Those of you who read my other blog will have noticed a total lack of new posts recently. This is only partly because of the four week break in Grands Prix. It is mostly because all my spare time is taken up with getting ready for another Austral Sinfonietta concert in September. We will be …
Piping Wired
Love how there is now a UK version of Wired? Hate how it doesn’t have Scott Brown or Steven Levy? I do. I mean, Warren Ellis is great and all but I miss my favourite regular writers from US Wired. Well now I’ve finally found a use for Yahoo Pipes, that cool but strangely pointless …
Monaco
Tomorrow the British Grand Prix kicks off at Silverstone but last month we went to the most glamorous Grand Prix of them all; Monaco. We went with Jonathan and Louise who had managed to arrange for us to use a friend’s flat in Monaco-Ville for the week. Also known as La Rocher or ‘The Rock’, …
Raffles Hotel

It started snowing yesterday and by the time we left to drive Matt to Heathrow it was coming down heavily. It didn’t stop all night and in the morning London woke to a thick covering of snow. It snowed all day today, too and thanks to the heaviest snow fall in two decades there was …
Berlin
Mum and Dad are over here at the moment and we wanted to go abroad for a few days. So where did we decide to go, you know, it being winter and all? Spain? Morocco? No. We went to Germany. Turns out Berlin is rather fracking cold in January. But that didn’t really matter because …
