Jottings

From 12/17/11

Springs coming, time to tidy up …

It’s happened again …

From 12/17/11

So it’s nearly the end of 2011, through good times and bad we all survived. Ahead of us all is a shiny New Year, the one and only 2012 we will ever know. Whatever you have planned, whatever you may face I hope we can meet again a year from now safe, happy and healthy. Have a great night and a wonderful year.

So, given the odd hour or two working on days here and there, I’m now on holiday until the New Year.

This Christmas I want to :

• Use my brain – catchup with podcasts and read a book
• Make some things – cook, make bread, experiment
• Discover if I’m still healthy – get some exercise, breath in some fresh air
• Get geeky – sort out the tech at home, rebuild my desktop PC with something other than Windows

I wonder how things will work out …

The plan for this week was to be in control, easing down, closing actions, planning ahead.

Then came more days on the road than I’d anticipated, some deadlines from out of left field and a rush to keep my head above water.

Oh, and a cold.

This is the wrong sort of rundown before Christmas…

Philips – Design Probes – Urban beehive

The urban beehive is a concept for keeping bees at home. The beehive is designed to allow us a glimpse into the fascinating world of these industrious creatures and to harvest the honey that they produce.
