Catching Sunshine

In one week’s time I’m going to start this on Sunshine, but I wanted to let people know about it here first. I’ve been taking loads of pictures of the Sun since I started working on the film. I’m kind of obsessed with it. I took some really cool photos of my son holding the [...]

Hide

Last night at dinner with my cousin and his wife (who are visiting the UK from Brevig Mission, Alaska. There’s a photo of them on this page titled ‘Teachers at Brevig Mission School’). They were telling me how there are no roads to their village so all non-local travel is by airplane. They estimated they [...]

Dictionary II

The lovely Dog of Dirk who created the Associative Dictionary on my sidebar has taken Mark’s suggestion from the comments and made a new version which starts with a random word from the database every time you load the page… and it’s excellent… If you find a word that isn’t defined it’s up to you [...]

Who Gets A Cold In May?

I do. Or at least I think it’s a cold. It doesn’t feel like hayfever – I have a headache, temperature, sore throat, stuffy nose… the whole works. I feel utterly rubbish. Utterly. I wish I had someone here to make me Lemsips… Volunteers? Brian was on the Science Channel in the US the other [...]

Dictionary

I’ve add another widget to the sidebar – an Associative Dictionary- a dictionary where you define the words. Each one of the words in a definition then has to be defined, you can then travel through the words reading and adding definitions as you go… If you want. I started it off with ‘Love’ last [...]

My Brain

Is almost gone… again… I’ve got to get all this stuff out of it… I want to iChat to Euan about some personal stuff. I just keep forgetting to open the damned iChat. **edit 15 minutes later. Euan’s emailed** Suw I know you’re busy… but email me. I’m really busy too, but there will be [...]

AJAX-tastic

Oh. Finished my redesign and…. it’s really sexy, innit? I am using WordPress, K2-the most beautiful theme around- and the WordPress widgets plugin. I’m using a few of the included widgets plus: the Ad Rotator widget (which I’m using to rotate Flickr images) and the ExecPHP widget (which I’m using to display my Ultimate Tag [...]

Meeting Bloggers

This hasn’t happened to me before. I was in Covent Garden the other day and stopped to grab a coffee in the market. This guy came and sat down at the table next to me and I was pretty sure he was a blogger that I read and love. I’d never met him before, but [...]

More Bananas

I just have to point out Underblog’s brilliant banana post. It’s got everything you need to know about the atheist’s worst nightmare.

Proof That God Designed Bananas

Wow. That’s told me… Does that mean that artichokes were designed by Satan?

Professional Blogger

It’s official. I am truly a professional blogger now. Today I start my second blogging job. I’ve been hired along with two other writers to investigate nuclear new build for the Institute of Physics here in the UK. This summer the DTI Energy Review is going to announce its decision about whether or not they [...]
