It was a nice view.

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.
Public art in Antwerp
I’ve no idea what this is or who made it, but I did really like it as I stumbled over it in Antwerp.
Circuit disappointment
I was able to go along to a workshop held by Technology will save us. A great little tech company with a fantastic ethos. The workshop was at Rough Trade East and was all about making a DIY synth. Something very close to my heart. Sadly, some of the components used in the kits didn’t work at all and so the whole thing ground to a halt about halfway through.
It was a real shame actually as it had all been making a lot of sense up to that point, and so I felt really quite disappointed by the event. I know that they’ll figure out a way of sorting things out, but it wasn’t a great experience sadly, especially as I’d been looking forward to it so much.
In case you were in any doubt …
The V&A digital design weekend was part of something a little bit bigger. I liked the logo a lot though, which I suppose I should given that it was all about design.
And another robot
This time from the National Museum of Scotland whilst I was up there for the Edinburgh Festival in August.
And here’s that robot arm that draws
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.
