UCLA chemists have created the first nano valve that can be opened and closed at will to trap and release molecules… Prof. Fraser Stoddart said. “It shows that these little pieces of molecular machinery are highly adaptable and resourceful, and means that we can move around in the nanoworld with the same molecular tool kit […]

One Emptiness

Friday, July 22nd, 2005

Me and Jan finally watched Team America: World Police tonight and it was so fucking great. I am absolutely hysterical now from laughter, oh, and also we drank some WINE, so I might be a teensy bit tiddly.

American Glyndles

Wednesday, July 20th, 2005

Glyn left our place at 5:00am this morning, on his way to his new life in Los Angeles. Jan is quite sad about his emigration. But I think it’s really positive - he’ll be with the woman he loves and doing what he loves too. Besides it’s a great excuse to go to the States […]

Wedding of the Year

Monday, July 18th, 2005

A fun weekend was had by all - nightmare traffic on the way out of and into Wellington though. It was a interesting wedding event - Jan being the long lost step-daughter and all - but we were made very welcome and I think we’ll be seeing a bit more of that side of the […]
