    Barcelona

    As you may know, I’m a bit of a Formula One fan and one of the benefits of being a McLaren team member (apart from the free earplugs) is you get the chance to go on things like pit visits at Grands Prix. Last week was the final pre-season test for the 2010 Formula One season [...]

    So you think you can dance?

    Tonight is the final of So You Think You Can Dance, billed as the search for Britain’s favourite dancer. The contestants aren’t bad I guess but for one of the most amazing dance routines ever filmed take a look at this clip from the finale of the 1943 musical Stormy Weather. This film featured, among others, Cab [...]

    Bernstein: Conductor & Interpreter

    I just got back from a screening of a couple of Leonard Bernstein’s films in the Purcell Room. As part of the season-long Bernstein festival (which the CCO is playing in), the Southbank Centre is showing films Bernstein made for the American Omnibus TV series in the 1950s.

    Modern art iPhone wallpaper

    I’m usually a bit sceptical of those people you see taking pictures in art galleries. I mean, what’s the point? A snapshot on your little point-and-shoot is hardly going to do justice to the energy of van Gogh’s Starry Night or the subtle light of Turner’s Norham Castle, Sunrise. But while I was messing about with [...]

    Fairytale of New York

    This year we spent Christmas in New York and, yeah, it was just like Shane and Kirsty sang:  there were cars big as bars and the day we left the wind really did go right through you (a maximum of 0° and gusts up to 64 km/h), but apart from one day of constant rain [...]

    OMG Whale Sharks!

    Holy crap. I need a flight to Japan immediately. This beautiful video was shot by Jon Rawlinson at the Okinawa Churaumi Aquarium — the second largest aquarium in the world. According to the Wiki: The main tank called the ‘Kuroshio Sea’ holds 7,500-cubic meters (1,981,290 gallons) of water and features the world’s second largest acrylic glass panel, measuring [...]
