The Urban Paint Festival (UpFest) took place on Oct 19 at the Tobacco Factory in Bristol:

The raw images are on Flickr.  The soundtrack is Murda a Star by Sickman D.

I took Stan and one of his mates to Thorpe Park on Sunday.  It was pretty wet but we had a great time.  Here’s the evidence…

Via Andy Black’s blog, I note that you can now buy a projector for your iPod.  Pretty cool… and would almost make me buy one - the iPod that is, not the projector.  Mind you, at $1400 the price isn’t too bad, provided the resulting picture quality is OK.

Stan’s just bought himself a copy of Guitar Hero III for the XBox. Nice.

Call me weird, but I want to play Bass Guitar Hero III - I can’t stand all that twiddly lead guitar rock stuff.

I took Stan over to @Bristol today.  Overall I was a bit disappointed, though Stan seemed to really enjoy himself and that’s what matters.  I dunno, I just felt that a lot of the exhibits were at the wrong level or something, particularly the computer-based ones that wanted you to read stuff, then give your opinion.  The planetarium was good though.

Traffic on the way home was pretty heavy - particularly at the Bristol end.  Perhaps it is always like that - it was rush-hour I guess.

We drove into our road just as the sun was setting - there was a very weird light, a kind of heavy yellow color.  Odd.  There must have been something strange cos I noticed at least three other people twittering about it.
