And what do the BBC do? Editorialise and announce. That's what they're good at. Don't get me wrong, there is a place for the institutional voice, and of all the institutions I'll be sad to see go when anarchy finally reigns, it will be the BBC I'll mourn most. In fairness, the only other thing I'll mourn will be a constant supply of Irish Whiskey, since I imagine that when we surface in our future collective mutualism, Bushmills will be hard to source.

I've just spent a slightly disappointing half-hour watching the new BBC Four series 'Never Mind the Full Stops' - I suppose by the name it's meant to be a Buzzcocks for intellectual middle-class wankers (like me). Basically it's the televisual equivalent of Radio 4 at 1.30pm on a very, very slow day. It did however give me the pleasure of discovering that Janet Street-Porter and David Aaronovitch don't know the correct punctuation of the impersonal genative. (That would be "its" - without apostrophe). I was also able to feel smug about finding cacophonisms mildly amusing.

My contribution to world peace (and the Interactive Media Portal at CEMP) today concerned Mark Thompson, the bell end big cheese at the BBC, making a speech to his own staff about how they need to create the BBC Web 2.0. Cue hype-fatigue, and jaded cynicism as good ideas get hijacked by PR speak. :(

This year's Reith lectures which began broadcasting on Radio 4 this morning are delivered by Daniel Barenboim, composer, and address the fact that western culture today is a visual culture - and what we are missing out on by allowing our ears to be aneasthetised to music.

Continuing the current craze for silly fluff, the cheery folks of Albert Square strut their stuff. This is a Flash game (not sure game is the right word...) I made for BBCi EastEnders Online in the style of Dancing Bush, Stereo MPs, and a load of other similar silly bits of glitter that avalanched across the internet a little while ago. Here's the prototype I made for fun :)

BBC Eastenders Witness Quiz
 
Made a little Flash game for the BBC EastEnders website, in which you play a witness, and answer questions; trying all the while not to frame yourself for the attempted murder of Phil Mitchell.
