Nike+ SportWatch GPS Review

Posted by Basho on 27 Jul 2011 / 10 Comments

“Way to get out there!” my watch gleefully announces. I watch its face, awaiting any further messages from its GPS ROM that has tracked my every move for months. In any other circumstances that might be a disturbing thought, but here the watch and its sister satellite high above my head record my movements like [...]

Stephen Hawking – “The Grand Design” book review by Basho

Posted by Basho on 02 Oct 2010 / 4 Comments

I’m an avid reader of New Scientist magazine. In fact I get it every week. The headline will usually be about something “quantum” or allude to some current or near “breakthrough”. Of course real breakthroughs are hardly on a weekly schedule. I know this, but still I buy into it. It is a classic marketing [...]

A Sudden Dawn: Book Review

Posted by Basho on 30 Jul 2010 / 0 Comment

The story of a simple Buddhist priest travelling from India to China in the 5th Century doesn’t sound like something that would make for an interesting novel, but the after effects of this solitary man’s journey still reverberate today. In all parts of the far east, the name Bodhidharma is still very well known. In Japan, for [...]

Kick Ass Movie Review : Basho has a problem with this one

Posted by Basho on 14 Apr 2010 / 8 Comments

Kick Ass is a film that draws a line in the dirt and invites you to place yourself on one side or another. Or, rather, it hands you the stick and asks you to draw your own line. The super hero action genre is ripe for satire as Superman, Spiderman and Batman are leftovers from [...]

    Hong Kong City Blues – Special Edition

    This is a “Special Edition” of my Hong Kong at night film. The beautiful skyline of Hong Kong at night! Come with us through the brightly lit, and empty of people, Business District and then over the river to Kowloon Bay to look back. The buildings all come to life with colours and lights embedded [...]

    Tier
    Tier 1 – Year 1

    This film is a compilation of clips and unseen footage from the games I attended run by Tier 1 Military Simulation. Before 2011 I had not played much milsim, now… well I recently laid in a puddle from 1am, freezing cold and surrounded by poisonous mushrooms, for 8 hours to spring an ambush! I fell [...]

    Helicopter
    Helicopter Ops at Rolling Thunder

    Here is a quick cut, colour and render of the Helicopter Assault during Tier One’s Rolling Thunder Milsim event. I have put this together at the request of a friend, this isn’t the official film — I am doing an “end of year special” — this is just to wet your appetites! Rolling Thunder was [...]

    Jodhpur
    Jodhpur

    Cesca left me snoozing in our room and went out to the roof top café/restaurant to take some photos of the city. The city is blue, blue of the Brahmin caste we were told, but I can’t help wondering if there is another reason for its popular -nay ubiquitous-shade. I heard one rumour that it [...]
