The BBC is reporting that singer Michael Jackson was found by paramedics, not breathing and rushed to hospital earlier tonight.
BBC News - Michael Jackson taken to hospital.
Celebrity gossip site TMZ is reporting that he’s actually dead. And I’ve received several texts on the grapevine tonight saying the same.
Here the link for TMZ which leads with Michael Jackson dies at 50.
In the time it’s taken me to write that, the LA Times are now also reporting that Michael Jackson has died.

I knew he’d never actually perform those 50+ sell-out nights at The O2, I could smell it. But I never imagined it would happen like this

I don’t know about you but I really cannot stand Microsoft Windows Media Player. It’s soo slow and memory hungry, it can’t burn properly and it’s so hungry to rip music it will usually start ripping it all incorrectly before I can check whats happening. It also has a bizarre stutter at the start of tracks sometimes caused by a memory bottleneck, which just should not happen on a high performance system like mine.
Anyway today I decided to throw in the towel and get a proper music player, I did a bit of Googling and everyone is talking about XMPlay, a free, light weight music player for Windows.
I download XMPlay, it’s absolutely tiny (300kb), it just works straight out of the box, is very configurable but simple also. It understands all the formats you’d expect and more and you can make it look different by downloading different skins.
So, XMPlay is my new favourite thing, get XMPlay Music Player for Windows, it’s such a simple alternative to Media Player that’s far far better.
It’s my Birthday today, it was pretty good! Mum and Dad got me a Chocolate Dalek Birthday Cake from Tesco!
I got on the bus into town early to buy doughnuts and cookies for the office and they’d changed the route so I ended up in Ifield and ended up ringing a taxi. But I got it all and got to work on time.
I worked on the new City Link website again today, it’s coming along nicely. More on that when it goes live.
Myself, DJ and Scott went to see Terminator: Salvation, I’ve been waiting to see the human Resistance battle Skynet in the future for about… 18 years.
I thought the new Terminators such as the Mototerminators, Harvesters and the T600, were in-keeping with the classic Terminator design and the Hunter Killer.
It was also really great to see the Terminator Hover Scout, which is a concept from the T2 3-D: Battle Across Time at Universal Studios.
Yeah, I’m going to bed. Nite.
