  • Spoonley Wood Roman Villa and Mosaic

    Reading Time: < 1 minuteRoman remains may be found and excavated but sometimes nature reclaims them. These ruins were discovered in 1882 but nature returned and hid them safely away again. Such tweets should inspire archeological departments, and film and TV or BA Media Studies to document the process of re-excavating these ruins, with photogrammetry…

  • An Interesting Structure In the Mouth of a Cavern.

    Reading Time: < 1 minuteI find the image in this tweet interesting. I don’t know the context of this location. I find the wooden building interesting.

Normally I struggle to find new contracts because of two things. The first is that for camera and editing work there are…

  • A Home Made Valor Hot Chocolate

    Reading Time: 2 minutesThere is a high probability that I will regret putting paprika into the hot chocolate that I prepared for myself. It says to use four squares per 200ml but I used just six for 500ml. I let it warm up and melt the chocolate for the most part before adding some paprika,…

  • Become A JavaScript Developer Completed and GeoJSON

    Reading Time: < 1 minuteWe’re in a pandemic, and it makes sense to invest time in learning. I completed the Become a JavaScript Developer course last night and today I played around with some code to see if it worked for what I wanted. It didn’t. I also listened to a live stream which discussed…
