normal service will be resumed shortly

Would you believe us if we told you that our new year’s resolution was to become more, er, unhurried? How about saying we’ve temporarily joined the slow information movement?
Alright, alright. Ben’s been driving around Spain with a hirsute maniac and I’ve been busy with other stuff and we’ve been unforgiveably slow in updating the blog for a while. We’re very sorry. It won’t happen again.

reasons to be cheerful

Januaree… its easy to feel like a lonely abandoned (& broke) ex-christmas tree…
But lets not. Lots of things to do and look forward to – climate change opera, Wangari Maathai at the RSA, home-made fabricators are go and did we mention the optimistic scientists? Hundreds of them (well, 160) all clustered at the Edge talking up 2007 and giving reasons for getting out of bed in the morning.
Meantime zero carbon is so hot right now …

carbon swap shop?

Type ‘carbon credits’ into ebay right now and you’re met with a big fat blank, but by 2012 they’ll probably be as red hot as a Wii on Christmas eve.
If carbon credit cards go ahead we might get all kinds of interesting side effects. Suddenly everyone will have something to trade, just by existing – and in good old topsy turvy fashion, in general us folk in Peckham are going to have more spare to whack on ebay than them down in Chelsea. What price 200kg of carbon during the school holiday season do you reckon?

new shoes?

hey you. looking good!

you know that feeling, when you’re cycling across a bridge in london in the evening, smog in your face and pigeon shit on the road but you look across the river at all the lights under the crazy coloured sky, and you can sense all the activity and imagination going on, and you just know that some cool stuff is happening out there RIGHT NOW, you just can’t see it, and a huge smile appears on your face and you think man, london’s fucking great.

this blog is for you.
