Youtube vs iTunes

7th
Mar. × ’10

Normally if someone uses music in a youtube video, three things happen at my end:
1. I just watch the video as normal. Maybe see a music credit.
2. The video is removed so I can’t see it at all, or the music is replaced automatically.
3. If the music is “located” somewhere else, I get a message [...]

A bad flight (and a new laptop on the way?)

13th
Feb. × ’10

The story of part one of my flight home:
I waited by the cruise for my taxi, which didn’t seem to be booked by anyone, and once it was finally sorted I set off with about 45 minutes to go before my flight. Thankfully the airport in Ushuaia is pretty close to the town, because everything [...]

United State of Pop 2009

14th
Jan. × ’10

In the shower this morning I remembered the United State of Pop 2008, the DJ Earworm mashup of the billboard top 25 tracks of the year. I knew the latest one would be out, so I looked it up. Watch it once, then listen to it again and read through the handy lyrics guide.

Goals and plans for 2010

2nd
Jan. × ’10

Yesterday (in my time zone) I posted the obligatory “looking back at 2009″ roundup. Here’s what I plan to do in 2010.
1 – Work and travel:
1.1 – Keep working on cruise ships, though structuring the my time away better than last year to maximize time in Berlin/with friends/doing my own thing.
1.2 – I already know [...]

Taking stock of 2009

2nd
Jan. × ’10

After working hard at my chosen career for the past six years I’ve reached the point where I have a surplus of time and money, so have to use both to achieve all the things I can while both at home and while traveling.
And so, after making a list of all I’ve accomplished in 2009, [...]

Repeating Stories in Genesis and Hints of the Shared Identity of the Patriarchs

28th
Dec. × ’09

This blog post is on a subject which I find fascinating, but most readers will find a bit obscure, that being Higher Biblical Criticism. It’s the first draft of a 19 page/8,000 word paper where I lay out my theory that Abraham, Isaac and Jacob were once considered the same person. Well, I’ve got to [...]

Thoughts on watching sport

19th
Dec. × ’09

When I was growing up, I didn’t play much sport. I think this is down to having a disabled father who wasn’t able to play football with us kids. More importantly (for this post) we never had a TV in the house, so watching sport was never even an option. The first time I tried [...]

TAM London review

5th
Oct. × ’09

This morning I got home from a trip to London. This trip was one part spending time with my brother, one part business (no, really, Mr. Taxman) and one part TAM London, “The Amazing Meeting – London” (TAM) being the biggest part by far.
I’ve been reading a few reviews of the event on various [...]

Mole

22nd
Sep. × ’09

For as long as I remember, I’ve had a mole just above my mouth, on the right side of my face. In photos of my twin brother and I as a child, it’s the easiest way to tell us apart. When I was learning my left hand from my right, so I knew which hand [...]

For any given subject:

Some of the labels need some work, but here’s a diagram which shows my theory about categorizing people using self awareness, cash flow and ability…

Probably one of the geekiest things I’ve ever made.
