Inspiring pictures

You may have noticed that until recently we had a St George's flag on the side of the blog, but this of course has now gone after events at the weekend (helpfully summarised in lego here). We wondered if there were any other suitable inspiring images that should go there - preferably on an HP theme! If you have any suggestions please send them in - if there are any interesting websites to link to that can be arranged to. The best suggestions will be posted and in the meantime, as an incentive to get you contributing, a picture of Glenn Beck (and links to his book reviews) will stand as a temporary replacement...

Obama on Letterman

President Obama launched a media offensive over the weekend which included a visit to David Letterman's popular "Late Show". You can see highlights of his interview here - check out how the audience reacts to his arrival.

Meanwhile Obama's conservative opposition are beginning to use his campaigning techniques against him, particularly though the use of new media such as blogs and social networking campaigns, encouraged by figures such as Fox's Glenn Beck. More details here.
