As I begin to embark upon a marketing strategy and demonstration project in an effort to convince Faculty that using technology in education is both exciting and beneficial to them and their students, I happened to come across a fascinating article regarding the use of mobile phones and personalised multi-media guides to archeological sites and […]

We are the Champions, we are the Champions…
Super congratulations to Fernando and Renault (Fisi and Heikki) for winning both the Driver’s Cup and the Constructor’s Cup of the 2006 F1 season. The Brazilian Grand Prix was fantastic and a suitably fitting end to a wonderful season.
It seems, however, that the 25 year old Felipe Massa […]

Yes, it’s the final Grand Prix of the Formula 1 season, taking place at Interlagos in Brazil on Sunday. It is going to be an scorcher of a race I know - both for the Driver’s Championship and the Constructor’s Cup. Quite honestly I am just too excited to write anything…
Go Alonso
Go Fisi (3rd place […]

Friday afternoons *sigh*.
Having one of those “hmmn-I-should-have-been-a-foreign-diplomat-and-travelled-the-world-or-gone-into-management-for-an-Italian-menswear-company-and-spent-my-days-ball-breaking” moments. The kind that I often have when I feel suffocated by living in a small town and realising that very few of my brains and skills are being utilised and that I am in severe danger of losing any ability I once had at being able […]

I have just started using Picasa Web Albums and will upload photos every so often. I am in the process of uploading ones from our England trip. You don’t need to register or anything to view them, it’s just like using Flickr or the other web-based photo programmes out there. I’ll still incorporate photos […]

You couldn’t have scripted the race at Suzuka on Sunday. An incredibly thrilling and unbelievable Japanese Grand Prix. I didn’t bother watching the qualifying on Saturday and ended up just checking the results that night, realising that to my horror and consternation neither Fernando nor Fisico had fared particularly brilliantly and were posed fifth and […]

So apparently I should have eaten a lot more spinach during my trip to England as there is currently a stop on the sale of all spinach here in the US due to an E. coli break-out that caused the death of one person and resulted in a rather large number of people ending up […]

Apparently I’m a whole year ahead of myself when it comes to summer fashion. My wardrobe to England consisted of nothing but black and white and what did Chanel show in Paris for their Spring/Summer 2007 collection? Yep, noir et blanc. How super-chic am I?

After our lovely week up in Shropshire and our two days in Paris, once again we trekked Herbie down the English motorway into London for the weekend, before Keith had to head off back to the States. On the Saturday we managed to get in the Science Museum and Natural History Museum as well as […]

The following day we enjoyed a wonderful breakfast in the hotel before setting off bright and early to catch le metro and head off to Notre-Dame. This was one of the few places in Paris I had never been and so we decided it was as good a place to start as any. While not […]
