me right now (ish)

Thanks to reading this

Take a picture of yourself right now. Don’t change your clothes. Don’t fix your hair. Just take a picture. ( Post that picture with no editing. )
(Except maybe to get the image size down to something reasonable. Don’t go posting an eight megapixel image.) Include these instructions.

all over the internet here’s your meme you lucky people.

Now would be a good time to point out that in a moment of madness I made a page on here of photos of me over the years (which is actually a stalled blog post yet to be edited up) and also that when I remember I do tag myself on flickr.

And yes, that is a poor photo, in a fit of annoyance at my post on mp3 player sizes my N95 promptly died on Friday. Must get it to the repair shop tomorrow, for now I’m two generations back on my Sony Ericsson K700i.

The Future Of British Rail Is In Derby

No, really. Nipped around the Derby Industrial Museum which contains a fascinating almost entirely backlit exhibition about British Rail Research. Sadly BR Research didn’t last much after the 1991 creation of this museum, but as you can see from the following photos this place was and is all about the future. And with talk of 140mph trains, it’s a future we’re still yet to see to be honest.
