what’s it all about?
A while ago I witnessed a conversation between two maths dudes about the existence of God. The conversation went something like this: A: The question of what exists beyond what we know is a pointless or redundant question. B: How do you mean? A: Well we know more or less when the big bang happened […]
time to change
I went to the cinema a couple of days ago. Whilst in the loo, I happened to read an advert for the 'Time to Change' campaign displayed above the wash basins. I think that for any change to happen more people need to get involved. Time to Change has launched a new campaign with the […]
impressed with the sands of Famara
A few weeks or so ago I hired a car to drive around the island. This is a picture of my Opal; my ticket to freedom! On one of my trips I went to Famara which is best known for its excellent surf. I was struck by the sand dunes which resonated with me, probably […]

Capt. Charles Moore of the Algalita Marine Research Foundation first discovered the Great Pacific Garbage Patch — an endless floating waste of plastic trash. Now he’s drawing attention to the growing, choking problem of plastic debris in our seas.

my homage to the great

It is probably the work that best represents Manrique's artistic and personal ideals. Cesar Manrique's house was built in 1968 on top of a volcanic trail from […]
in 2004 the 13th protocol was adopted
An excerpt from Wikipidia following a conversation I had last night. I just thought it was interesting. The last execution on the Isle of Man took place in 1872, when John Kewish was hanged for patricide. Capital punishment was not formally abolished by Tynwald (the island's parliament) until 1993. Five persons were sentenced to death […]
he finished playing and silence took over.
THE SITUATION – In Washington , DC , at a Metro Station, on a cold January morning in 2007, this man with a violin played six Bach pieces for about 45 minutes. During that time, approximately 2,000 people went through the station, most of them on their way to work. After about 3 minutes, a […]
