I’ve finally finished uploading my photos to my new SmugMug gallery. It has just about every photo I’ve taken over the past eight years, so have a browse!
Swiss Re
Last Wednesday we had lunch at 30 St Mary Axe, otherwise known as the Gherkin. Designed by Foster and Partners, it is the second tallest building in the City and one of my favourite London buildings. For years I’ve been meaning to see inside on one of the London Open House days so I was …
You Sucjk At Photoshop
This guy is brilliant. The second one is even funnier than the first.
Drill Squad
I used to love being in the Drill Squad at 10 Flight AIRTC. It might seem strange to some people for a kid to want to give up his spare time to wear a uniform and march around a parade ground but I really did love it. We got to carry rifles and there was …

I forgot to mention before that we wandered into the Musee Mechanique at Pier 45 in Fisherman’s Wharf while we were in San Francisco. This is a fascinating place that houses one of the world’s largest collections …
Old Computers
This site has some beautiful images of old computers including an amazing picture of a Cray CDC 6600 that seems to have huge glowing green eyes. This was the world’s fastest computer from 1964 to 1969 and looks like something from the set of Blake’s 7. They also have a picture of the Neiman Marcus …
