Temperature at which Coffee is Brewed
A great guide to brewing coffee. I now realize that one of my final life lessons in brewing the perfect cup of coffee is temperature control. More experimentation to follow.

Burning Man 2008
Lots of people have asked me what my experience was like at Burning Man in 2008. I find that it’s hard to explain. Really. Really, it’s HARD to explain!
I volunteered at Burning Man and learned a lot as a result. I met lots of interesting people. Then, in one of the “Burner” mailing lists, [...]
Dyson Shell
The Dyson sphere (or Dyson shell) was originally proposed in 1959
by the astronomer Freeman Dyson in “Search for Artificial Stellar
Sources of Infrared Radiation” in Science as a way for an
advanced civilisation to utilise all of the energy radiated by their

Burning Man
Today, I start my journey to Burning Man 2008. By the end of the day, I’ll be having a cold beer at 4000 ft., under a hot sun, wearing goggles to protect my eyes from the wind-swept sand atop the pre-historic lake bed. 40,000 other people will be here with me, forming the short-lived Black [...]
