At six in the morning, on 18th August 1969, Jimi Hendrix took to the stage at the Woodstrock festival. In amongst his two and half hour set were many of his hallmarks - smashed guitars, fires, unpredictable guitar solos, playing behind the head and with teeth, and a new technique which Hendrix himself had invented. It happens in our cells as well. 65279;. A protein called C...

Unusual things, murky tales, tips and tricks and cries for help. Sunday, 1 April 2012. Thing Detective Field Guide #1: Try to work out where 'the thing' might come to rest. A bagatelle. A metal ball bounces between the pins. It's a bit like pinball without the flippers.
