Home From Geneva

I had a wonderful time at LIFT again this year.

I saw Henriette, Sig and Maryam and finally met Stephanie– and, in fact, many more people whose cards are in my bag, but I’m in bed and don’t have the energy to go downstairs to get them… :-/

Brian, a couple of his CERN colleagues and I had dinner with Maryam, Nicole Smith and Robert Scoble last night. He’s now a big fan of Brian, but more importantly is bigging up CERN. Brian wants to invite him back to CERN later in the year to do a podcast together.

Laurent - you rule…

I didn’t take any photos. I didn’t take any video. I don’t even have a brain left (Sunshine has finally stolen it) to write anything more about LIFT… so why not read what everyone else wrote instead.

    Yeah, well… I still think Scoble is a gobshite, to be honest. Brian is a diamond, however, and CERN is awesome. So I’m torn because I’m forced to agree with someone I know to be full of shit.

    Well, maybe CERN will finally bring the world together in peace and harmony.

    peace and harmony through smashing tiny things into each other at almost the speed of light napoleon would approve.

    Maybe CERN will bring the world together in a very literal sense should things go horribly wrong and they create some kind of singularity.

    Nah. If the Oh My God particle didn’t do it, LHC certainly won’t.

  • Jonathan Ross on Twitter -

    I've only just noticed that people are looking for Jonathan Ross's Twitter stream via my blog, so thought I'd make it easier. He's here.

    If you missed Brian's Horizon 'Do You Know What Time It Is?' last night, and you are in the UK, it's available on the BBC's iPlayer.

  • The BNP's Membership List -

    In case you've not already seen, the British Nationalist Party's membership list (*edited to add link to new source*) has been leaked online. For non-Brits, this is a White Supremacist "political" party in the UK. Everyone on that list stands for everything I stand against.

  • Brian Didn't Get Dawkins' Job -

    Phew! I can finally say something about this. Brian was up for Dawkins' job, down to the final three (or was it four?!), but didn't get it. And the winner is...

  • Brian Cox For Dawkins' Job -

    A couple people in the comments have said they think Brian should take over from Richard Dawkins when he retires this year. If you're on Facebook, you can join the Brian Cox For Dawkins' Job group. Not started be me incidentally.

  • Observer Article -

    Honestly, this isn't a blog just about Brian. That would be really weird... but... indulge me just a bit longer.

    Some of you may have seen the article about Brian in the Observer today. Now, you guys are intelligent and realise that not everything you read in a newspaper is accurate. This was made absolutely clear to me this morning as I was sitting in my bathrobe, hair all over the place, barefoot, all coffee breath, unshowered and read, "he married his American wife, glamorous TV presenter Gia Milinovich, in secret." :-/

    Ah well...
