We were delighted to receive news yesterday that Matt and Claire have created a whole new person for the world and called him Henry. More…

It’s Sunday and Em’s spent the weekend playing volleyball in the sun. I’ve been inside working on code. I’ve paused to watch the Grand Prix, hoping it’ll be a good one, but after 52 laps (with 21 to go) I have to say this is dull. It’s like watching an episode of The Simpsons or Friends, because every shot I’m thinking “hey, haven’t I seen this one before?”. More…

We just got a message from Ann, tipping us off about Rick Moeller’s new cycling blog. Anyone who’s met Rick will know that he’s not one to dwell on the irrelevant things in life unless there’s good humor [sic] to be had therein, so it should be an enjoyable as well as insightful periodical. More…

I’m very pleased to report that, at last, I have an acoustic guitar that is playable; debates may rage for years about whether I can actually play it, but it’s undeniable that someone more competent than me could probably bash out a good tune. More…

BoingBoing just featured the smiley-face crater that can be seen on Mars (or if you can’t see that far, on the ESA Mars Express website). Yes, it’s got two eyes, a little nose and a smile, but this looks too much like the Millennium Falcon to ignore. More…

Immitation, I am told, is the most sincere form of flattery, so the story going around that Maxim have created the first advert that can be viewed from space could be a rather swift homage to my iPod gag… or they were planning this for a long time and I inadvertently pulled the rug from under their feet. Oops. More…
