Figuring stuff out...

That slideshow thing on the right seems to show my 20 most recent pictures from Flickr, in reverse order. It could be a neat feature to use on my new “professional” blog, but I think I’ll have to set up another Flickr account so I can control the images that appear there... But that would mean 20 different pictures for every entry, a potential hurdle I don’t really need.

Culture alert: Anybody in or visiting London before August 25th should go see the Psycho Buildings exhibit at the Hayward Gallery! It’s great!

Look, Ma, no hands!

Wow! Check out the little Flickr slideshow thingie over there in the right-hand column. Now I don’t even have to choose photos and think of things to write about them. Instead, I guess I can just write. Maybe that will be easier. Also new in the right-hand column is a list of Blogs. It’s not like the list of Blogs I had before, which was just a plain old list of links, but now contains the titles of recent posts. Neat-o!

So now I guess I can just blab about stuff that’s going on over here. Like we went to Jane’s for Sunday roast last week. Um... It’s really hot in London right now (poor Olive is slinking around the house looking for breezes to flop in)... Last night we went to see The Dark Knight, which was beautiful and fun and Heath Ledger’s performance was fantastic. We’re not going to Lisbon this week/end. And stuff like that.

We’ll see how this goes. I’m also in the process of setting up another Blog. It will either be called “spatialist” or “social designer” and it’s going to be for writing about urban-type stuff. So stay tuned. I might even get the first installment, about London’s council estate maps, written today!

Stay tuned...

Chip Update

More and more, you see packages of "potato chips", not "crisps". Well, at least in the swanky expat stores like Partridges in Kensington. Speaking of which, they sell their own brand of mostly ordinary flavors with fancy names. However, perhaps because it's autumn, they've also got Chestnut Stuffing potato chips. At the same store they also stocked Kettle Chips "seasonal" Apple, Sage & Thyme flavor. A while back I spotted Burts Smoked Streaky Bacon flavor I think somewhere along Westbourne Grove. There's a picture of the package on my flickr site (no big whoop, but it's there because my phone now insists on uploading every picture I take directly to flickr).
