I’m not ignoring you!
If anyone tries calling me in the next few days, there is only a very tiny chance that I will pick up.
I’ve cracked the screen on my phone, and as it was in silent mode when it happened, the only way I can tell if someone is calling is by the screen flashing.
It’s a pretty good indicator of my current mental state that when i first saw it, I thought that I’d been sent a really beautiful picture of a leaf.

Ben’ll Fix It
I’m feeling a bit virtuous at the moment, I’ve just fixed my digital thermometer after I burned through the cable in a fit of retardedness.
I haven’t checked that it still gives the right temperature, but it looks about right.
If anyone’s interested, it’s a digital thermometer from Ikea, and it costs about a fiver, perfect for roasting meat, or checking the temperature of the water you pour onto your coffee. (yes I do that, what a gimp)

wish list
this is my growing wish list of things that i want, but can’t quite bring myself to buy just yet (especially as i spend so much on parking tickets these days!)
 |
thermometer to measure the water temperature for my brewing pleasure |
 |
scales, so i know how much coffee (not cocaine) i’m using |
 |
a La Spaziale S1 espresso machine for the pimp mansion |
 |
i think i’d like one of these (a cunill tranquilo) too, but i can’t decide if it’s better than my current grinder |
 |
and chemex filter coffee glass for more modest coffee times |
| bike/outdoor stuff | |
 |
alpkit make really nice, minimal stuff, really cheap, perfect…i’m tempted by almost everything they make! |
 |
 |
 |
a 29r single speed mountain bike, for my off road fantasies |
 |
mmm, teva sandals |
 |
classic, old school, beautiful…not putting anything else up my arse once i can afford not to! |
 |
a hand made track bike from jonny cycles |
any wordpress geeks out there who know why my site always look so bad, and want to tell me all about it are more than welcome to!

EMRoS + helmet or ã‹ã¶ã¨
i love google translate, i thought that this was so cool that it deserved a post all of it’s own!
the EMRoS: EPSON Micro Robot System was announced in 1993, and is the kind of thing i’d like to have in my collection of fine art objects in 2093. it’s stunning
you train it by getting it to follow a light source, and then once trained, it can replay the path.
take a look at the translated page in beautiful engrish
