At some point it becomes necessary to stop working and call in sick.

NoLondon is a nice site featuring some digital pictures of London. But sometimes I wonder why we all run around with camcorders, putting whatever is around us on webpages?

Maybe it’s time to start coding seriously again? Lately I’ve been playing around with Python. I haven’t done any real work yet – but I like the idea: clean, readable high-level abstractions and the quick-and-dirty thrills of a good scripting language.
