I had some fun making this HDR photo of Canary Wharf this afternoon – hope you like it :)

RAF Welford

March 9, 2008Personal, Random, Travelsalex

I passed a very well built sliproad on the M4 just before J13 today. What really caught my eye was the trusty enigmatic sign "Works Unit Only" albeit done in the military red pattern.

A quick check on Live Maps found me my sliproad – following it up the hill reveals RAF Welford, the largest munitions dump in Europe (apparently).

Cool :)

My first WebSlice

You can now subscribe to my status updates via a WebSlice if you’re brave enough to use an IE8 beta. Head over the front page if you are and give it a go :)

New Nike+ "watch"

February 21, 2008Personal, Running, Sport, Techalex

So, it’s not guide the Aero+ we were expecting, but Nike have released a device that neatly sidesteps the need for an iPod Nano to use Nike+ foot sensors with.

Looks like fun, but I think the Garmin 405 may well be the one for me when it finally arrives.

Skins

I’m so glad that Skins is coming back to E4 in a couple of weeks. I’m even happier that the first episode features Maxxie, whose Dad is played by Bill Bailey. Can’t wait :)
