Joel found this:

It got me to thinking how you would actually implement something like this. Hmmm.

Katie found some cool hats to go over your cycle helmet. Perfect if you want to cycle to Ascot.

This fantastic Video installation in Moor Street Station featured a flock of birds in black and white accompanied by a minimalist soundtrack by Ben Frosts. I was reminded of some of the haunting shots from There Will Be Blood with Johnny Greenwood’s  soundscape. The birds formed abastract shapes like fast moving clouds, or the startfield screensaver from Windows 98.

We just got back from watching Sandra Bullock getting her kit off in this romantic comedy. It was basically a remake of Green Card, but Sandra Bullock is always good value and I laughed about ten times.

Grrr, grrr, and furthermore grrr. I’ve given myself some time to calm down, but I’m still not quite there yet. A few months ago, I bought these Samson Studio Dock speakers:

Look nice, eh? Good price too – 80 quid. <green ink mode> Unfortunately the volume knob was broken, so I took them back. I went to pick them up a few weeks later on my bike (a very bad idea), and the knob problem had been fixed. Great. Then a couple of weeks later they started crackling every now and then. So again I took them back. I was pleased to get a replacement, didn’t mind getting rained on while lugging them back on the bus. But then I got home and discovered that they had the same volume knob problem as the first pair, and also were chipped. Why, why, why didn’t I ckeck them? Now I have to go in a fourth time. </green ink mode> It was my fault. I should have checked. Why didn’t I listen to my Dad as I was growing up?

Goodbye old blog theme, hello new blog theme. This new look blog isn’t just a skin change, things have changed behind the scenes too. The old articles are now available at archive.edshome.co.uk. The old site was made with a CMS called Drupal, which I philosophically agree with, but for blogging (and much else), WordPress is quietly taking over the world, so I thought I’d let the tide sweep me out to sea. Hopefully the warm comfortable fur of WordPress will draw me in to posting more. I’ve adapted this blog theme myself, based on one called Bluebird, with inspiration from greyscalegorilla.com. As for the content of the posts, don’t expect much to change, there will still be lots of incoherent rambling on subjects with which I have no authority; don’t take anything too seriously. I’ve also stuck a twitter gadget at the side. Please subscribe, though, because it’s much easier that way. The link is here.
