To celebrate his 10,000th day on this earth Tom Scott held a Ridiculous Mini Golf Party for which I designed and built a mini golf hole inspired by a ball bearing Labyrinth toy.

I have updated this so it is now possible to map tweets about aurorae being witnessed across the USA, Canada and South Africa as well as the UK.

For more info and to join in, Check out the #aurora map!

Having seen a lot of talk on twitter about the recent solar activity and questions about how south an aurora may be visible, I put together a map which shows where in the UK twitter users report to be able to see the Northern Lights.

As a friend observed recently, paint colours always have silly names. I thought it would be right to suggest some additions to the colour range.

Three cream crackers. Two men. One minute. No water.

This is what happens when the Technical Difficulties crew meet up on a windy night in York, and someone mentions the one-minute cracker-eating challenge. They thought it'd be easy. They were wrong.

I've been sitting on a new design for my site for a while, and have just got round to sticking it on here. Apologies if I've broken stuff in doing so!

Rate Eurovision tonight on twitter as it happens, see live results at Nul Points!

The name pretty much says it all! I take photos a lot of the time just because I enjoy it and never really show them off. I thought it'd be nicer to stick some of the photos I take up online rather than letting them fester on a hard drive having never been seen!

I plan to start by uploading photos I've taken in the past, and then when I run out of my favourites, I'm going to challenge myself to take an interesting photo every week.

In 2008 Dan Le Sac vs Scroobius Pip came into University Radio York to record a quick session before their gig later on that night. I filmed it at the time, and have just thought to upload it.

Online, we broke the news , cooked breakfast on an iron and threw two drums and a cymbal off a cliff. On the radio, we won the 2008 Kevin Greening Award for Creativity and a 2009 Bronze for Best Entertainment at the SRAs. We figured it was about time we tried our hand at TV.

Today we're proud to announce that the first episode is now up! The Technical Difficulties: The web TV show with experiments, quizzes and stunts featuring Tom Scott, Gary Brannan, Matt Gray, and Toast.

This weekend, Tom Scott and I took The Webcycle to MakerFaire 2010. While we were there, I found some time to take a few photos.
