Sunny Saturday
Food · London · MeWell the [sun]() has finally decided to make an showing in London to warm up the capital, and very nice it was too. Spent a nice day walking down The Thames and along Southbank taking in the views, the beach or what you can call a beach though I am sure the reclaim the beach parties are in aid of something and generally enjoying the weather before it takes a turn back to the norm.
Upgraded my Home cinema abit
Films · London · MeJust I made the plunge and finally upgraded some elements of the home cinema by the inclusion of firstly a Pioneer 575A DVD player which also plays back DVD-A, SACD, DVD-R/RW, CDR, Divx, jpg and mp3 files! It has progressive scan on component video outs and it plays very nicely to.Next up was the screen so I choose after many hours reading the forums over at AVForums a Panasonic PWD6. I am still waiting for the stand to arrive but so far I am very impressed with the performance of the screen particularly when driven from the component outputs of the 575A with progressive scan enabled.
shhh…
Design · London · MeWell yesterday was my Birthday and amoung other things we went to see shhh… at the V&A yesterday, and it was really quite good. Its an exploritive of music composed by various musicians with varying degrees of success. Of the highlights was Roots Manuva and a long time favourite of mine, Cornelius. Just walking around looking at the exhibits with music gave quite a different feel to the whole museum and I really recommend that even if you didn’t get to see this, take an iPod around and try and make your own soundtrack – the results are outstanding and sometimes felt like I was involved within a movie
