On the train again. Going away this time. It’s the earliest I’ve been up in a while. Still dark, I saw myself in the window,  blobs and shapes of things whiz by. I’m a little sick to my stomach maybe hungover. We only had two pints, even at my birthday...

I just found my family tree, at least, for one grandparent. It goes back to 1819, but some came across from Ireland in 1847. Which I have read was the worst year of the famine. Many people didn't make it or died on the ship. Something the tree doesn't mention....

It seems obvious that just creating a new technique to view the stars always comes before new discoveries in astronomy. Although, I don't know the history of specific technological advances, its easy to picture. Before a telescope you couldn't really see the surface of the moon, then bam, wow what...

Recently I cam across an article about scientific stagnation, well the article isn't just about science, but all creative areas and unfortunately, they are all stagnating. In the movie industry we are only making re-runs, and in science we are only publishing incremental ideas. Both though, because of data and...

The thing was the case was for the wrong phone. She pointed at the right one but I just chose one I liked, it is pretty right. So nice, I mean we can just pop back down and get another one, next weekend, or the weekend after next. Well can...

To get back in the process of daily notes. Not just on adagia but in general, I used to keep a small journal in my pocket and write down notes of my day, something funny, or science ideas. I stopped this, my pockets were too full. Or I am not...

A full week I have been writing some in private some in public, and it feels nice and rewarding. Like looking back at a running week, or something like that. I imagine its also how people feel when they have a garden. Something I admire about one of my housemates...

I got to work early again, at 8, so for some people not that early. I prefer the quiet, no one is really here until ten. This always surprises me because when I worked with my dad everyone was there at 8:30. But in the UK people are different schedules,...

Today I remember something BillStockham and I talked a long time about. Google x. Google x is a 'moonshot' company that tries to invent crazy companies or patent ideas that will be possible in the future. One of these linked above is Loon,...

Just realised I didn't submit something yesterday, oh well, so here I am coming in early to work to try to make this a habit. We will see how it goes. I have been noticing the easiness of writing now when writing everyday, and more ideas are coming into my...
