Simon Pegg, star and writer of the Spaced series and Shaun of the Dead, will be alongside Tom Cruise in the next Mission Impossible film. Apparently. I’m not sure. This rings a little close to an old BBC interview he gave once where he mentioned exactly that film… By the way, when you watch Land…

You know you use computers too much when you’re filling in a form with a pencil and when you’re about to leave it you look for the “save” icon. Like I just did. When writing in my lab book I look for red squiggles to appear beneath words when I’m not sure of their spelling…

Autumn is here & winter is on the way. My lights went on my bike this morning for the first time this season, the paths are slippy with wet leaves, & I got a rear wheel puncture. Strangely this was shortly after thinking, “I haven’t had a puncture for a while now”. It’s as though…

Hurrah! We’ve just had a whopping great mortgage agreed on a new house (still being built) in Gowerton. Now wouldn’t that be nice? How many more hurdles must we jump?

I’ve just been giving blood. It’s not the first time I’ve done it, but it’s one of few occasions since they relaxed some of the restrictions some years ago (think asthma). It doesn’t hurt any more than a scratch, and it took less than 45 minutes all in. And most of that time was spent…

2 x videos: Ascent. Descent.

The USA had its Labour Day holiday a short while ago. It celebrates the introduction of the 8 hour working day. In theory this gives 8 hours for work, 8 hours for recreation & 8 hours for sleep each weekday. Yeah, that’d be nice. Do you get anywhere near that? I get 6-7 hours sleep…

How dumb is this? I’m in the market for a new mobile phone and a new contract. I’m a mobile data user (for example, this blog is written mostly on the move), so I’m considering going to a 3G phone and network. 3G is a high speed mobile data network, largely touted for mobile video…
