About me

For the last decade and more, my fascination with taking things apart and putting them back together again has manifested itself in my habitual making, using and working with Internet stuff.

In addition to providing me with a soapbox, this site tracks what I’m up to online using feeds from Flickr, del.icio.us and others.

The Definition of Art - Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy

Hot pursuit?

Hot pursuit?
The impression of speed belies the fact that they were stationary, apparently busting some rowdies on Park Street, as I shot past in a taxi and took them down where they stood.

Bristol, Avon
Stung?

Stung?
I paid £6 for these, from Deliverance. They took 90 minutes to arrive, along with the Thai green chicken curry, and when they arrived I was so hungry that I felt completely ripped off by these few little bits of chicken in a box. I felt different by the time I’d finished the meal, certainly, but 14 quid for satay and green curry, with no rice, seems like a lot, particularly when you realise that the same choice, admittedly in a slightly smaller portion, costs you 9 quid in Yelo in Hoxton Square - especially as the latter have something of a location overhead.

So, being a geek, I filled in the feedback form on their website saying "good food, but expensive and slow". To my surprise, I got a personal email back today (I had the food on Friday eve) explaining about how the pricing had gone up because of supplier costs and the like. Nice personal touch, but still, 14 quid for not that much food seems like a lot to me.
