It was really quite an amazing piece of technology. It did quite a good job really, but most of the pictures took around 30 minutes to get them done. Not bad I suppose.

I saw this at Antwerp Station
It just made me laugh that someone had gone to the trouble of putting it there in the first place.
A bit of the V&A Digital Design Weekend
I love the V&A and this was a great event with some truly innovative and creative ideas brought to life. My favourites being the drawing robot arm and the brain wave machine, which I still don’t entirely understand.
A bit live at WOMAD
This is from way back in the summer, but we did manage a couple of songs on one of the open mic stages at WOMAD, which was great fun actually. In fact, we should do it more often I think.
Wallander
I really liked the UK version of Wallander with Kenneth Brannagh. I’ve watched all 3 series and recently re-watched the first two series on netflix. I was impressed again with just how good the performances were and the very high production values in all the episodes. But the one thing I haven’t been able to do so far is to watch the original series. I’m sure it’s very good, and maybe I’ll get around to watching it one day, but for now I’ll just stick to the one I like.
Some pictures from Antwerp
Whilst I was only in Antwerp for a few days I did enjoy it and it seemed liked a great city and a it has 5000 pubs / bars. Now that’s worth going to right?
Press tent? No thanks, not really
For some reason I ended up in the WOMAD press tent. It wasn’t thrilling I have to say.
Some more pictures from Edinburgh
Turing Fest programme
A really good event. Well worth the visit. I think that if I manage to go to Edinburgh for next year’s festival I’ll have to try to get along to more stuff.
A visit to Turing Fest
I really wanted to get along to something at Turing Fest this year and as I was in Edinburgh I was able to. It was a bit of a stretch though as I was leaving on the day that Turing Fest started. Anyway, I got along for a session on the first day. The session was about aligning the interests of investors and entrepreneurs. Whilst it was largely based around the Edinburgh start up scene I learnt a lot about the venture capital process itself and how VCs and angel investors look at start ups.
I wish I could have stuck around for more of the sessions, but that wasn’t possible sadly. Maybe next year.
