Suppose there’s an evil bastard out there who hates the web and all who sail her. This person probably doesn’t care that it’s incredibly rude and stupid to embed and audio file that plays automatically…

If you ever use the autoplay attribute in this way, I will hunt you down.

What’s the point of running?

Recently, Luisa and I have started to walk to work, to help save pennies and get a bit of exercise at the same time. Luisa gets the train from Halifax to Leeds and each morning I wait with her on the platform until her train arrives. When leaving the station, I’m always met with people racing to catch the train. It’s at this point every morning I see something strange…

The people I see running suddenly stop to pick up a Metro, which might sound like nothing but Halifax station is so small that if they carried on running rather than wasting 5 seconds, they might actually catch the train.

It doesn’t bother or annoy me, it just makes me giggle.

Photography’s Longest Exposure
Six months. That’s right. This dream-like picture shows each phase of the sun over Bristol’s Clifton Suspension Bridge taken during half a year.
The image was captured on a pin-hole camera made from an empty drinks can with a 0.25mm aperture and a single sheet of photographic paper.
Photographer Justin Quinnell strapped the camera to a telephone pole overlooking the Gorge, where it was left between December 19, 2007 and June 21, 2008—the Winter and Summer solstices. (That’s a 15,552,000 second exposure.)
