Weekend in Kentucky

What a nice weekend in Kentucky at Will's School. We saw a play, went to a Burbon Distillery and went canoeing. Very relaxing and great to see Will so happy. We also had some strange instructions from our car.

Tiny Sign, Big Problem

While at the Thames Barrier Park a few weeks ago I noticed this sign attached to the fence along the river. Very telling.

Magic Berries

I love being at the RCA. It seems that everyone has something up their sleeve. For example my friend Katrien is currently working on a project about taste which lead here to some fruit commonly known as "magic berries" in the UK (Magic Berries). The magic in these berries is that they turn very sour foods sweet. Lemons taste like sorbet and strawberries are almost too sweet to eat. Cheese on the other hand, not so good as Pip demonstrates below. When I found out that Katrien had some dried berries for us to try I was ready to be disappointed, but the change was amazing. We were eating lemons like apples. We of course have ordered some more and are going to have a magic berry buffet soon.

I'm Back! (if anyone is still listening)

After far too long of an absence I thought that I would update this blog. The last few months have been very busy but fun and successful. I finished the first part of my masters in February and am currently working on my final project. Last week I was in Holland presenting my conductive ink project at an Interaction Design Conference. The project was well received and we enjoyed Holland. My friend Andrew was also in town which was great. You can see a video of him conquering a labyrinth below. Stay tuned....

An Early Thanksgiving and B-Day Bash

On Saturday we had a b-day/early thanksgiving bash. Having a birthday so close to thanksgiving always ensures a good meal. After 8 hours in the kitchen, Isabelle and I were completely satisfied with the bird and so was everyone else. The dutch contingent enjoyed it so much they suggested a repeat in February.

TeamWork

Testing out some suction cups that Becky got turned into a feat of human endurance as you can see in the photo above. Each cup is rated to 40kg, pretty impressive.

WHAT AN ELECTION!

In celebration of yesterday's election results we had a little party at the Art Bar. Everyone was happy and London reacted with a lot of enthusiasm towards our new president. What a fantastic day!
