Another Paper Airplane
The paperang - which the designer claims is the best in the world as well :-). It does build into a very nice aircraft with proper wings etc, and can fly at low speeds for quite a way - ideal for open plan offices! This one requires scissors and a stapler to complete.

The Best Paper Airplane In The World?
Cool article via lifehacker - The Best Paper Airplane In The World. I have made one and it seems to fly pretty well indoors - its too rainly / windy to try outside :-(.
Need to build a few and memorise the instructions.. And find some A3 paper to try a bigun out of.

Back To Walking
Cameras on charge - finally going back to the Lakes for a walk tomorrow. Looks like this walk is the plan. Not been walking for 6 weeks or more - but have been doing a lot of biking so hopefully my fitness will be good. Since summer seems to be here, I know I can also pack pretty light - my montane windshirt should be enough, a full waterproof should not be needed, as the temperatures and wind speeds look pretty good.

Meebo AJAX IM Client
A genius idea - a web interface to IM (Yahoo / ICQ / MSN etc) that works without java etc - its all AJAX. Tried it, signed in in seconds to my MSN account and all was good. I think this will come in ulta handy for using IM from friends machines / net cafes etc.
Check out Meebo

The Diet
I have recently signed up to Colin Devroes “The Diet“. If you are coming to this site looking for my weight loss blog, theres a link at the top. Or heres a link for your convenience.
My weight loss mission started in August 2005, when I hit 16 stone 7 lb (231 lb). I am now 11 stone 13 lb (167 lb) thats over 4 1/2 stone (63lb) lost, and theres still a bit to go.

43 Things and Places
Signed up for both of these sites - seems a really cool way to track travel and ambitions.
You can see where I have been and where I want to go here - Marks Places
And What I want do do - Marks Things
It reminds you of how big this planet is - I have seen most of Western Europe and did one trip to Canada / USA. Theres still a lot of things to see and do ;-). Time to start saving I guess, but I am off to Belgium / France in July.
