Germany & Italy advance to showdown


Argentina was close to advancing to the quaterfinals.
So close.
But after the host nation tied the the game, the Germans, playing in Berlin’s Olympiastadion, went on to defeat Argentina 4-2 during overtime in a penality shootout. It was a tense match from the start but now I can look forward to a hardcore matchup between [...]

Big Ben at Night


With the longer daylight hours nowadays you just don’t see Big Ben fully lighted up against a sunless sky until around midnight. I think it’s one of the prettiest views in all of London.

USA vs ITALY


Managed to catch this World Cup match after learning the exhibit I wanted to see at the Tate Modern was already over. I had good company with Dimitris as he schooled me to the rules of the game. There were 3 red cards issued during the must win match which is unusual apparently, with the [...]

the simple things…


I just want things to work the way they’re suppose to.
Is that really too much to ask for?
I’ve been living in South London these past 6 months and it’s bad enough I have a matchbox sized bathroom, and never mind the fact that my shower curtain falls down on me every few times [...]

Jonathan Barnbrook Talking Graphics


A couple of hours after the Paul Antonio lectures I went upstairs to checkout the Jonathan Barnbrook lecture. It was the first time I’ve seen what he looks like, let alone see him in person.
