18th September 2008Look Around YouLook around you. Look around you. Just look around you. It is probably not a big surprise to hear that I am quite a fan of the BBC. Over the last few days, discussion in Advanced Higher Physics has led inexorably to one of my favourite programmes that this wonderful institution has produced: Look Around You. The programme needs little introduction: just hop over to YouTube to watch this episode, delicately laced with finest wit and served on a bed of LOL. Free yourself up an hour or so though - the show is about as moreish as a tub of Sour ...

2nd September 2008MegastructuresRight now I am watching an episode of National Gepgraphic's 'Megastructures'. Today's episode is on the World Financial Centre in Shanghai, China, and whilst interesting it doesn't really do it for me. The main reason is because... well, because it's a building. There's only so much that you can say about it, and in 45 minutes, you're really stretching to find information. To try and solve this, the producers try to create suspense into the program, making it seem as if the build will be late, or made incorrectly... or even that it will be unsuccessful and come tumbling down. The thing ...

24th February 2008DocumentariesI'm sick and tired of watching docs about the world at the moment. Every single one of them has an interesting beginning, but turns into "OMG THE WORLD IS ENDING THIS IS THE WORST PROBLEM IN THE WORLD AND WILL KILL US ALL EVEN THOUGH YOU DIDN'T EVEN KNOW WHAT THIS THING REALLY IS". I was watching one on the Jet Stream last night. Apparently, this is changing position, which would apparently spell disaster for our country. It's just a load of bullshit. Who gives a shit? This Jet Stream was only even discovered 60 years ago, how the fuck do ...

3rd February 2008I Love 24 So MuchBut I feel that there aren't many seasons left in it, perhaps 2,3 or 4 more. Jack, getting older, is inevitably going to have to give up the commitment of a series every year. And, without Jack, 24 in its current form will just lose something that was vital to its success - an awesomely manly guy. I know how he'll leave the show - sacrificing himself to save a friend, his daughter, a city, or even the country. Like an hero. However I don't know if 24 will ever truly die. Like Law & Order, currently on its 18th series, ...

About Wilf's Blog
I'm a mathematician, but apart from that, I'm a fairly normal guy. I used to write a blog - this blog. I write (wrote) about whatever is on my mind. It can get quite personal sometimes.
