Some readers might find the Hack Days at Mendeley: What? Why? How? interesting.
I explained there what we do, how we organize, etc.

Last weekend I went to Northern Ireland, which was my second time driving a car in the UK. This time I was really relaxed and I found it almost as easy as on my usual side, probably because I’ve been living in London for 5 years and my brain has been re-wired for the other […] A colleague from work wrote a blogpost with some hidden London museums. On his blogpost he wrote about 5 museums that are not widely known in London. Some of them open once a month. It’s another type of museum compared to the typical British Museum, Tate, Science Museum, etc. Recently I went to one of […] Let’s say, as an exercise, that I want to design a new sport. I would start with a list of requirements: It should be possible to practise it indoors (so I can play regardless of the weather). Playing outdoors should be possible but not mandatory. It should be an individual sport, so a team is […] Recently, a few colleagues from work went to Archipelago Restaurant. This is a really different restaurant! The menu has meat from unusual animals: zebra, python, crocodile, bugs, grasshoppers, etc. Everything is cooked in the western style. The ingredients are different but the result is a familiar to what our taste buds are used to.

I’ve already written about the Dojo here (in Catalan, see my personal point of view and how it’s organized posts). It’s one of my favourite activities here in London – very rewarding, interesting, etc. We don’t have […] On the The Saturday Walkers’ Club (I mentioned it on another post) I found the London LOOP. The London LOOP is a hike around London. LOOP in this context means London Outer Orbital Path. It’s bout 220 Km. originally in 23 stages but nowadays it’s commonly done in 15 stages -a popular guide book divided […] Some time ago I discovered the webpage The Saturday Walkers’ Club. If I had to design a webpage with hikes it would be very similar to that one: Almost all of them start and finish from train stations There is the GPX route for each hike (the route to copy into the GPS device) Detailed […] In London I’ve been to many performances (music, dance, theatre, musicals, standup, magician, Ukulele extravaganza, etc.). See, for example, another blog post where I talked of Festival of the Spoken Nerd, one of my favourite ones. I thought that I would enjoy anything. I’m not picky: I’ve been to improvised comedy and Shakespeare (once in […] I like taking photos. Not all the time, and I don’t ask all the time my travel-mates to pose for me… but I take photos now and then while travelling. I very rarely delete photos using the camera. If it’s a bad photo (or if I think that it’s not good enough) I take quickly […] |
