Freelancing, war and frogs

It's been a chilled kind of day. Lots of sleep. Various emails fired off about work. A couple of projects in the pipeline.

Had a freelancing mate come over tonight. She's about to start a project mapping frogs. Yes, that's mapping frogs; where they hang out, what they do and all that kind of thing. Now I never thought that frogs had that active a social life but someone, somewhere cares about them enough to map them.

Clearly she's doing the work for love not money...

As frequently happens when alcohol and dinner are involved at the flat, we bunged on a Tom Lehrer CD. He's a fantastic satirist who I couldn't even begin to describe. Just listen to his stuff and see what you reckon.

I was struck by how relevant We will all go together when we go still is.

I reckon that it should be re-released as an anti-war anthem. He's got a skill for creating the best bad rhymes ever. But more to the point, something that was written in the fifties is still as relevant now. And that's scary.
