I wasn’t going to use any of my old blogs from elsewhere as they are still around should you wish to view them. However I have had a rather busy weekend and don’t have time to ‘create’. So here’s a cheeky reprint from over a year ago some may find familiar! I picked this as [...]

Global warming – the silent killer*
Posted in Life, cycling on April 26, 2007 | 1 Comment »
Regular customers are the life-blood of any bike shop. The shop where I work takes most of its actual revenue from tourists throughout the Summer months but it is the regulars who send them to us and who recommend our services. For this reason we like to take good care of our loyal customers and [...]
Creationism for Dummies.

Sometimes I get annoyed. Not very often these days but sometimes. If I may grossly generalise there are three things that annoy me, these are:
a) Things that don’t work for no apparent reason whatsoever! Which then take hours to put right when I could be doing something useful. Like eating bread.
b) Things that don’t work [...]
Mucking about with RSS
Posted in Blogging, Life, computers on April 23, 2007 | 3 Comments »
Just a quickie, pub quiz in a bit. I have found myself interested in RSS feeds of a sudden. Does anyone out there have any recommendations on how to quickly and easily set up an aggregator so that I can find news on some quite narrow channels of interest? I am a comblete noob to [...]
The nature of proof
Posted in Philosophy, Popular Science, Religion on April 22, 2007 | 5 Comments »
I was just being infuriated by ‘Dr.’ Kent Hovind. Again. This time through the medium of the Ali G. show. In this clip Hovind explains that he is offering $25,000 to anybody with ‘real, empirical, testable scientific evidence for evolution’. So why has no-one claimed it? Is it because evolution is not ‘true’. Or is [...]
Forms and frustration

Following on naturally from my last post I wish to talk about the student loan. Firstly, I don’t like it. I never liked it. I wouldn’t like it if I wasn’t a student and I doubly don’t like it because I am going to be one. Essentially my dislike stems from the fact that I [...]
Fiscal frolics

It may be time to reveal that I have ‘done’ university before. I don’t think it would be an unfair to say that I was not a good student. In fact diabolical is a term that would not be out of place. I did not attend lectures, I missed practicals and I was responsible for [...]
Educational Embarkation
Posted in Education, Life on April 18, 2007 | 1 Comment »
There are many things outside of physics that I am interested in. One of these is the educational process itself. As I have already stated part of my reasoning for this blog is that if I can explain things, I can understand them. In fact this is useful on another level as I am seriously [...]
