London — Contemporary Architecture 2011
11January2011
The City of London visitor centre had a brochure with a walking tour of the city, highlighting a whole lot of contemporary architecture; the Gherkin is particularly well-known (and I've included it in a couple of the photos), but the city is full of new developments (plenty of building sites too), and it's some really interesting architecture, especially beautiful when set against the City's really old buildings too.

chilling in the qantas lounge prior to boarding — I have to manage the 30° to 0° shift somehow, and I'm counting on alcohol making it easier
29December2010 23:04
so I'm leaving in a few hours, I guess I should start packing — what does one take on a 10 week trip?
29December2010 10:14
the king's speech is a great film — incredible, moving story, delivered by an outstanding cast at their best
29December2010 05:53
tron legacy looks beautiful and has great sci-punk soundtrack, but is a dreadful movie, plot full of techno-fetishist digital salvation
29December2010 02:07
getting in a final dose of sydney before flying out tomorrow; trying to pretend like the money's not going to run out
28December2010 03:19
days of eating made running again difficult (who knew?!), but after the initial hurdle gave me stores I don't usually have — 11k worth
26December2010 23:43
i own and love 7 of The Factual Opinion's top 10 songs of 2010, so bought the albums containing the remaining 3 http://bit.ly/hbxTjo
23December2010 06:41
on the way home from work, to-do list finished, out-of-office email on, and I don't have to return for three months #nice
21December2010 20:33
putting together a marketing strategy for a hypothetical product and audience I know next to nothing about; interesting
20December2010 07:22
we're after a backend (.NET and/or CF) f/t and a flex contractor RT @GrudenGroup Looking for developers http://bit.ly/egATGL
19December2010 07:54
supposed to return to work tomorrow but the celebrations are continuing; the year's almost over now, right?
17December2010 04:35
congratulations to @tbearosaurus and @truerelativity — gorgeous wedding!
16December2010 05:28
sometimes a holiday means deleting the work email account from the iphone
15December2010 06:59
closing out the work year now: away down south for the next two days then packing up next week then three months off!
14December2010 02:47
received the gawker compromise warning email, but i don't have an account, but then where'd they get my email?
13December2010 23:59
just published a piece about the WCAG 2.0 transition at the @GrudenGroup blog http://blog.gruden.com/2010/12/what-does-wcag-2-mean-for-me/
13December2010 07:55
linen shirt acquired, thanks to my good friend giorgio, but I'm struggling to find a seasonally-appropriate waistcoat
12December2010 10:42
cool change at twilight. 7km run under moonlight. beautiful end to the weekend.
12December2010 02:00
"my liberation as a man is tied to your liberation as a woman" http://on.ted.com/8lSx -> interesting talk from TEDWomen
11December2010 12:06
well that was interesting, and a reminder of much I just don't get other people
11December2010 06:39
curious that the OpenLeaks model looks far more potentially dangerous (eg to troops, spies &c), and it's forced by shutdown of #wikileaks
11December2010 01:08
fair game is great, but disheartening throughout and its attempt at an uplifting ending doesn't ring true
10December2010 23:03
catching an early session of Fair Game; so far only person in the cinema (@ Event Cinemas Parramatta) http://4sq.com/5c0A6T
10December2010 10:34
watching sarah connor chronicles; reached the "come with me if you want to live" with a flash of recognition #squee and I get the attraction
08December2010 09:28
martinis are a great way to finish a day workshopping; and yes, I am developing a thing for martinis
07December2010 20:58
really enjoyed steven johnson's Invention of Air; part biography, part history, part treatise on science and religion and politics
07December2010 04:30
office environment is so not conducive to writing, so it's difficult when i'm supposed to be writing for work
06December2010 21:01
frankly, there's nothing new or surprising in #wikileaks, but the righteous indignation it's prompting is just delicious
06December2010 21:00
typically cogent commentary from @timbray re #wikileaks http://www.tbray.org/ongoing/When/201x/2010/12/05/Wikileaks
04December2010 23:34
alexander chee has a brilliant essay about reading in the morning news: http://www.themorningnews.org/archives/personal_essays/i_reader.php
04December2010 06:49
i want to follow and update both twitter and facebook; tweetdeck's just a crappy twitter app and a crappy fb app in one; any alternatives?
02December2010 23:35
wearing levis, ironically of course — so uncool they swing back around
02December2010 09:24
#ugh late night commuters' dinner (maccas); I regret it already
02December2010 01:53
finished reading italo calvino's _if on a winter's night a traveller_; an incredible read, all about the act and myth of reading
