Sometimes you find something that makes you want to jump up and down and applaud. This is such a thing. The description of how he did it makes it even more mind boggling from a technical perspective: [blockquote]An experimental film in tribute to Ridley Scott’s legendary film “Blade Runner” (1982) This film was made as a unique picture with a resolution of 60.000 x 60.000 pixels (3.6 gigapixels) It was made with 167,819 frames from ‘Blade Runner’. 1>first step : the […]
I spotted these sat on the pavement just near Paddington.
Below are the “points” requirements needed to get into a local church of England school near where I live. If this wasn’t so depressing I think I’d be laughing out loud. It does occur to me that starting you own religion and declaring your house a temple would seem to be a fairly effective way of building up the required points for entrance.

I have recognised the error of my ways and corrected them. In best celebrity cook style I have improved my recipe with the addition of a a side salad of sun roasted DVD shreddings together with a dressing of lens cleaner. Enjoy!
The fridge in engineering was a little empty so I had to improvise.. Actually I think I’ve missed a trick here. I could have labelled the tape “Can’t cook, Won’t Cook” and called the post “TV dinners”
