A miscellany of opinions, thoughts, rants and comments
I wasn’t planning on making any New Year resolutions as such, but then had second thoughts and decided to put a few down anyway. So here, in no particular order, are the things that are on my list for 2010:
Lose weight. That’s a bit of a hardy perennial, really, and to be honest it’s not [...]
Ten years is a long time. Ten years ago, as the 90s slipped into the noughties, I marked New Year by combining the roles of DJ at a millennium night party and being on call for PSINet UK as lead tech support contact for the Y2K response team. In the end, the millennium bug turned out to [...]
The day I got married

Watching a total eclipse of the sun
Going down a diamond mine at Kimberly
Flying past New York at night
