Whether you like Jay Z’s Empire State of Mind or not, you’ve got to admire the creativity of the people behind this slightly more… erm, Welsh version. It currently has over 2.3m views on YouTube.

OneEighteen pilots ships in and out of the Houston Ship Channel. He also documents his life with some incredible photos, such as his My Office Window set.

Here are two segments of an incredible time-lapse video showing him navigating ‘Champion Star’ (all 600 feet of it) along the channel.

Dear Andy and Mooresport

Here, belatedly, are the results from Silverstone; does anybody else think we could do with a bit more movement at the top and bottom of the table?

I might delay publishing results from Germany until the FIA World Council decide if Ferrari should face further penalty after bending the rules concerning applying team orders. But what do you think? Should team orders be banned? Do you think they inevitably affect F1 anyway? Do they spoil the sport for fans?

Let’s see what happens in Hungary…

A young engineer was leaving the office when he found the Acting CEO standing in front of the shredder with a piece of paper in his hand.

“Listen,” said the Acting CEO, “this is a very sensitive and important document, and my secretary is not here. Can you make this thing work?”

“Certainly,” said the young engineer. He turned the machine on, inserted the paper, and pressed the start button.

“Excellent, excellent!” said the Acting CEO as his paper disappeared inside the machine, “I just need one copy.”

Lesson: Never, ever assume that your boss knows what they’re doing.

After a topsy-turvy race – especially for Mark Webber – here is our topsy-turvy table, which has lots of movement, and our first competitor to reach 1,000 points this season. Will anyone catch these Four Wheels?

See you after Silverstone.

Just in time before the European Grand Prix tomorrow, here are the results from Canada. Chris Illingworth still holds his position at the top of the table (can you guess how his team is made up?), with most movement in the bottom half of the table.

Let’s see what tomorrow brings.

Edinburgh 2010 (a missions conference celebrating the centenary of the World Missionary Conference) has now ended, and this morning I came across a really helpful review of the event written by Allen Yeh, a missiologist who specializes in Latin America and China.

The mood of the conference:
Dana Robert, the opening speaker, said that today the world is 1/3 Christian, the same as it was 100 years ago. But the difference is, back then they complained that the world was only 1/3 Christian. Today, we rejoice that the world is 1/3 Christian!

The review is well-written and very balanced, pointing out both the highlights and some of the problems, and is well worth a read. You can find the full post here: Four Conferences on Four Continents: Edinburgh 2010 (Epilogue)

Here are the latest standings in the FF1 league following the race in Turkey, with Gaynor Bingham and Jackie Moore sharing the spoils for best improvement.

So, was the Red Bull collision Vettel’s fault, or Webber’s? Would you have given Vettel a hug when he reached the pit wall, or would you be handing him his P45?

Each year (for the last 5) there has been a Love Oxford event, bringing churches across Oxfordshire together for an open air service; it’s really quite an amazing event, and here’s a small taster.

After confirmation of Mr Schumacher’s penalty for his final-lap overtaking manoeuvre, here are the results for the FF1 league post-Monaco; and what a fascinating race it was!

It looks like there’s some friendly family-rivalry underway, with Simon Rodden’s jump up the table being followed by Josh and Lynne in hot pursuit!
