4x4

A great project by David Stoll - it's amazing what you can do with 16 pixels & how little help you need to recognize things.

Whisky - A Science & An Art

A nice little article about the creation of whisky - it is so steeped in heritage & is so complicated to produce that it makes me appreciate the spirit even more. I just need to find a decent whisky shop in London now!

RACER

AWESOME!

When The Wind Blows

Just finished watching the animated film "When The Wind Blows" based on the book by Raymond Biggs. All I can say is watch the film for yourself - it's a bit dated, but you can really relate to the characters "Keep calm & carry on" attitude.

Books

I forgot to post all of the books I've read for the past couple of months, so here they are. I am slowly spreading out my reading list into more genres, but most of the books are somehow sci-fi related.

Brave New World - Aldous Huxley
The Road - Cormac McCarthy
Child of God - Cormac McCarthy
Crash - J.G. Ballard
The Picture of Dorian Gray - Oscar Wilde

Black Jack

I've just discovered this Japanese comic by Osamu Tezuka called Black Jack, a rogue, extremely talented unlicensed surgeon. From what I've seen, the mix of accurate medical diagrams & graphic scenes of surgery, I think this would be right down my alley!
