How to Build a Newsroom Time Machine
A student journalism class puts together a newspaper using manual typewriters, scalpels, glue, analogue photography, etc. Sounds like a good exercise and not just because I’m old(ish). (via Waxy)

@gwire Clegg was on holiday too - he just came back yesterday or today.

@pixellent Ssshh, we were just about to put twitter down and go to bed. Sleep well.

@BoysDad I wish there was nothing to point out...

@lucysherriff Yeah, although I'd have thought anyone likely to join in is going to understand where "Croydon", "Mare St" etc are already.

@alaric @tomcoates If only we hadn't invented ploughs we'd never have settled in one place and started riots! Curse those ploughs!

Why don't any of the rolling news channels have maps? Wouldn't it help explain the situation to people who don't know London?

@tomcoates To be fair the article isn't terrible, but whoever wrote that headline needs some good ticking off.

@benterrett Cameron's inbox will be so full when he gets back from hols!

@blaine Fair enough, I haven't heard too much of that, but then I've mostly just read Guardian, so not representative :)

@blaine Are the media blaming BBM (which you imply) or simply stating as fact that it's being used?

@hondanhon Dunno, I just sent a photo from Echofon and it came out with a lockerz URL.

Even if there was nothing Cameron could realistically *do* here, what events *would* he cut short a holiday for?
![philgyford’s avatar](https://hines-production.s3.amazonaws.com/twitter/avatars/25/52/12552/james_200208_300x300_normal.jpg)
@memespring Eesh, good luck, but I hope you don’t need it.

@FinalBullet Great. (Not that you were ill, obviously.) See you later!

@FinalBullet I expect the same people call ebook readers “dead plant and insect and rare metal books”.

@feralibix That kind of physique wasn't very evident in the Essex I was in at the weekend. It was a little more… wobbly.

@Pupsor I did it using HTML. Really, nothing more clever than hand-coding it.

Turkish and Asian groups have stood up to & chased off rioters. Bloody immigrants. Coming over here, defending our boroughs & communities.

#londonriots Well, I'd say it's a cautious thumbs up for the Big Society.
