This is the Feeling
The one only a surfer knows… If you didn’t smile while watching that video… are you a real person? When looking for the origin of that famous quote (without luck), I found this instead, by Johnny...

Things I’m proud of this year
Let’s not get TOO personal though, shall we? 2010 was the year of the Road Trip for me, and culminated in me compiling a top 5 wilderness moments post which sat on the front page of WordPress for...

My 5 best posts of 2011
(Other than this one, which is pure concentrated awesome). There’s no metric or rationale behind this list, but these were generally among my most popular posts and/or held special significance....

Go West, for some ocean air
Between Christmas and New Year’s Eve, I escaped the cloying mass of humanity that is London, exchanging it for the quiet coastline south of Cardiff in Wales. I didn’t go on the internet while I was...

In which I unearth treasure
My list of bookmarks is absurdly long at the moment, and most of them are saved because I wanted to share their goodness with you, my dear reader. So I will begin. The first you’ve probably seen if you...

X marks the spot
Imagine this blog is a worn, tattered bit of paper, and you’re following a cartoonish dotted line toward a raggedly scrawled ‘X’. Two of them, in fact. You’re about to reach the destination, with a...

A Dirty Adventure, Part 1
I’m not going to say where this happened, or who was involved, but to those who organised it and who were there: it was a night I’ll remember for a long time. Thanks. Stay tuned for more pictures from...

A Dirty Adventure, Part 2
So where were we? Again, I’m not going to say, but the more savvy might be able to put together the clues.

A Dirty Adventure, Part 3
That’s all I’ve got for you – it wasn’t the most photogenic place, but it had an eerie and gritty ambiance. A thick layer of dust coated everything, but we were caught up in the moment, shut off from...

“See Something or Say Something”
This is a very cool idea. It’s a map of geographically tagged Twitter (blue) and Flickr (orange) items; examining whether people in a certain region prefer to share what they say, or what they see. In...

Jaw-blowing and Mind-dropping
*kaboom* I have been flat to the boards planning and organising the next Science Museum Lates event at work, but… this is just absurd. ’til next time, try not to get eaten alive by a giant mutant lump...

Monochrome Teaching
One of my pet hates is bad teaching. That’s because I value education enormously, so seeing it done poorly stings. So it’s a breath of fresh air to see this: So it came as something of a shock, in the...

Zombielab
I haven’t talked much about my work on this blog, except maybe to mention how busy it gets. The last two weeks have been an excellent example of the sheer craziness it can reach. Anna Starkey and I,...

A Holiday
I met Ed on a trip to the Cook Islands in late 2007. His casual dedication – if that’s a thing – to capturing great images tipped me over the edge, from dabbling with photography, to buying a DSLR and...

The Global Mail
A new, free, online newspaper has launched, and I’m impressed by it. It’s called The Global Mail, and you should check it out. The stories are more in-depth, with a focus on actually digging into an...

Snow Duo
I didn’t really think of snow as something that settles on top of, well, pretty much anything. Snow on the ground I can deal with – but snow on horse chestnuts? The strange scene of a tree, bare...

A trio and a mission
I hope you like them! Two snowfalls in a week – nice. I’m about to embark upon a month of work that will step me out of the slightly-carved groove I’ve been in of late. For the next two weeks, the...

Smoke, mirrors and mazes
Let’s start with eye candy. This is an image looking over the balcony from the top floor of the Science Museum’s Wellcome Wing. The seemingly perfect positioning of the security guard caught my eye....
