Thoughts and wanderings around the internet, e-government and geekdom.
Happy Hongiversary to us! It's pretty much exactly one year since we started our Hong Kong adventure. I couldn't have had a better partner than +Caroline Raggett to share it with and am looking forward to many Hongiversaries to come. What a nice anniversary to celebrate alongside Valentines, eh?
Edge on beautiful explanations. Don't read them all, but scan. My favourites:
- Pigeon hole principle
- Why the sky is blue
- Dan Sperber's explanation of culture

Undetectable technology. Bing! Why can't we see alien technology out in the universe? Because it looks like the universe. Fascinating idea.

Gemini mission photos. Lots of lovely things, and I especially like the tilt-shift feel that many of them have.

Any lunch that finishes at 20:50 is a good one in my book. Happy early Hongiversary to us both, and thanks to David and Steven for the digestif. Looking back on our flat from on high.
Sherman's Lagoon reminds me of home today. The "NK Convenience Store" in Tufnell Park was a gloriously silly name for a shop. Probably owned by e.g. Nitesh Kohli, but one can hope it was deliberate. Together with "Fettered Pleasures" on Holloway Road (which sells bondage gear) they would both raise a smile every time I passed by.

Hong Kong: I love that my coffee server in Starbucks was called Milk and asked me to go to their rating site to comment on my visit.
I also love that my helper has polished my “liquid wood” floor (thanks for the description +ResearchGirl ) so much that I have skidded a full two feet sideways in my stockinged feet this morning. Lucky to be upright and unharmed: lots of painful edges in that area. Strange to feel nervous walking in my own home. Yes, I could take the socks off, I know.

A random purchase on Sunday afternoon. A quality replacement for the moose we had in London. Now he needs a name. Anything but Tony…
