19-May-08The Petchey Academy is an new state school in East London. It had its “grand opening” on the 14th May 2008. Although it is a state school, it has been primarily sponsored by the millionaire Jack Petchey, through the government’s “City Academy” program. There are many surprising and disturbing aspects of this school, but the […]
Most Terrifying Video You’ll Ever See
31-Oct-07I recently saw a video about climate change being posted on facebook. Its a modern example of a logic argument known as Pascal’s Wager, which goes something like; God may or may not exist You can choose to believe in god or not If you choose to believe in God and god exists you will […]
Circle Pit
27-Jun-07I love moshing. Its really very cool. You need a group of people to do it. It can be dangerous. Its always painful, if its done right. I love the self organisation.

There were two distinct clusters of them. Once we had all recovered from […]
Meditations
16-Mar-07Inspired by Danny Shine’s leaflet (see below), here is my version of his meditations. The idea is not to believe or disbelieve the statements, but instead just to take one and experience it for a minute or two. What if the only time is now, and the future and the past are just my expectations […]
Church of Reality
13-Mar-07I came across this site, after taking a leaflet from a man who was standing on a step ladder in Leicester Square (not Piccadilly Circus as I wrote in an earlier version). He had a sign which read, ‘Don’t believe anyone including me’. The Church of Reality site was in the further reading section of […]
Fearless
14-Feb-07This picture has been in the news today. When a star like our sun runs out of fuel it can shed its outer layers and become a type of star called a white dwarf. In the future, maybe around 5 billion years from now, it is possible that a similar thing will happen to our […]
