The Bran Report: August 27
http://branreport.blogspot.com/2006_08_27_archive.html
It's good for parts of you that you'd probably rather not think about. Friday, September 01, 2006. I do not like you. You do not like me. Ain't it pleasing that we both agree. We are Europeans,. The original barbarians,. But we're good for cake, canals and cheese.". As such, I was very glad to find that the show (which I've heard described as a musical lecture) is online in a words-and-pictures format. If you like being depressed and inspired, you'll like The History of the World Backwards. No Bran Repor...

It's good for parts of you that you'd probably rather not think about. Saturday, August 19, 2006. Octavia Hill, 1838-1912. Though we have the same surname, I'm going to go out on a limb and say she's not a close relative. If she were a direct ancestor, she'd be my. what? Let's say 150 years have passed since her most likely child-bearing age. Great-great-great grandmother, five generations back. Octavia Hill, long dead as you are, I approve. Then again, consider that six generations back only maybe 3% of...

It's good for parts of you that you'd probably rather not think about. Saturday, September 23, 2006. MSc (Renewable Energy Science). World-famous energy consultant and bon-vivant. We're moving through the list, people. Depending on whether the strangers I'm moving in with this afternoon are as addicted to data as I am, I may or may not be bloggin' on a regular basis over the next week. Stay tuned to find out.

The Bran Report: October 01
http://branreport.blogspot.com/2006_10_01_archive.html
It's good for parts of you that you'd probably rather not think about. Friday, October 06, 2006. So, yesterday I watched the film Wolf Creek. I give it one star out of five, the category of films I like to call "At least it's not the Wicker Man". (The Wicker Man being the most famous resident of my personal Hall of Zero Stars, along with such delights as M. Night Shyamalan's Signs. Birth of a Nation. And The Ewok Adventure. Seriously, what were they thinking? THEY SHOULD HAVE BEEN WOOKIES.). 3) I hope ne...

It's good for parts of you that you'd probably rather not think about. Saturday, August 12, 2006. 64 St Clemet's Street. I am sorry I did not arrive at your party yesterday night. I tried. At this point, homeowners were starting to look out their darkened windows in judgemental ways. "Screw this" I thought, "I'm going home to drink Kentish Ale and drink Knights of the Old Republic until the early hours". It was a good Friday night. Posted by Nathan @ 10:40 am. Links to this post.

Maxwell Edison, Majoring in Medicine: November 2006
http://mans1369.blogspot.com/2006_11_01_archive.html
Thursday, November 30, 2006. Quote of the day. That's how they get you. They suck you in with mince pies and promises of eternal salvation.". Christmas Carols. I went along to a free mince pie and mulled wine event only to be sucked into a Christmas Carol service. What I didn't spot was the bit where it said "service" - ie. it was a religious service. I'm a big miser really. I'm not a Christmas person. Bah Humbug. Posted by Maxwell Edison. Wednesday, November 29, 2006. As I was slaving under the drudgery...

It's good for parts of you that you'd probably rather not think about. Friday, September 08, 2006. You win a prize. Yesterday I got a certificate in the post- that is, in the internal university network. It was a certificate proclaiming that " Diabetes Stories. The Oxford Centre for Diabetes, Endocriniology and Metabolism" had won the teaching category of the OxTalent IT awards. Also, because I never win anything. Posted by Nathan @ 8:22 am.

It's good for parts of you that you'd probably rather not think about. Saturday, September 30, 2006. At the age of nine I was described as "Erudite". At fourteen I was invited to join Mensa and at nineteen I won a college scholarship at Oxford. Today I am twenty-two years, five months and ten days old and I have just completed my first paper-round. You see, I'm a socialist. I have the three classic character traits that always seem to go along with socialism:. 1) I have a good heart. Links to this post.

It's good for parts of you that you'd probably rather not think about. Saturday, September 16, 2006. I don't have a religion, and there are a variety of words for people like me. Some are kind, some less so, but mostly they are attempts at technical terms so that we can have a jolly old debate over definitions. Or "What are pulsars? That is, that questions have answers that are either correct or incorrect, and that the default state of being is that no-one knows. It's fairly clear that the epistemology w...
