In short: the Mitochondrion looks as stunning as I hoped for about five years ago. My journey into the obsession of making LED staffs About five years ago, I stopped fire spinning and started building LED staffs. I wanted to have images hanging in space around me while I am spinning staff. Technology (and my …
Finally! I’ve been working on this for years. If you’ve a good back bend, then it’s easy – your weight ends up rolling back into the tissu and stabilising this position. I have a crap back bend, so my weight is far forward from the tissu, hence it looks like hard work. Also, I’m told …

On friday evening, the 4 kb of program memory on the Mitochondrion was 98.9% full. I’ve had a weekend of rewriting code neater, tinier and more flexible. Squeeze code down, write more patterns, fill up memory, squeeze down again. I’m trading off between program space, limited numbers of variables and limited other storage space. But …
There was general dissatisfaction about the number of pictures of me last year. So, in a general challenge to myself, this year there will be more. Here’s number one: Pic by tieke The more astute amongst you will notice the travelling overhead crane in the background, two tonne SWL and worth drooling over, as all …
