  1. On the metro in Barcelona. Solid mobile coverage! What is this, Japan?
  2. @glynmoody Not many whales in the troposphere.
  3. @glynmoody Yes: burn dirty fuel offshore, clean fuel near shore, for the time being. This is, in effect, a geoengineering project
  4. @joergheber Those tonne-miles-per-gallon stats actually from my food book, not Oli's blog post, BTW. SUVs worse than ships, is the point
  5. RT @spikedonline Economist's Tom Standage, on food prices, free trade and the 'cult of the peasant farmer' http://spkdol.com/sb/72099
  6. @glynmoody All those sulphur emissions from ships also cool the Earth, it seems: http://bit.ly/NfGmG (via @Eaterofsun)
  7. All of which explains why local food isn't always better. Transport emissions from ships are a pretty small part of the footprint.
  8. Also, a ship can carry a tonne of stuff 800 miles on a gallon of fuel, versus 60 miles for a lorry and 20 for a car.
  9. All those big, polluting ships? They actually cool the world, as Oliver explains (NCAR research): http://bit.ly/NfGmG
  10. Enjoying all the #starwarsbandnames gags. Boba Fett Shop Boys is the best, IMHO
  11. @Maxicom Java-based Spotify client, one assumes
  12. Spectacular four-hour, 15-course meal at the Fat Duck. Wow. This might have to become an annual event.
  13. Off to the Fat Duck in Bray to celebrate my 40th birthday tomorrow.
  14. RT @Alltop: Conde Nast ready for the mythical Apple Tablet http://om.ly/cIyJ <-- I think this is silly, by the way
  15. RT @Alltop: Conde Nast ready for the mythical Apple Tablet http://om.ly/cIyJ
  16. Not sure about this retweeting interface. Too inflexible.
  17. .@GlennF Don't worry -- we're going to be rude about the Swindon Wi-Fi plan. Have they not noticed what happened in all those US cities?
  18. Loved the Evan and Mandy show on Today this morning. Very amusing.
  19. Today my PC at work refused to paste a JPEG because there wasn't enough memory. What? I haven't heard that one for years!
  20. Wooh, interesting new Retweet icon. Wooh.
