May 6th, 2011I have to admit, I didn't understand much of this post. But, I plan to watch the video at the end – it's a 1 hour lecture about the octonion number system…

May 4th, 2011It's so sad how much we've given up in the fight on terror. Although this is a list based on America, there's an impact on us in the UK, and we've got our own scary laws as a result of the war.
In those cases when our government later learned it got the wrong guy, federal officials not only refused to apologize or compensate him, they went to court to argue he should be barred from using our courts to seek justice, and that the details of his abduction, torture, and detainment should be kept secret.
The things done to terror suspects is terrible, and even when we find they are innocent of the things they were suspected of, they have no recourse.
Brick Lane
May 2nd, 2011
Caroline and I visited Brick Lane, in East London. We weren’t there on market day, so looking forward to a revisit. We loved the graffiti and the vibe of the place. It’s a bit like Camden Town, but more grungy. It’s not as vibrant, but friendly (despite the grunginess of the area!)

The Royal Wedding 2011
April 29th, 2011
Some of Matthew’s family came down to London for the wedding of Prince William and Kate Middleton. We headed down the night before to try and find a good spot to soak up the atmosphere and be a part of the occasion.
While we were on the streets, I did my best to post updates and photos to the website.
We had lots of fun. It was really quite uncomfortable, trying to sleep in a camping chair. It got surprisingly cold in the early hours of the morning, and at about 0500 we were starting to wonder if it was a good idea. As it brightened and warmed, the crowd grew, and we all had fun. The all nighters and new comers got along, sharing experiences, in between stretching to catch a glimpse of royalty.
