Chances are you'd never heard of a credit crunch, triple dip recession, or Barack Obama. Facebook didn't exist, neither did YouTube and especially not Twitter. "Smartphones" looked like this:. The King had yet to return, the Sith hadn't revenged and Batman hadn't begun. Doctor Who. Would have seemed pretty bloody unlikely. I hadn't even the vagu...

Method for Estimating the Tip Geometry of Scanning Ion Conductance Microscope Pipets. Stupid spelling courtesy of the journal. I'm pretty sure "pipet" isn't even proper American, but what do I know? I now have a first-author publication. Go me. This, in the eyes of the American Chemical Society, makes me a peer. Into it,...

Following on from the previous set of retrieved ancient photographs, here are some taken in derelict swimming baths off Essex Road back in 1986. The baths were demolished shortly after I visited, though some of the cast iron buttresses were put up in a small park in the redevelopment - you can see them on Street View from Greenman Street.

The Cult of Pina is currently occupying London with an epic season of 10 large-scale shows in just over a month. I probably qualified as a card-carrying cultist already, but if not I certainly am one now. We booked for 9 of the shows, skipping Palermo Palermo. On account of having seen it before and not liked it much. Como el musguito en la piedra, ay si, si, si. Santiago, 2009): most recent and da...

Rolls up sleeves, spits on hands, realises spitty hands aren't that great for programming, clumsily wipes them on rolled sleeves. And off we go. Posted by matt at 11:24 AM. July 4, 2012. On the plus side, this CoMPLEX postdoc is the first thing for which I've even managed to get an interview. Then again, they were pretty short on applicants.

While I was in Philadelphia, in some of the many interstices of displacement that bedevil such a trip, I read Kim Stanley Robinson's short story The Lucky Strike. And its companion quasi-fictional essay A Sensitive Dependence on Initial Conditions. I like Robinson's work in general, and the Mars trilogy in particular, but this struck a special chord for some reason. Highly recommended.

But had to rotate to the required landscape format for that. This is how it was meant. The Olympics seem just a distant memory and London has reverted to its usual mundanity; perhaps the Paras, starting tomorrow, will grant us a bit more magic. But the sun is shining and all manner of things will be well. Posted by matt at 3:23 PM. August 17, 2012.

Monday night, courtesy of the lovely Antonio - everyone has lapses in taste - was spent at the Barbican for a (big, sold out) concert by vapid "alt-classical" pablum purveyor Ludovico Einaudi and his ensemble of talented but tragically misguided musical reprobates. From which introduction, you can probably tell how much I liked it. To sketch something - anything. Hopefully Crocus B won't be spira...
