This weekend I’ll be joining Jonny, Andrew, Si, Gareth, Saga, Pete and others in the Northern Ireland Soliton Sessions. The theme is Dangerous Living. Looking forward to it. More details here. Technorati: soliton | Northern Ireland

I’ve been using Typepad for a while now, and I think it has really moved on recently. One thing that’s been really bugging me though is the lack of work that seems to have been put into comments. Ok, so there’s hardly a huge amount of comments traffic here yet, but the thing that annoys [...]

A researcher from Channel 4 (in the UK) has contacted me (I know not why!) wondering if I could ‘pass on any names of Christians in their 20s and 30s who are eloquent, attractive, hip, modern and can present arguments for abstinence in an appealing and convincing way.’ If only I knew people like that!

Excellent interview with Brian Eno on Front Row today. Well worth a podcast or download. For one week only. In reply to a question about his music being ‘spiritual’ he admits to be being an ‘evangelical atheist’ but that he is ‘jealous of the spiritual experiences the religious have access to.’ His recent work seeks [...]

The ever-interesting Prospect Magazine has a very good portrait of Barak Hussein Obama – the democrat whose political capital is ever-rising, and who is widely tipped to give Clinton a run for her money in the democratic nomination race. What is interesting is how Obama appears to be a figure who would resonate with much [...]

Hardly what Jordon has had to cope with in Canada, but hey, this is London, Elias is almost 3, and it’s pretty much the first he’s seen! Technorati: London | Snow

He’d had a rough childhood himself – orphaned by 6, sent to live with his grandfather, who then died. He’d ended up with his uncle, followed him into his [...]

I had a snoop around the sale items in a department store the other day. A guy in an ill-fitting suit bee-lined me and was desperate to show me the new hard-drive recorders they had in. Tempting, but the prices are crashing and the capacities are inflating, so we’ll hold for a while yet. One [...]

Big thank you to Jordon for a really great, comprehensive review of the book. “I think I have read the book probably 20 times and I will soon retire the book as soon as Signs of Emergence comes out in North America for no other reason to give it’s battered binding a must needed break. [...]

…is one of those great free bits of Mac software, and if you have a large iPhoto library (or just access to Google Images) you might want to download it and have a play. Very flexible. Very simple. Pick a target image, choose your source image folder(s) and let it get to work. Technorati: Jesus [...]
