Page: Interesting Stuff

Wonders of the Solar System

Just finished wathing this on Blu Ray.  Missed it when it was on TV - actually, I chose not to watch it as I don't like the way that Brian Cox is often wheeled out when the need someone hip and the science then gets dumbed down.  This was different - it's really fantastic popular science TV and Cox's passion for science really shines through, but not at the expense of some really interesting scientific discussion.

Excellent, maybe, if you know what I mean, possibly, you know?

Sync by Steven Strogatz

I read lots of PopSci books and this is one of the best I've read in a while.  I'm working on a blog post inspired by this book - if all goes well, should be posted in the next few weeks.  Also, check out Steven's talk on sync at TED.

Drive by Daniel Pinker

What motivates us?  Not what you (or your manager) think.  A must read for people managers and those looking to  get the best from themselves.  For a flavour of what the book is about, check out Dan's TED Talk.

 "Way Back Home" - Danny MacAskill

Fantastic.  Amazing bike skills, great music, and beautiful views of Scotland.  Well worth 8 minutes of your life ...

Ghost Stories

With great acting and writing, and clever staging, this funny (yes funny), scary, intriguing and disturbing show is a must see ...  If you can, go check it out, but don't say you haven't been warned ...
