I just got back the digitized version of all of my dad’s Super 8mm cine film!
What does that mean?
It means we can watch films from my childhood in the 1970s without having to set up a projector!

Last night I finished off the video from my 40th birthday party.

Both videos can be found in our website’s photo and video gallery.  Double-click on them to see them full-screen. Enjoy!

The power was supplied by the turbo-charged (it seemed) power lawn mower owned by the Millennium Green Trust. The picnic was supplied by Katya.

Andrew was in Oslo for a 3-day Bluetooth SIG face-to-face meeting on the topic of the new low energy, formerly ULP, formerly WiBree, formerly…well, you get the picture. The conference was at the Texas Instruments lab on the Blindern campus of Oslo University.
He had a bit of time to wander around Oslo - not [...]

Has Andrew really had 40 parties for birthdays already? Well, this latest one has got to have been the best!
His primary goal was to show-off to the four-year olds what a party for a person an order of magnitude older can be. No doldrums of mid-life crisis here: no, it was pure adrenaline time!

Andrew built up a fair bit of extra time at work after having travelled to Munich for a business meeting yesterday - so he kicked off work at 3:30pm so he could [...]

Andrew has been sucked into that world where time does not exist and the addiction to “just one more level” is enough to make you wet your pants instead of getting up to go to the toilet.
In his university days, it was Tetris; Today, it is Deep Blue Sea, made by The Game Equation, a [...]

Stefan, a friend dating back over 20 (!!) years from Grade 13 at the Ontario Science Centre Science School, visited London with his family. They are just wrapping up his sabbatical in Austria before heading back to their home in Guelph, Ontario.
It was a bit of a shock for them to be surrounded by [...]

Way back in the autumn of 1991, Andrew spent some time on the island of Sardinia, in the Mediterranean, off the coast of Italy. He mostly just hung out because he was a) young; b) naive; c) broke. A couple of those days were spent helping pick buckets of grapes and then watching [...]

Today, daddy gave two 3-minute speeches at the Oxford heat of FameLab. He won his heat but not the final. He spoke about Bluetooth’s frequency hopping spread spectrum technology and about the global positioning system.
It inspired him to register the domain ScienceSimply in the hope that he’ll find the time to create a [...]

Yesterday, we celebrated our fourth anniversary with a night out! We dared ourselves to get further than the borders of Whitchurch. Granny came over to babysit. We each pocketed our mobiles and headed out to…Overton, the next town over.
Oh no! The Thai restaurant appeared to be closed! Should we go [...]
