There was always doubt: June 2009

There was always doubt. Saturday, 27 June 2009. Up until now Untold. Has escaped my attention. Over the past few years I’ve been on the sidelines of the dubstep scene, looking in occasionally to see if it’s become interesting again and for this reason I became ignorant of the latest movers and floor shakers. But in the current demilitarised zone of dubstep/grime/funky border dispute that we’re living in at the moment I’ve been exposed to hitherto unknown names. It all started with Anaconda. Night Slugs, ...

There was always doubt. Wednesday, 4 November 2009. I Love Techno Rundown. This year I finally made it to I Love Techno. That annual gathering of 35 thousand or so techno and electro fans. It takes place in Ghent. Belgium, somewhere I only know about because of I Love Techno. Apparently it has its charms but the city is quite incidental to the fact that there are a series of huge sheds nearby that are perfect for hosting massive raves. Here was the itinerary:. 19:34 Eurostar to Brussels via Lille. 23:20 ...

There was always doubt. Tuesday, 29 September 2009. High speed rail for the USA - Part 2. Following on from my previous post about the proposal to create a high-speed rail network in the US, I inevitably wondered whether it’s too little too late to really to make an impact on the American transport network. But what would it take to really change something, to alter the course of transport development? Ridiculous amounts of rail investment and a regime of petro-fascist car burning? It was the early hours...

There was always doubt. Wednesday, 7 September 2011. In his book The Art of Travel. Alain de Botton describes the "sublime" as those things which display a great power, a power greater than that of humans. The word is intended to be used to describe things which emphasise the smallness of humanity in comparison to the power and wonder of nature. Most commonly this meant heroic landscapes such as mountains, gorges, deserts etc. Other examples could include the experience of being in Sao Paolo or Hong Kong.

There was always doubt. Tuesday, 9 February 2010. With timber being an expensive import in a country of palm trees and steel and brick also prohibitively expensive for most of the populace, concrete has become the de facto building material for the Philippines. From Mega Manila. Despite this economical pragmatism, there is evidence of aspirational optimism too. Buildings are often built with future extension in mind. Concrete frames are erected and filled in but the ends and edges are left comple...This ...

There was always doubt. Sunday, 7 March 2010. Streets and post-streets: Hong Kong's contrasting urban forms. Hong Kong, due to its geography and its particular political and economic development, is one the most densely populated cities in the world. This density is evident in the glittering skyscrapers and endless concrete apartment blocks forming the backdrop to every tourist's holiday snaps. And surrounds), on Hong Kong Island itself and Mong Kok. On the Kowloon Peninsula. Street level Mong Kok. Despi...

There was always doubt. Tuesday, 27 October 2009. Planning Permission Refusal Haiku. System, like all bureaucratic systems, operates in an often dry and impenetrable language which serves only to highlight the self-importance of the system itself. When one receives a letter stating that planning permission. To prevent this, I propose that reasons for refusal be given in haiku. Format to inspire zen-like consideration of one's town planning. Here's some I prepared earlier. Is not in keeping. S, there isn'...
