Perusing Stolen Goods
Laura commented on my previous post, noting her appreciation for the photograph above and, lo, I was motivated to write again of Europe. She mentioned the toothless nature of the sculpture, while I found its lack of eyes even more stirring (and appropriate to my recent discussion of Blindness). The British museum website has a [...]
The Only One Who Can See

I stayed in London with a Hook teammate from Paganello 2007. My gracious host was Alexander Dunnett, more commonly known as Stylish. This peerless fellow studies Energy Systems Engineering at Imperial [...]
Adventures in Air Travel
