This blog is an outlet for my personal thoughts and views. It is generally concerned with life, science, nature and the world around us. It will often cover items about surfing, or should that be especially about surfing. There may also be some philosophical discourse. There will not be any politics and very little religion. I must point out all views expressed are my own and are not intended to offend anyone, or be taken as proven facts - there are times when I have been proven to be incorrect or misguided. While I try to be accurate, I am human and will make mistakes, so please be understanding.

More Gallery
I have put a few more paintings in the gallery, probably the last for a while. There will be more when I have finished those that I've recently started. I'm learning to paint with a different type of paint and this requires different techniques so it will be interesting to see what I get.

Recent learning
I have just finished watching
Ri Discourse: Jon Butterworth -
Electroweak Symmetry Breaking
and LHC on the Royal Institution Youtube site. Although I do have
an understanding of the theories this video advanced my knowledge.
And just as a counterpoint to this high brow stuff have a look at this.
More soon

Climate change; what do you think?
Just read a recent article titled
Climate consensus
cracking open -
or not
It made interesting reading, especially if you believe, as I do, that science will be our saviour through logical reasonable investigation and argument. It was also a little worrying and seriously so if you read some of the comments from people clearly ignorant of any facts and who see everything as a big conspiracy.

Royal Institution
Nothing much to say of late. I have written about quite a few things but not published them, don't know why. Perhaps it's because I have many other things going on at the moment (too many other worries).
I am in the process of becoming a member of the Royal Institution, which should be good - promotes science and the use of thinking.
