Yesterday we were at the Beach Soccer stadium which has been temporarily built in Brighton for the Kronenbourg Cup with the help of 400 tonnes of sand.
The rules are different from the football we're used to, in that there are three periods of 12 minutes, a blue card which sends players to the sin bin and there must always be a winner, via extra time or penalties.
We saw Italy v. Portugal and France v. England (and yes, Eric Cantona was there for the game).
Entertaining stuff, and I'd certainly go see it again.
I don't know what this shark was doing there.

I take it that this garage in Reno, Nevada wasn't too impressed with fuel prices!

- Great picture. I'll guess that the garage owner hasn't been across the pond recently though!

Wow, science fiction is close to becoming to science reality according to this article in computing. By the middle of next year the Home Office Immigration and Nationality Directorate hope to have an Iris Recognition System installed at 10 UK sites which will be used by regular Non-UK passengers.

Well I'm not in London very often at the moment, but this directory of wireless access points looks to be quite useful.

I've just booked us some tickets for the Beach Soccer at Brighton Beach on Saturday. We get to see an exhibition match, Portugal v Italy and England v France. And yes, I know we don't have a sandy beach down here in Brighton, that's why they deliver trucks full of sand

Well, that was fun. I've just got back from 10 days in California. Richard headed out a little over 2 weeks ago for the JavaOne conference (more on that later probably) and then I flew out to meet him to make a holiday of it. We spent the weekend in San Francisco, before hiring a car and heading off to Lake Tahoe for a couple of days, on to the Napa Valley (wine country) and finishing off driving around Marin County. (I even queued in a book store at midnight on Friday to get my (hideously overpriced) Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix - still it made excellent plane reading
Now I've just got to process the 500 or so photos...

I spent some of yesterday at the In-store Design and Marketing show at Earls Court, which was, er, very quiet. The product I've been working on for the last 18 months was being demonstrated as part of Augustin Martin's product porfolio and so I went along to have a look around the rest of the show as well as to get an idea of the reception. I had chats with a few interesting companies, and they all said the same thing - the turnout was dissapointing. In fact, a lot of them were happy to chat to me (a techy and not a retail marketer) just to pass some time. Still, it was a day out of the office and a chance to collect some more promotional pens

The launch of the first Nasa Mars mission has been delayed again. It was supposed to go on Sunday, but thunderclouds prevented it. Another attempt was going to be made yesterday but the threat of thunderstorms stopped it going. They're hoping to get it off today.

It looks like fotolog is getting some pretty impressive news coverage these days. The latest is in Wired News.

Yesterday Beagle 2 was successfully launched from Baikonur and is now on it's way with Mars Express to Mars. Footage of the launch is available courtesy of the European Space Agency.

My new lenses for my G3 arrived today. I've bought a 2x telephoto lens (Kenko KNT 20) and a 0.72x wideangle lens (Raynox DCR 720), as well as a couple of Kenko lens adapters from The Filter Connection. Shame I haven't got a G3 to put them on at the moment
Posted by Jane at 4:57 PM, but hopefully it will be back at the end of the week.
