“Load up on drugs and kill your friends”?

I love this clip from Annie Hall.

Some photos from the 2008 Village Fete, London, Sat 2nd August.

I saw something like this at the 2008 ASMS conference. It is a view of ions passing through a mass spectrometer with lots of quadrupoles and possibly an ion trap at the end…

Choosing Sebastien Tellier as their Eurovision 2008 entrant. Good song, zjit competition.

I saw this on Diggnation and I actually lol-ed…

This is such a beautiful song. I think La Ritournelle means either ‘the old story’ or ‘the only love story’. [update:] According to a Google definition of ‘Ritournelle’, it was used originally to describe a short instrumental which introduces ground or recalls a melody at the beginning, the end or between each verse…

“Oh nothing’s gonna change my love for you
I wanna spend my life with you
So we make love on the grass under the moon
No one can tell, damned if I do
Forever journeys on golden avenues
I drift in your eyes since I love you
I got that beat in my veins for only rule
Love is to share, mine is for you”

I am pretty sure that this was not supposed to come out this way but… Here is a science demo showing the process of regelation. Where ice melts under pressure and then re-freezes once the pressure is released.

in 1996, a friend of mine (Dan Clegg) and I somehow got caught up in the filming of a really terrible day-in-the-life documentary called Ferry Tales. The relevant section is pasted below. Somehow, we ended up looking like rowdy student’s. Dan and I were staying up because there was basically no where comfy to sleep. Meanwhile my sister (who was trying to sleep) reclined her chair and whacked a sleeping passenger on the floor. The sleeping passenger complained and my sister told him ‘well excuse me, some of us have paid for our seats’… So at 2min 40 sec, the camera cuts to Dan and me and the voice over guys says something like ‘there has been an incident, students intent in partying have disturbed some fellow passengers’… The lesson to me is to stay away from TV cameras and the media in general.

This was taken outside Treowen House near Monmouth.
