I’m having fun with a couple of mics making some binaural recordings. Here is the first one that is even worth sharing. You need to…

It snowed hard enough to drive me back indoors but by 10 o’clock it was all but gone.

With the cloud rolling in across the cold ground the Pentlands were obscured and the golf course became and island.
Had a lovely couple of hours doing the Pedal On Parliament ride today and took the opportunity to spend the time photographing people. Everyone was…
Fading between these two shots is a much better approach than trying to merge them like I did in an earlier post.
This is harder than I thought! On my third visit to this site and this is the best alignment I have. It is on…

If more people cycled then the city would flow more freely, people would be fitter and life would be better. Generally you would think that…
Yesterday we all got on our bikes to Pedal on Parliament and protest at the disproportionate cuts to the active travel budgets. Basically everyone admits that Scotland would be a better place if we built our roads so that it was safer to cycle but it is very difficult to get it prioritised over creating more motorist centric facilities. The rally also remembered those who have been killed on our roads – including two cyclists in Edinburgh this year already. Lets hope that no one we know is the third.
I was rather dreading that there would be a handful of us and it would rain but the sun shone and there was a massive turnout. Around 2,000 cyclists as confirmed by the police.
I spent several evenings last week trying to make an interval timer for shooting time lapse movies out of a Lego Mindstorms robotics kit. This…
