We would worry less about what others think of us if we realized how seldom they do.

All designed objects are propaganda for a certain way of life.
Sometimes we need to stop analysing the past, stop planning the future, stop figuring out precisely how we feel, stop deciding exactly what we want, and just see what happens.
We are not the same persons this year as last; nor are those we love. It is a happy chance if we, changing, continue to love a changed person.

Cave, shelter, ingenuity

This cave home was built by pouring concrete over stacked hay bales, cutting an opening, and then letting a cow in to eat the hay. More pictures here.

Wintering Bikes

Here’s a slice of life in Montreal. The mournful sight of bikes rusting away in the snowbank.

There’s lots of reasons to bike in Montreal. The bike lanes pretty much go everywhere, and there’s nowhere to park a car anyway. Plus it’s greener, and saves money. So lots of people bike. Some ride all winter. Snow and sleet be dammed.

Here on the Plateau, people live in these 100 year old buildings with precarious external staircases. There’s no place in your tiny apartment for a bike even if you didn’t fall to your death trying to take it [

Start The Revolution Without Me: Dr Feelgood’s Canvey

I can’t think of any other band who continued to nail their colours to the local mast quite as much as Dr Feelgood. Even when success came their way, they remained loyal to their home town… Photo shoots, album launches, live gigs, auditions and (incredibly) the bands first eight albums all had some local connection to them.

Over the last couple of months I’ve been on the trail of Dr Feelgood, hunting down these local landmarks that plot the history of the band. How many would I find still in tact all these years on? This project turned into [

Cook’s Thesaurus: Yeast – so now you know.

Yeast is a one-celled fungus that converts sugar and starch into carbon dioxide bubbles and alcohol. This has made it a useful ally in the production of bread, beer, and wine. There are many varieties of yeast. Bread is made with baker’s yeast, which creates lots of bubbles that become trapped in the dough, making the bread rise so it’s light and airy when baked. A small amount of alcohol is also produced, but this burns off as the bread bakes. Beer yeast and wine yeast are used to convert sugar into alcohol and, in the case of beer [
