Jonathan Sanderson’s weblog, since 2001.
Over the weekend, we recorded the second half of the new series of How2. Far too much like hard work, but I think the results will be worth the effort.
Tomorrow, or some time like that, I head off to Berlin for a conference, where I’m talking about science TV for kids.
So life is pretty busy. Funnily enough, It Likes You isn’t back up and running yet. [sigh].
This evening, I made a model geyser. Well, I say ‘I’ – one of my colleagues did, I merely helped debug it. It’s not the most spectacular thing ever, but it is rather pleasing in its own way. Hence, it’s an ‘alright geyser.’ Ho ho, how droll.
So, the new director of programmes at ITV is the chap who was the original producer of the show I now make. This is probably a Good Thing.
…should be a verb. As in ‘I infrequent Bar Brel,’ or ‘I infrequent the Atheneum,’ or ‘It’s a forum I infrequent.’
‘Ladies and gentlemen, I wouldn’t normally do this, but…’ he began. And the poem was, to be fair, better than we’d have expected. A tad surreal for the Glasgow underground, but it was national poetry day.
But when, a week later, the same man made the same comment… I left the carriage. As the doors closed behind me, he launched into the same poem.
Heh. Today, I had a birthday card for my Mini, from my dealer. Cutsey, but hey, they got me. Top car.
Satirising the industry in which I work, and I bloody missed it. BBC – Comedy – Look Around You
On the road out of the town where I grew up, there was an old ramshackle warehouse that looked fantastic. Every time I drove past I thought ‘I must buy some black and white film.’ Of course, the day I pitched up with a loaded camera was the day after it had been knocked down.
Happily, Abandoned Places has vastly better shots of such stuff than I’d have taken myself.
A weekend of wandering around Glasgow, arriving at galleries just as they close and posing for ‘Gosh, we’re interested in this pamphet’ pictures.
Top day, actually. Gong highly recommended.
