Billy Meets Derren
22 April 2011
We were lucky enough to meet Derren Brown after seeing Svengali this week. He was a gent, and really nice with Billy. He also signed my copy of Pure Effect. Excellent evening all round.

Make a switch just like Bruce Wayne

Remember how Bruce Wayne would lift the bust of Shakespeare to reveal the switch to the Batcave!I always wanted one of these when watching on Saturday afternoon, and now I can have one of my own.

Just discovered these two fantastic retro Christmas tree decorations to hang on your tree. Only available in the US as far as I can see, but UK readers may be interested in getting them from eBay.
Lego Space Invader
12 December 2010
Billy made this Lego Space Invader tile. I think it's pretty cool, and it got me thinking.What if I replaced the tiles in the bathroom with Lego baseplates? The kids could then decorate the bathroom with Lego art. We could construct shelves to store shampoo and soap, and it would be an ever changing landscape. The opportunities are endless, and we certainly have enough Lego to do it.Genius or lunacy? I'm still undecided.

Really great talk by Leila Johnston that I was fortunate to witness at OGN. Made me think a lot about the things I create on the internet, and how to approach what I do next.If you want to get a copy of the newspaper "Hackers" she refers to in the talk, you can get a copy here
