boston guide
Sunday, 3 February 2008 3:58 P GMT+01
Well, whaddya know. I took - especially for me - lots of nice photos of Boston in the sunshine, but for some reason, the one I took in the cloud of the library has been included in a Schmap web guide. Not of the library, but of the Old South Church b

Nice donkey... Using old technology to take the old technology of books up into mountainous villages to get children and adults reading and educated. Even cooler, cybermules carrying laptops to connect to the mobilephone signal to bring new technolog

My lovely blackboard friend Arthur in setting off shortly on a trek of which I am exceedingly envious. having spent part of my year abroad in Jaca, on the Camino de Santiago in a holy year, I've always wanted to go back and do the pilgrimage, pre
demographic markers
Tuesday, 3 July 2007 10:55 A GMT+01
I'm sure economists have scientific markers about where people/places stand on some socio-economic scale, but here's an amateur view. There's a Starbucks and a Monsoon about to open in Middlesbrough.... There was no cafe culture when I ar

Yuch. I've been on the go since half past four this morning. That's over 18 hours ago I've been to Bristol to the JISC e-pedagogy experts meeting. It was an interesting trip. Well, no, actually it was an interesting trip.

Anyone with any spare cash fancy a weekend retreat? I expect a weekend retreat would be an exceptionally good use for it. From news.

Would you live in an IKEA house? I pretty much do anyway, so having IKEA build the outside as well as the inside doesn't worry me. This article appeared in the Guardian before Easter, taken me a while to get around to it. I knew BoKlok were plann

Why do I find this difficult to get my head round? In Sweden, of all places. And why no simple dna test? Sobering thought. Courtesy of no-longer-hemliga-pappan.

Monday, 1 January 2007 2:28 P GMT+01
Passing almost unnoticed amongst the rest of the news was an article about IVF success in Denmark. Or rather, an improvement on IVF. Indeed, an improvement on nature, as the success rate can even better natural conception rates. It's also much cheape

I want to write about christmas, which I will. Unfortunately I'm going to spoil it with this one first. I've been thinking about this post but I didn't quite expect it to come so soon. Perhaps I should have known they wouldn't hang about. Do you beli
sensible housing planning
Tuesday, 21 November 2006 12:31 P GMT+01
Indeed. What more is there to say? I like BoKlok. It is new houses, but I'd quite like to own a whole little street of houses like mine and decorate them nicely and cheaply and then rent them to people cheaply too to people who would make a community
are you overweight?
Thursday, 12 October 2006 10:43 P GMT+01
Purleease. Obesity is a major and growing problem in the western world. I don't think anyone would deny that. So probably to go out on the street and discuss with people what is obese might be a good idea. But don't tell me Brad Pitt is obese. a) I'm

While I was at Mum and Dad's, I was reading the Daily Mail, and I caught a whole week's worth of tirade about chip 'n' bin - the next technology gadget to measure how much stuff you throw out. Ostensibly so councils can charge you again on top o

Earlier this week, someone asked 'how many times do you have to have met before you can kiss in greeting?'Interesting. When I lived in [a four kiss area of] France, I used to be fascinated by the abililty of a group of about 8 children appearing toge

Bearing in mind Mum retired yesterday, and was telling me last night what she had brought home in gifts, it was interesting to read this article today.

Apparently, if you blog about the BBC, they're reading it! Not too sure I like the tone of the entry, somehow, although I fully agree that people who blog publicly know (or should) they're doing it. And I've every agreement that the BBC should have a

What a good idea. Apparently at least. I'd be all for putting down a lot of the tram lines too. They do have the point that many old train tracks go places people don't want to go, but I'm not sure that's totally true everywhere. Where my parents liv
Easter at S James
Friday, 14 April 2006 10:38 A GMT+01
I seem to have decided to attend all the Easter services this year, but not at the Cathedral (where I'm going to miss Christus Factus Est this afternoon, dammit) but at the parish church of S James the Great (as in compostela, remember) in Darlington

Community is a word we've been using at work a lot recently. And I'm logged into facebook at the moment contemplating community (amongst other things) too. But I've also been looking for something else to be doing, and to find time to be doing someth

it's a good job that the golf umbrella that's been living in the car was still there when we got to newcastle - it was chucking it down with a vengeance. It had stopped when we came home though. But driving back from Jane's, I noticed from the stone

Social networking really is the thing, isn't it? (my first tutee has added me as a friend on facebook, more on that later) Fell over this on BBC front page today, which I think is very interesting. When you go to the site itself it doesn't (for me) l

Strange. I've had half a dozen things on my mind all week I'd have blogged about if I'd had my pc in front of me at the right time and time to do it. Unfortunately I didn't, and now I've had two minutes to rub together, I'm not quote in the mood to s
