(Re)watching Children of Men. It gets better every time. That continuous siege scene at the end is amazing.
Lovely dinner and drinks with the @globaldev team this evening.

Apple is patenting an opt-in friendship/dating matching system using geolocation and data on your iPhone http://www.macrumors.com/2011/06/16/apple-researching-how-the-iphone-can-help-you-make-new-friends/
Turned on the little heater under my desk to counteract the unstoppable air con from above. Chilly head and scalded ankles. #notverygreen
Flying visit to Essex today for my mum's retirement/birthday shindig.

We've got dozens of Macs in the office. Will I be able to buy multiple copies of Lion through the Mac App Store using one company Apple ID?
I would love to see iMessage push to iChat on Lion as well as iOS5 devices.
The test match, Euro qualifiers, French Open finals, the Derby, lovely sunshine... How am I supposed to get anything done this weekend?
Ordered the new big loud Foo Fighters album after watching last night's cracking Back and Forth documentary http://www.bbc.co.uk/i/b011px34/
If Apple do release a MacBook Air with an ARM A5 CPU, it'll be the first since Acorn's ARM-powered A4 launched in 1992 http://acorn.chriswhy.co.uk/Computers/A4.html

First day using Android after 3 years of iOS. I'm unimpressed. It's inconsistent, ugly and clunky. The Gmail app is the best feature so far.

The recruitment threesome: my advice to leave everyone satisfied http://bfr.st/26xF
Lunchtime barbecue in the garden with @larrylou100
Impressed with @37signals' Highrise as a tool for managing recruitment leads. Gravatars, Twitter feed and maps helping us qualify and act.
Decision made on a new work Android phone, thanks to @cronkshaw 's recommendation. HTC Desire S on its way...
Well done and many thanks to @jimeh @Jennyuffer @martinbtt and @rosswilliams for their hard work hustling and recruiting for us.
Sore legs and hoarse from recruiting with the @globaldev team at today's @milkroundabout. Met some great developers so thoroughly worth it.
I like the simplicity of Google's #chromebook for just browsing & typing. The iPad could do with its multi-user feature http://www.google.com/chromebook/
Sky's Remote Record never fails to impress me: requests on their site/app goes back to my box via an actual satellite in space #thefuture
I've made myself a self-hosted short URL system with my new bfr.st domain to link to things, e.g. http://bfr.st/2Tqu
Ripping apart that ridiculous 2bn royal wedding viewers stat: http://www.gyford.com/phil/writing/2011/05/06/2-billion-viewers.php
In a pretty Surrey village waiting outside a church for wedding proceedings to kick off. Glorious weather for it.
AV and local elections voting done but had to dodge a Tory exit poller on the way out. If charity reps are chuggers, he must be a tugger.
