  • Which of our beliefs will our grandchildren be appalled by?
    "So many of our grandparents were racist, and some of our parents are homophobes. Which of our own closely held beliefs will our own children and grandchildren by appalled by?" I'd add "wastefulness" to this list, but still it's a fascinating thing to think about.

  • Heroine – Home
    Some absolutely beautiful t-shirt designs in here. One to come back to when I've got some spare t-shirt money.

Ascension

Ascension

The first of a batch of photos from Toronto. I decided I’d apply the same treatment to quite a lot of them, to produce a set with a unified feel, rather than just a geographic link – it’s an exaggeration of what seems to be becoming my usual style, bringing it into lomo-like territory – I like the idea that a set of photos from somewhere that is very much outside my everyday life have a strongly unreal feel to them.

  • Swine Flu Hemagglutinin
    Swine flu amino acids sequenced and turned into ambient music. It's not going to storm the pop charts any time soon, but it's not awful-sounding either.

  • Open the Future: Pandemonium
    I keep linking to on-line acquaintance Jamais Cascio's stuff because he's bloody good. I'm really quite sorry that I'm going to miss out on a chance for a pint with him next week because I'll be in Toronto when he's in London. This one is particularly worth reading if all you can see ahead of us is the global failure of the human species. It probably won't cheer you up terribly much, but well, he makes a particularly good point in a particularly good way.

Construction Ibis

Construction Ibis

I, and a number of my friends, are terribly fond of the cranes that are fixtures on London’s skyline, but up until now, I’ve never really managed to get a shot of one of them that I like. Dept of credit where credit is due: The title was inspired by a remark by my friend Sarah the other week.
