It’s 10.11.12

I only just realised that today was 10.11.12. I know it isn’t one of those palindromic dates, but still interesting to note.

Currywurst, Really?

I had no idea what this was until I tried it. Thanks to Sebastian from Audanika for treating me in Berlin station. Wouldn’t want to have left without trying it out!

The Key to Time: The Ribos Operation

After Mary Tamm’s untimely passing I thought I should watch all of these stories again, but for some reason I’ve been putting it off. Until now that is. I’ve just been watching this great story, Mary’s first. It’s excellent of course. A superb start to a huge story arc.

Bare Conductive Cards

I found this stuff at the V&A Digital Design Weekend. It’s great fun to use and the card kit is excellent. For £10 (I think) you get three cards and all the components to make them into little electronic greeting extravaganzas. What more could you want?

The actual conductive ink is sticky stuff and requires a little patience, but it’s worth it for the finished product.

Tape, I love tape …

One of my favourite tapes. Teac didn’t seem to make a lot of these and now they’re really difficult to get hold of.

The Barn Roastery, Berlin

I visited this coffee shop at the beginning of October in Berlin, and it was one of the most interesting Coffee experiences I’ve ever had. Yes the coffee took a long time coming, but it was really worth it, and quite different from other kinds of coffee. I wish they had one in London.

Some pictures of Nijmegen

I only spent a day here but it seemed to me to be a nice little town with some really interested buildings, mainly due to the post war reconstruction I guess. It was cold whilst I was there, but bright and sunny and a good time to walk around this town with an old friend.

Antwerp Central Station

It was a lovely place. An amazing building for a station. It’s just a bit of a shame that I wasn’t at my best as I passed through it.
