2 comments on Terminal 3After a while, you begin to realise that the only times you get to sit down and update your weblog is when you physically cannot do anything else; on a bus, in jail, or in an airport. Well, that’s not quite true. I could read a magazine or a book, or gaze at the various…

London and Google
Busy. Very busy. But not too busy to have my 23rd birthday yesterday, watch Charlie and the Chocolate Factory and eat some chocolate cake. In case I don’t mention it later, I’m going to be in Toronto in early September and I’m planning to organise some kind of Perplex City/alternate reality gaming meetup, so keep…

Notes from a Small Symposium, and others
The past Thursday saw me make a flying visit to Cambridge for a quarter-day symposium on wireless gaming. Returning to Cambridge is always a strange experience for me; I spent three years of my life holed up in a few square miles of town, so it all feels very familiar, despite the fact that half…

Why not, Who?
I didn’t think I’d see the day when the BBC made good science fiction, but it has finally come with the new series of Dr. Who. I was never a big fan of the show when I was a kid; it seemed completely inferior to Star Trek and I can’t remember a single episode. In…

Race time
My time in the Liverpool Half Marathon turned out to be 1:46:28, which is not quite as slow as I’d been fearing. It’s still a few minutes slower than my last try but not too bad. My position was 1250th out of a total number of roughly 3750.

The Reality Artificers
How the BBC, Orson Welles, ancient Egyptian scribes and alternate reality game designers all follow the same 3900 year old tradition.
