching and generally getting people to think about it.

A hugely proud day for Scotland and a campaign and a movement that I’ll never forget.

One of the things that a lot of people won’t know is that many of the original signatures on the petition that kicked all this off came from students on campus at the University of Glasgow and many of them were gathered by members of the LGBT group at St Mary’s.

Well, the campaign is just about over. It’s time and it’s today!

Thanks Tim. I found google sky already. Indeed, it was one of the things that persuaded me.

Now I can see the constellations in the city! Indeed, now I can see the constellations in my bedroom.

SlideIT – easier way to enter text. Good fun, the predictive side of it can be a bit of a pest so do re-read what you’ve written, although there is the facility to go back to simple ABC input.
Enjoy the ‘phone!

Lifehacker is always a good source of info for these things.

Nothing to do with phones but I do like the “Want a girlfriend” advertising in the sidebar!

  I’m glad you like whatever you are seeing, Agatha. The ads are served up by a remote server which focusses the ads on the viewer, including whatever you are looking at, where you are and I think also your browsing history.
  
  Whatever you are looking it is what google thinks should be aimed at you. I see no ads offering girlfriends myself.

I do hope I’m not the only one getting “Spy on your boyfriend” ads! 😉

I see no ads, which beats the Scientology ads that I used to see!

I have nothing to ad because Padre has forbidden it.
