30 Days Time Lapse at Sea

These days the news is full of stories about the rise of AI. Well, Trump, North Korea, Brexit and AIs. Everything is basically alarming and it is hard to know what to be most shit scared about next.
There are some interactive elements – such as docking (fairly easy) and landing (fairly impossible) – but this is essentially a documentary experience.
I haven’t done this for ages, so it seems the perfect time to publicise my short collection of lighthearted travel tales. “Australia, Morocco, and Thailand. Three True Travel Stories”.
Now you can visit the International Space Station in Google Street View thanks to science and technology and some amazing people.
In this clip, the drummer’s camera was on and the speakers played Bohemian Rhapsody. Londoners love a sing a long and everyone loves Queen. It’s not often you hear 65,000 people sing.
Far Cry Primal is a lot like Far Cry 3 and 4 except it is set 12,000 years ago so instead of a ludicrous amount of guns and grenades, you … Read More
Documenta is a huge art festival that takes place in Kassel, Germany, every 5 years. This one, the 14th, is also simultaneously taking place in Athens. We went to Kassel a couple of weeks ago, so thought I might as well post a load of pictures.
I’m back from holiday and settling into the calm serenity that is my home in Bangkok. It was a superb but exhausting trip to the UK and two arts festivals in Germany – Documenta in Kassel and a sculpture project in Muenster.
I am about to leave the hot and rainy Bangkok and go to the apparently warm and not too rainy UK. After that will be a trip to Germany and the towns of Kassel and Muenster for Documenta and a ton of art. I am a bit worried as I have made the momentous decision to travel with just my iPad Pro (for writing and entertainment) and a Samsung 8+ (for photos and the internet) and no laptop.
This is essentially an interactive 90-minute story featuring you, the Batman, being the world’s greatest detective.
How the hell does he do this? Ok, I guess everyone knows how this guy does the old ‘disappearing thumb’ trick, it is as old as – probably the thumb.
This is a great video featuring the always watchable Neil deGrasse Tyson about what science is and why it is important. It is also slightly depressing. Essentially, if you are against … Read More
NASA has opened an archive site that hosts 140,000 files of space-related awesomeness. It should keep you in screensaver images for a long time – possibly forever as they said they will continue to add to it.
I think this is one of the greatest things I have seen on the internet. People are photoshopping Mr Bean’s superb face into everything from movies to politicians to classical … Read More
A highly talented and possibly slightly bored fellow called Jan Fröjdman has taken lots of detailed photos from the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter and put them together to create an amazing flyover of … Read More
In case you didn’t know, to catfish is when someone pretends to be someone else online and then strings some poor sod along. Sometimes it’s for money, other times because… I don’t know, people are weird.
Essentially this clip just mocks really dumb people but with the classically trained Shakespearean actor Patrick Stewart delivering the words. Which is great, right?
NASA has stitched together 100 photos from the New Horizons flyby in 2015 to give an idea of what it would be like to land on Pluto. In colour!
I’m sure you have read articles about increasing numbers of people retreating into their personal space, interacting solely through the internet and no longer being interested in having sex. Or at least relationships. Then there are the articles that say this is bollocks.
