And I thought I was good at Lego...
...if he's doing these at 5, what will he be making at 11?
Oh no, I've a nasty feeling that he could end up a coder...
Jo and I just found this fantastic fabirc and other outdoor stuff shop called Point North.
We like it...
"...and that's me and Tom sailing in it"
(sailing geeks might note the accuracy of the Laser insignia on the sail.)
Ben Hammersley writes about Dear Auntie Beeb in today's Grauniad.
Good stuff in general, and he spotted the really important bits... misquotes me waffling in amost dull fashion about local history and local radio.
I doubtless did say all that guff, but Ben should have know that the bit I really wanted to be quoted was my passionate, arm waving, cojones-esque mantra about driving participation in the UK's digital social network
Or somesuch.
A year ago I made a rather lo-fi website for my kids' nursery.
It remains lo-fi cos my gf never bothered to do the paintwork, and well, y'know. I like lo-fi... 'Fuck The Paint' is my fave Matt Jones web design dogma...
It does OK, mainly cos I use it to play with Google, AllTheWeb, Inktomi et al, and so it comes up trumps for a fair number of search terms.
Well, some nursery in Somerset just nicked my scrappy HTML & stylesheets.
The fools. I really hope they didn't pay for it...
Only Streetmap would think to make it so darn easy to convert between a postcode / Longitude & Latitude / Ordinance Survey X-Y / point on a map...

Blimey. Earth has more than one moon...
And what's more, we might have just acquired a third
Earth's second one is called Cruithne. It was discovered in 1986 and it takes a convoluted horseshoe path around our planet as it is tossed about by the Earth's and the Moon's gravity.
Who owns the land under elevated sections of major roads?
Maps are only 2D, and I bet there's "lost" land out there due to systems being unable to cope with land that exists on 2D maps & GIS systems as "road" but is actually habitable/usable...
Anyone?
