Halo Project

I’m working on a series of portraits of people playing computer games. There are several problems with this – getting the picture right, getting people to play the game, etc – but I’ve nearly worked out all the kinks. I’m not entirely sure where this goes though, but I’ve drawn up a plan and I thought I’d share it with the entire internet.

1. Give artists wine until drunk
2. Make them play Halo
3. ????????
4. Profit!

We’ll have to see how this one pans out… I’m still working on that third part.

Training Into the Wind

Being offically ‘old’ this year, it’s my ambition to ride the route know as the coast to coast before I become thirty. As part of that ambition, myself, Alan, and Brian did a training ride today along some of the excellent cyclepaths in the area. We were riding into the strong headwinds on the entire trip out, giving us an average speed of about 10mph, and at one point one of those old gnarly cyclists with legs like granite sped past us.

(I think we got pwned, but Brian says it’s something to look forward to – being old gnarly cyclists, that is, not being pwned)

On the way back we stopped off for a beer and burger combo at a Lloyds sports bar on Newcastle’s Quayside. Although it was only midday, already there was a hen party wearing masks at the bar. I felt a little self-conscious in my cycling gear, but mainly knackered.
