I’m tired, miserable and slightly hungover but the The Surrealist Compliment Generator still made me smile…

You have not yet reached the height of your depravity
Friday, April 30th, 2004Great tourist photos of our time #2
Wednesday, April 21st, 2004Had a wander down from London Bridge over the last long weekend, where I took this classic postcard shot of Tower Bridge (okay, the postcards are usually when you’ve got better weather but hey):

The bridge between Canary Wharf and West India Quay
Hey Mr DJ
Sunday, April 18th, 2004Went to a rather good party last night at Barry’s place in Guildford – good fun, and met up with the people that I only seem to bump into at these things – like Ling, who is a really cool guy and not as psychotic as he looks in this photo:
Also had my first experience of Barry DJing on his decks:
All very impressive. Would like to become superstar DJ also but am sadly lacking in a) equipment, b) time and c) talent…
Laser Pointer + Cat = Patentable Idea
Wednesday, April 14th, 2004As many feline-afflicted geeks know, a cat will go mad for a laser pointer. However, someone all the way back in 1993 was sufficiently motivated to patent the idea: United States Patent: 5,443,036
Great Architecture In London #6
Tuesday, April 13th, 2004
The amazing British Museum was the afternoon’s distraction on Sunday. We covered about another 5% of it in the couple of hours we spent wandering around…
The great spectacle however is the roof of the great court, which elegantly joins the outer walls of the quad to the inner cylinder of the old British Library.
Innovative busking
Saturday, April 10th, 2004Went on a brief trip to Tate Modern recently, where we were relatively impressed to see that the quality of the street entertainment seems to be radically improving! Most impressive is the “why didn’t I think of that” idea of playing the violin while balancing on a (not-so) tightrope:
Zero 7 at Brixton Academy
Monday, April 5th, 2004If you’re not aware, Zero 7 are the purveyors of the ultimate in chilled out not-quite-jazz melodies. Quite good fun to listen to, which is why I got some tickets to see them live.
The gig was pretty good although it’s never going to be terribly exciting what with the relaxing music and all. But I really like Brixton Academy as it’s a venue with a quality setup and a curvy floor…
