This is from sci-ence.org: I open with this, because it’s kinda cute, kinda fun, and I don’t want tempers to fray before I’ve even got a paragraph in. So, this time last year, I took the train from Carcasson to Toulouse. I say that… I took a long series of ever-increasingly-delayed trains to Toulouse, but …

I love the British Museum. Love it love it love it. During GCSE Art, I’d go camp out in the South East Asian gallery and just draw stuff. Not very well, I hasten to add – my Art report always called me ‘bold’, a nice way of saying ‘can’t draw a straight line if she …

So I’ve never really got into the Star Trek thing. But I saw the last re-vamped film and had to admire the way in which things blew up, people growled and tortured souls battled each other for internal reconciliation and galactic peace. I mean, who wouldn’t…? That said, I wasn’t in a huge hurry to …

So we’re getting quite near the publication date of the Glass God (whoop whoop!) and I figure I’d take this moment to lift some of the litany of complaints from the forthcoming book, that your average mystic community support officer can run into at work… Sharon was not a morning person. She sat behind …

Things I learnt at my Grade 4 Escrima Exam: 1. If you wanted to unleash pathogenic mayhem on East London, my escrima club is the perfect place to do so. When we meet for a class, there is a ritual shaking of hands. Doesn’t matter who you are or how long you’ve been training, …

So, these guys: http://www.pornokitsch.com/ … are cool. They’re cool people who keep a cool blog and like cool books. Actually, more than that – they like awesome books. They like exciting fantasy and science fiction that’s intelligent, interesting, and not necessarily something you’d expect to find on the 2-for-1 table of your local bookshop with …

Funny how you can think you know a place and then, one not very special day at all, you look left and spot something completely different. Take Postman’s Park. I think I know the area around St. Pauls reasonably well. As a kid I used to do violin lessons in the Barbican, and it was …

Look! Something I can talk about! I wrote a short story for these dudes… http://alchemypress.blogspot.co.uk/ … and it’s being published and everything in a book called Urban Mythic, scheduled for later this year. I mean, I grant you it’s short, but in fairness, other cool dudes wrote loads of short stories too so technically it’s …

This… http://vimeo.com/41038445 … made me happy. And slightly less ignorant. I mean, still pretty ignorant. But slightly less so.

I’m a theatre lighting designer. We take 3-6 weeks to think about a design. Every instrument is carefully positioned, focused and plotted. We pick our colours carefully, analyse scenes and then spend anywhere between 12-72 hours stuck behind a lighting desk carefully constructing every single moment of a play. Added to this, I know little …
