I was randomly wondering whether to do a "narrow screen/mobile" version of Planet Bods. I don't bother with mobile internet myself, however I thought it would be an interesting thing to play with. This interesting code gives a relatively simple way to provide a mobile/handheld stylesheet without using any JavaScript.

ADAM BUXTON’S BIG MIX TAPE – Adam and Joe’s 6music blog
Adam and Joe are (alas) on sabbatical from 6music, however news comes of an interesting sounding pilot Adam's recording. Adam Buxton's Big Mix Tape is "is supposed to be kind of like a compilation tape that I've made for the listeners with a different theme or mood each week.The pilot Mix Tape is called Øddens and features some of my favourite weird but accessible music by both well known and less well known artists. The show is 2 hours so it's divided into two sides with a guest joining me for an hour to add their own tracks and just talk generally about any other rubbish that comes up." Pilot will hopefully be broadcast in a few weeks time.

If the answer is shutting 6 Music, what exactly was the question? – guardian.co.uk
"The BBC cannot prove in any meaningful way that 6 Music threatens commercial listening now, or will do so in the future. It can't argue that it's operating three popular music stations when one of them clearly isn't. It can't even denounce 6 Music as too expensive for such a small audience – not when Radio 3 escapes unscathed with 1.87 million listeners and a budget of £51m." Paul Smith, formerly of BBC Radio 7 doesn't understand the logic being dished out by BBC management for closing 6music. Frankly, nor do I when you could argue the logic given should mean 1xtra and Radio 7 should also get the chop.
