For all readers of Transmetropolitan :

Spider Jerusalem's sunglasses now a reality - HP just developed sunglasses with a camera built into them that'll take continuous snaps.

Also : To tackle image overload, the HP system captures information about images, called metadata, too.

This extra data keeps track of how and where a picture was taken and can spot if a subject was walking or turning.

The system also inspects images to see if people are smiling or looking directly at the camera lens.

Right. First person to manufacture these with one red and one green lens will have all the Ellis worshippers beating a path to their door...

We *wants*, my precious...

Gah. Waiting for hair to dry as have just read instructions on the new hair dye (L'Oreal have stopped making Open, my hair dye and have had to go with Clairol's Hydrience) and just to be really irritating, they insist you have to have dry hair to apply the mixture. I think they're just being annoying. Bastards.

Free film tickets

On the one hand, debating whether or not to go to see Honey tonight at the Showcase - one of those market research things where they ambush you in the street and ask you to fill out a questionnaire after the film. Honey... er. It looks incredibly cheesy. Jessica Alba from Dark Angel wants to make it big as a hip-hop choreographer. Flashdance plus Star is Born, from what I can tell from the trailer...

And on the other hand? I just got two free tickets for the Warner Village for Once Upon a Time in Mexico from the Times 10:30-11pm Saturday. My only problem? I don't actually know anyone in Reading. Besides the kids I've known from infancy from my street. The only person I do know in Reading is on holiday. Sooooo... louiselux, you doing anything on Saturday?
