I was saving this bunch of links to write a piece about academia, but I’m in the middle of packing up my Newcastle flat and moving house – made more exciting than I’d like by things such as surprise house guests and exploding car engines. This means I can’t quite get my writing head into [...]

As the following post shows, I’ve been messing around with my iPhone a bit. I left a huge comment on a Guardian article on Jailbreaking, relating my experiences, and I thought I’d republish a tweeked version of it here. I don’t do anything that weird with my phone normally, but in the past few days [...]

Above: the retro/Victoriana/steampunk video for “Flush”. I like the giga-Victoria. I’ve been learning to juggle five balls recently. Four balls is pretty boring; essentially, it’s throwing two balls in one hand simultaneously – something that’s hard, but not impossible.

I wrote this application for the Platform ’09 live art event back before I knew I was ill, but I was definitely suffering from all of the symptoms that would later see me hospitalised. I checked with a few people I knew, and found out that at least two of the people on the Platform [...]

I used to be seriously into music. Like, seriously spending all my money on CDs, reading about music, and playing instruments. I’ve mentioned a little just how staid my hometown is, but in middle school I was carting around a seriously boring instrument, the Bassoon (if you ever want to kill a kids interest in [...]

Yesterday was a trip into London to meet up with my mother for lunch, and then look at some art galleries and bicycle shops around the Brick Lane area. It was nice to get out of the small town where I usually find myself, but after the bike ride on Tuesday I rapidly became too [...]
