Psychogeophysics Summit Day 3
A glorious late summer day, we set out in the van to Grimes Graves, a Neolithic flint mine I’d been to with Dad not two months previously. I left my camera and eeepc recording above (the grass and clouds in the time-lapse) while I went down alone with the …

Visit to the Konrad Zuze exhibit at the Technical Museum with Martin
I decided to take Martin’s Skrying board with me to the Technical Museum where we both wanted to see the Zuse display which is itself a confusing and patronising combination of hi- and lo-tech with ‘books’ with inbuilt speakers you can’t turn the sound off of and displays …
