Jamie Livingston was a New York-based photographer, film-maker and circus performer who from March 31, 1979 through to the day of his death on October 25, 1997 took a Polaroid photograph every day. http://addresszero.com/pod-html/ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jamie_Livingston And they really do mean ‘through to the day of his death’… Thanks to Wes for the link.

Suburban Mum tagged me and here is the deal: The rules:- List seven songs you are into right now.

Post these instructions in your blog along with [...]

Why do towels and sheets in hotels feel so much better than anywhere else even after they’ve been slept on and wiped across thousands of other people before you? So I’m wide awake at 0641 propped up in my double bed by 3 of the largest puffiest pillows and surrounded by a fantastically squashy duvet [...]

The Honda Zoomer is a 49cc scooter and in the UK at least, it’s restricted to a top speed of 28mph which is not only rubbish but pretty dangerous too since generally the speed limit around any built up area is 30mph. A scooter doing 28mph is not as slow or easy to pass as [...]
