Right, I'm, back in the saddle and ready to blog again. (Someone said we need to find a new word for "blog". How right they are. You have to agree it does sound a little bit physiological hinting of a slightly unwell person not entirely in control. "I just blogged all over the web". "Did see his blog? My God!" "You better clean up that blogosphere before people talk" You get the picture.) Note to self: the word blog and search for alternative as a subject for a future blog.I digressed. Sorry.
Having not performed verbal gymnastics here on the TED Fellows arena of excellentness for a while, I am a bit rusty. Also not at all sure what to blog about. So I am going to give you the option to choose the subject. Audience participation as a way of practising democracy. More on that later too. So tell me, what do you want read about? You have till this Sunday 18th to say. Lack of interest or time to bother to vote - highly likely what with our busy fellowship lifestyles - will lead to a unilateral choice made by me. Here are the options
- My new bookshelf dilemma - literary journey with woodwork
- Getting an Indian visa and Ayurvedic treatments - multi cultural soul cleansing
- Iran - well, what can I say that hasn't been said before
- How to film yourself shaving your beard - not as difficult as you think
- My current documentary project - where did I put it?
- My next project - aka changing the world without the need to change your pants
- How to make the best home made latte without spending huge amounts on a gadget - cheap shot
- Upcoming US road trip - joys of google mapping
- My recipe for fish pie - that's it. A recipe.
- How not to run the New York Marathon - until 2010
Trust me, even though the subjects may seem trivial presented in a flippant way, I will be sneaking in profound insights into the human condition and the global state of affairs, when you're not looking.
In the meantime, to give you at least something for coming here today, here are some photos I took on holiday in Iran this summer.
