2012
Sorry about the lack of activity. I’m indulging myself in a sporting binge, largely due to the fact that every sport at the Olympics is available on demand this year, which is a total first. Suddenly...

Intermittency
Can I scream? I completed one of my teenage dreams by seeing New Noise live on Monday. It was absolutely mind-blowingly epic. Refused may have sold out, but they still fucking rock. The closing of that...

Oh my gawd
Stunning natural beauty, quality production, perfect waves… The camera-copter stuff is so good. Can’t wait to see more surf films using it, such an interesting perspective.

Use your lives
This is a little bit creepy, but I love the message it’s preaching. Courtesy of the occasionally deep, typically crass SMBC. Let’s see. Discount high school, that was a lifetime of general academic...

Feast
Your ears, I mean. On this: I really, really want to see Searching for Sugarman. Oh, and tomorrow is a milestone. Stay tuned…

A stone to mark two miles
Two years ago, I was packing my bags, having woken in the wake of a going-away party. I was soon to board the longest flight of my life, taking me to a new home and my first glimpse of squirrels. Much...

I, meta cognition researcher?
One session in to the British Science Festival 2012 and I’ve already got a list of questions as long as my arm about amazing new research (yes, one Metric DavidArm, or MDA) (also, apologies for the...

That’s great, it starts with an earthquake
I can’t really think of where to start describing the last 48 hours. (don’t you just hate it when someone says that, then launches into a description anyway? It’s like saying “Words can’t explain how I...

This is a strange video, but a wonderful song. I did a double winter when I arrived in the UK – hopefully I’ll do the opposite on the way back!

An eye on ENCODE
My job is pretty cool. After a month and a half of guessing what two of my workmates had been slaving away on – they weren’t allowed to talk about it – I was invited to a press launch. It had a live...

Tick-tock
If you haven’t seen this yet, prepare to wow. Also, it NEEDS sound, preferably immersive (ie headphones!). Hat tip to Jonny for alerting me to this one. A gem of a find. Sooner or later, they all fall...

Molar eclipse of the heart
Everything that’s good about ridiculous cover songs, wrapped up in a blind furry animal. I’m absolutely delighted with this video. It’s brilliant. The words fit the tune perfectly, AND it is spot-on...

Artist cover mashup rollerblades
Gotye released Making Mirrors in 2011. In early 2012, the single Somebody That I Used To Know exploded onto the international music charts. It has since had staggering amounts of cover versions and...

I don’t know
if this picture works. What do you think? I’m not sure if the rather nicely geometric line at the top adds to, or detracts from, what’s going on in the bottom two thirds of the frame. But I do like the...
