Drive

A short time-lapse movie of my drive home from work! 50 minutes compressed into 7 and a bit seconds!


What a sad life! :-)
I need to start doing more on my ideas that we should all stop travelling to work and find something more local. A few years ago when my local office closed down - forcing the "round the M25" journey - a few of us looked at creating a local community office in an old barn. The powers the be took a dim view at the time, but I think they'd be open to it now.

A new favourite blog

Oh!  Is it really that long since I last made a blog posting?

Well - much of that can be blamed on TrekChina.    I'm still in catch up mode at work and at home too.   And during that catch up I had the great pleasure of discovering not just that Stephen Fry has a blog but that his first post was a "geek posting" - on the pros and cons of the iPhone.  And of course it was the best posting on the topic that I have yet read. 

I've only touched an iPhone twice now and I was, for various complex reasons, determined not to like it.  I failed miserably in that respect. It really is a wonderful example of design. Not perfect, it has niggles, but still in a class of its own.  I'm wondering why the same level of thought can't go into more products and objects around us?

EDIT: November 12th 2007. I take back what I said! Fry is obviously in the employ of Apple or besotted by the iPhone's designer. He keeps on about it - and has nothing else to say. Oh well - first impressions and all that!!!
