    You can now buy nutrient supplements and energy stuff online from Key Performance Nutrition. Yeah, I got the shopping cart installed over the last couple of days. Quite cool – I used FastCart’s system linked into KPN’s WorldPay account. Key Performance Nutrition

    It seems strange to many people that I’ve gone from rock climbing and mountaineering to golf. The two sports are at apparent opposite ends of the “dangerousness” spectrum and do seem very different, but as with most sports there are surprising areas of overlap. One is to do with the storage of muscle movement sequences…

    Be warned, the next person that asks me to build them a website will have to up the sound quality in my study for me by buying me these items: PMC DB1 (plus a sub to match probably…) Cyrus 6vs And probably a couple of hundred egg boxes for the walls. All my web construction…

    I’ve uploaded a podcast based upon the last embryology lecture about the development of the musculoskeletal system. Unfortunately I haven’t been able to add images to these podcasts in the enhanced format as I have wanted to: I just haven’t had enough time. I need to draw the images myself and this just takes too…

    Hahahahahahahahahaha…ooooh *wipes tears from eyes* “In the latest of a series of speeches setting out what he sees as the key challenges facing Britain in the decades ahead, Mr Blair focused on the central role of science in delivering prosperity for the future.” Snigger.

    What a great weekend. We went back to Cheltenham to see the family, and for the annual bonfire night party at mum and dad’s. Jack had a bit of an intrigue/fear thing with the fireworks, and had his hands over his ears and stayed inside the house most of the evening. With an early round…

    A several million year old human endogenous retrovirus that is now part of our genome has been resuscitated (kind of – it was mostly rebuilt from intelligent guesswork). There’s a bit of worry about how such resurrections may endanger the current human race. I’m sure that’s the plot of a sci-fi or zombie film, or…

    I was really late into the office this morning. Even though Jack woke me up at 7am, I slowly dragged myself from slumber and realised that it was a very cold, frosty morning and then spent an age hunting for my winter cycling gear: thin fleece hat, windproof gloves, thin fleece top, weatherproof, etc. From…
