I downloaded the spanky new version of Winamp today, released to celebrate the 10th anniversary of the media player.

It doesn’t have a particularly overwhelming list of new features, but the new interface took me completely by surprise. Falling somewhere between Windows Media Player and an operating system of the future it had me quickly scampering back to the Winamp Modern skin and its more familiar territory.

I’m intrigued by Winamp Remote, though, which lets you stream your files across the internet via Winamp. 🙂

A Somerset Church has banned the use of their hall for a children’s yoga class because, apparently, children pretending to be animals while nursery rhymes are played is not in keeping with their “Christian Ethos”.

I think it’s both a hilarious and brilliant decision – by having the kids romp around in a church hall they’d only become comfortable with the environment and be more accepting of the brainwashing that goes on in the premises. Hopefully the lady trying to organise the classes can find a more neutral, forward thinking venue – one that’s safer for the mental health of the children.

“A life-sized statue of Wallace and Gromit is to be built in Preston, Lancashire – the home city of their creator Nick Park.”

We go past Preston on our trips to and from Scotland, but we’ve never had a reason to stop there. For me, a Wallace and Gromit statue is a pretty compelling reason to break up that journey. 😀
