The Regal Room, Hammersmith – the videos

Here are a few videos from the gig last night. They’re pretty large, and will easily scale to full screen if you have the bandwidth. Again, the audio quality is a bit ropey – I also had some problems with the autofocus. But hey, it’s better than nothing (but not as good as being there!) I’ll post first...

Kepler living up to its promise

The Kepler mission was launched March 6th, 2009 from Cape Canaveral. It’s about 2.7m diameter and 4.7m long, and weighed about a tonne at launch. Its 1.4m mirror is coupled to a sensitive photometer and it will be spending three and a half years staring at the same spot in the sky. Sound kinda boring? Well, staring at one...

Another asteroid buzzes Earth

Newly-discovered asteroid 2011 CQ1 will make its closest approach to earth around 1700GMT – about 20 minutes time. The ‘miss distance’ (yes, that’s the technical term) is 60,000 miles, or about a quarter of the distance to the moon. It’s 2m across so about the size of a family car. You can see a...

A lovely bright evening in West London, Jon and I headed down to The Regal Rooms in Hammersmith to see Natalie Ross and 3 other acts. A most pleasant evening was had by all. Vids to follow!

I’M SO TIRED I’m so tired of the government fiddling interest rates And I’m so tired, you sign a form and seal your fate And I’m so tired of being afraid to turn up late And I’m so tired of working for no reward I’m so tired of businessmen a-raking in And I’m so tired of pensioners being...
