Some Animations

I made some animations out of my pictures from India, using my new camera's capacity to take many pictures in quick succession:

This is one of my mum.

This is one of my cousin Yael.

This is one of my nephew enjoying his lunch.

This is one of his parents rocking him to sleep.

This is one of Neel getting a face massage.

This is one of all my family at new year.

This is one of everyone at various points over Christmas, taken from the same vantage point each time.

This is one of a spinning top.

This is one of a game of scrabble, this time done using the timelapse function, which resulted in me only being able to compress it into a .wmv, not an .avi as for the other animations.

Lemon Drizzle cake, by Mark - 99ACOAC

Sweet, certainly. also hard and eggy however, diminuitive in size. Not good, I'm afraid. But hey, they can only improve from here, Mark.

Ayla's birthday cake by Kasbah, Delhi: 3ACAOC

A very chilled affair, straight forward chocolate sponge with one layer of chocolate filling and chocolate icing, so not very imaginative either. Competent, tasty, heavy texture. It was iced with Ayla's name at very short notice however, which is worth something.

I've been published!

Well sort of - in a very roundabout, lazy way. Schmap.com is a tourism site with info about Glasgow that they cull from various commons repositories, hence tehy came across my Flickr photos. Its nice to get some recognition!

Guinness Cake by Dave Green, 1ACAOC

I am hearby restarting the cake reportt in blog form, having been inspired by Dave's cakular offerings last night. We shall have a strict protocol to any cake report, that is:

Title must begin with the official cake title, followed by attribution to the cake author, whether it be man or corporation. Following a comma the cake rating will be displayed according to the official cake rating scale as we pioneered in NYK, where we shall use the Chocolate And Orange Cake from Peckhams as our benchmark against all other cakes are judged. Hence the use of the acronyms ACAOC (after chocolate and orange cake) and BCAOC (before chocolate and orange cake). These are to be used as if one were reading the cake chart as a list, BCAOC signifying a cake that is better than chocolate and orange cake and ACAOC signifying one that is less good. The number signifier preceding said acronym relates to what degree the cake in question is better or less good than the CAOC.

So, as an example Dave's Guinness Cake, which I have given a 1ACAOC is approximately 1 less good than the CAOC, so nearly as good, ie. in the chart it would be somewhere just below the CAOC. Got it? good.

The Guinness Cake was a pleasure to eat, bringing with it to the table the same wholesome quality of Guinness, combined expertly with a dense chocolate sponge quality. In fact quality is the one word that sprang to mind with this cake, which was topped with a luxurious cream cheese based topping - something that were I told it before, I would surely have baulked at, however it weass a resounding success and perfect compliment both in tazste and texture to the cake. The one area where I think there may be room for improvement, and hence why it has to come after the CAOC is in the main cake texture - just a little to homogenous in comparison, I think with the addition of some variation in the form of chocolate chips or something, maybe pork scratchings (on the alehouse theme), it could triumph. But an excellent offering and it did inspire me to file the first cake report in about 3 years, so can't be at all bad.

YouTube - Dan Le Sac vs. Scroobius Pip - Letter from God
A crackin' song, (to be expected from the sac v pip combo) with excellent choice of beats.

In Rainbows

If you haven't already done so, you should probably go here - but here's the killer question: how much is it worth?

But where's the recorder?

I was listening to The Decemberists' song The Crane Wife part 1 and I couldnt help but notice the similarity to a certain West End denizen's song about a boy with an arab strap...

Uncanny.

I have discoveered that Murphy (Dougie) has a blog. It even shows some of his architecturally concerned meanderings. And he has also been doing some performance. Excellent stuff.
