29th
Jun. × ’10

I hope you can see the map above. On this new work trip I get to visit quite a few new places. Faroe Islands, Greenland and Newfoundland. I hope I have chance to see and do some interesting things. In Iceland I hope to re-visit that very ashy volcano. Other things I want to achieve: [...]

Combat injuries

21st
Jun. × ’10

Normally a 3 club combat injury, for me, is something like the following. This red mark on my arm is from someone (Jochen) hitting really hard, but catching me by surprise. Normally I can see an attack coming, and don’t get hurt, but Jochen’s attack, which caused this bruise a few weeks ago, was directed [...]

Berlin Fotomarathon 2010: one day later.

20th
Jun. × ’10

How did the contest come out, Luke? The Berlin Fotomarathon? I had a lot of fun, but now my body aches all over. I was cycling for about 14 hours. Not constantly, but when I wasn’t cycling I was laying or crouching or standing or leaning over to take photos. At about 10:30pm I got [...]

Swans in the sun

17th
Jun. × ’10

“It’s such a beautiful day, I think I’ll walk.” Actually, I went to the canal to feed the swans. I took my camera, to practice taking photos without looking through the viewfinder. As I was trying to take a photo of a swan taking bread out of my hand, a man walked past with two [...]

New art from Jeremy Geddes on my wall

16th
Jun. × ’10

Someone called Jeremy Geddes asked to be my friend on Facebook, and I didn’t recognise his name. I googled and discovered he is an artist, and paints pictures of (among other things) astronauts. He’s also a listener to my Science Fiction Book Review Podcast, which is how he knew me. I decided I liked his [...]

Berlin Juggling Convention 2010

15th
Jun. × ’10

I had to write an article about the Berlin Juggling Convention this year, and I need some photos. Instead of focusing the show and normal things that appear in convention reviews, I’d concentrate on five other things: Daniel’s Geek Table, Fight Night, The Fashion Show, Sport Hocker and the Fashion Show. Katrin had asked me [...]

25 expressions

14th
Jun. × ’10

Someone posted this sheet to a discussion forum I frequent. It’s full of arty types, so this kind of challenge brings out all kinds of fun stuff. Here’s Adam’s submission: Here’s mine. I made the joke before anyone else: Rym wins, with this topical entry: I had to put earphones in an listen to something [...]

luke burrage classroom #3: club slide-to-balance

2nd
Jun. × ’10

I’ve been a bit obsessed with this trick for the last week. Let the balanced club drop off the side of the other club. As it falls, the weight of it dropping will start the club to turn. Catch again in a balance after a half or a full turn.
