Daily photo project

There’s been a bit of a theme running through the last few posts, photography. I love photos, I can spend hours on stumble-upon going through the pictures section. About 6 months ago I managed to pick up a dirt cheap Nikon D40. Since then I have been playing around, and even started reading up on how [ READ MORE ]

I bought a Senseo recently. It’s great. Proper coffee, without most of the hassle. When I came into work today I saw someone had one on their desk. “great idea” I thought, “but he’s quite far from the kitchen; it only has a 1 litre capacity, it’ll be a pain to keep having to refill the [ READ MORE ]

Tilt-Shift Photography

I discovered tilt-shift photography a few month ago on one of my regular haunts, the MacRumors.com forums. Someone had posted a video of what looked like stop motion model animation, but was of real life subjects. The video is amazing and well worth watching. It was shortly after finding this that I went out and bought [ READ MORE ]

My motorbike was stolen this morning. It’s hard to know what to feel, I loved that bike, it was too small for me, old (18 years), bits kept falling off, but the engine was sound and never stopped going, it always got me where I was going. One time I was riding to work, going about [ READ MORE ]

Once, when I was about 15, I was out getting up to what 15 year olds do. Namely out drinking. Being honest, we weren’t causing trouble, we weren’t particulary loud, and it wasn’t very late, no later than 21:00. Other than the alcohol, our worst infraction was someone let off a firecracker However we did have [ READ MORE ]

I really object to the labelling things you put in the fridge mentality. It only happens in two places, student houses and offices, to somehow stop people stealing/”borrowing” your food. I don’t name my stuff, yes it gets borrowed, yes I’m lazy, yes I don’t’ want to be brought down to their level of petty, but [ READ MORE ]

Banksy Exhibition

In a thinking outside the box moment I decided I would try and avoid the 2-3 hour queue for the Banksy exhibition by turning up 2.5 hours before it opened. It made sense in my head at the time. There was a load of stuff there none of which was what Banksy is most famous for, [ READ MORE ]

Tricia Clegg 6th February 1957 – 16th July 2009 The last time I saw Mum I was complaining about comedians who pun. I’m sure if I hadn’t stopped myself talking she would have listened for hours. Mum always had endless time for us. It was often punctuated by making a fresh cup of tea, but she [ READ MORE ]
