Talkshows silenced?

Well that really would be an improvement for TV. Scriptwriters are set to go on strike on American TV over a dispute regarding royalty payments on new media, such as DVDs. I have to admit to barely watching anything else but the news and, erm, car chases on television these days. It's difficult to find a rose in amongst all the thorns, to use a polite expression.

Today, the face of Tutankhamon was revealed to the world for the first time in 3,300 years. The 19-year old god-king of ancient Egypt died in 1324 BC, probably from complications arising from a broken leg. The face of Tutankhamon in 2007 AD is a slightly gruesome black and shrivelled image.

This afternoon is very grey and dark, with the lighthouse already sending its beams across the water, a quarter of an hour before sunset. Have a look on the webcam.

  2. You are correct in your description of King Tut, it is a bit gruesome - fascinating but gruesome.  It appears the Webcam is offline right now - I'll take another look later.

    I will enjoy the reruns sadly, to me they will be new.

  6. I'll enjoy watching the webcam!  I seldom watch television.  I avoid television news (among other things).

    I DID read about the face of Tut!  VERY exciting!  :)
