I am stupid
I’d been wondering why my photographs had been looking so awful recently… but it wasn’t until yesterday that I thought to look at the settings on my phone camera and realised that it was set to the lowest resolution.

Fip
The gas man just came round to give the old boiler a service </purile jokes> and we were discussing the merits of living in Brighton.
Our joint favorite thing is the story of Fip FM.
For years, if you lived in my neighborhood, you could pick up a French radio station, which plays the best music. And, they only speak for a minute an hour, and it’s in French, so it is totally cool.

*broadcast interruption*
My mother is flying to the States today, and I am so pissed off that I’m not with her.
I wanna see my family too…. and I wanna relax and slow down and go get icecream with my only favorite Uncle.
And I really hope she took off before she knew that there was an accident at Schipol, because I hate the thought of her flying on her own and being afraid.
Mainly it’s the icecream,...

Iggy Pop
I was kind of bemused that Mr Pop was working for an insurance company.
But, hearing that said company is being investigated by the Advertising Standards Authority, because it refuses to insure musicians, made me smile.

WatchThis is a video from 2003.
Lindsey Hilsum, one of my all time heroes, was in Baghdad, when the Museum there was looted and vandalised.
Donny George the director of research at the Baghdad Museum, was devastated and wanted to call his friend at the British Museum, John Curtis, so Lindsey finds him a satphone to use for the call.
I am delighted to hear that the museum has now re-opened.

I don't know what I am doing
part 253 in the series
I am trying to do something a little different- for me. Which is to paint on wood panels, rather than canvas.
It’s been interesting to think it out… what do I want to paint, how do I want the finished painting to look etc.
The really interesting thing, is that I actually started off painting on panels- but that was acrylic and the colors were solid blocks-...

– That’s it, I quit. It’s over. I’ve gone bye-bye. The dolcellate has slid off my cracker. The world has gone tits-up and I’m resigning my position as a functioning member of society. If anone wishes to join me, I’ll be bollock naked in the street tonight hurling my rolled-up socks at the moon. (via...

About the time I was the news.
February 14th 1998 (?) was a Saturday. And the weather was amazing. It was warm and sunny, and the beach was packed.
Just before 5pm, a guy came running up, begging asking me if I could come and do something for Sky News. I’d done little pieces for the local news before, just pre-recorded vox pop stuff, and it didn’t seem like a problem, so I said okay.
We had to run to the West Pier...

I hope the Times is right about this, because I have long believed the autism-vaccine link is a total myth.
I don’t know if you will have heard of Ben Goldacre- he writes for the Guardian every Saturday, and has a blog compiling his columns, which are called Bad Science. he dissects media stories about health and science. He has a lot of entries under MMR, but this one in...
