Creativity, curiosity, and code

I’m not really sure what to make of the fact that I’ve put Wonderwall on the list. It’s the quintessential, moany, groany Oasis track that all sing-along guitarists should know how to play. Yet, at the same time, I’m a bit embarrassed about it. It provokes a reaction in me that’s more “Oh yeah…Wonderwall….how predictable” […]
I’m on my own this weekend as Sally’s off on a working holiday. So I’m doing some catching up and messing around. Here’s a little video I like. It’s a time-lapse of people looking at the “Shibboleth” exhibit at the Tate Modern, in December 2007. I’m usually more interested with people’s reactions to the Turbine […]
I think I’ve mentioned online route planners before. I’m re-investigating them at the moment – amazing how quickly things move on. I currently log routes on Bikely. It’s fast, easy to use, does nice maps with commentary, and shows elevation profiles. I just looked again at MapMyRide but it’s slow, full of adverts, and though […]

So, finally, here we are at song 4. I’ve been a bit lazy about it (it’s week 7, I think), but, frankly, I’ve had more important things to do. I’ve chosen this one because I mostly know it already – I just need to firm the words up in my head, get the order right, […]
This is a follow up to the post about praying for good health. Last Sunday our church had a “Healing and Wholeness” service. They do this a couple of times a year and the idea is that we believe God wishes, in some cases, to heal us, and, in all cases, to bring us wholeness. […]
Yes, after my big back recovery (not quite there yet but an awful lot better!), it was back on the bike today (too wet for Fuzzy but took the Raleigh – which I’m thinking of calling “Walter” – to work). My routine for cycling is quite complicated. I need to get all the right things […]
OK, so I should make it clear at this point that, in my head at least, if not on paper, “52 songs” is a concept, not a target. I never thought I’d learn 52 songs this year, but the idea was to learn SOME pop songs this year, the 52 Songs concept was to give […]
