...is very happy with a good review at Grovel.

Sciency stuff

Here's a cartoon I submitted to LCGC Europe magazine. The must read publication for anyone who's anyone in Gas or Liquid Chromatography. I must apologise for it being ever so slightly in-jokey but just in case you were wondering:

ECD is the electron capture detector, invented by everyones favourite smartarse James Lovelock. An incredibly sensitive detector for measuring pesticides and other electron grabbing compounds.

FID is the flame ionisation detector. A robust and effective general burny detector.

In the final frame I've depicted the HP5890 Gas Chromatograph. A real workhorse that some have likened using it to a religious experience.

If you don't find chromatography hilarious (and why would any sane person not?) you will be in agreement with LCGC magazine, who turned down my submission.

Here it is again in colour, with overzealous use of the burn tool.

Our Vince

I wonder why Gauguin was a little unsure about Vincent before he went to stay with him in Arles....

An A-Z of possible worlds

The second leg of the blog tour (a new concept to me) of the book An A-Z of Possible Worlds is on the Decoding Static blog. I reckon I'll buy this, sounds like a really interesting idea, a bit like Jim Crace's Continent but with more worlds looked at more briefly.

Leg break

I wonder which hurts more, a broken leg or a broken arm? (I have broken neither). It's the leg isn't it?

Another decent review at bookbag.

More reviews

A couple more favourable reviews of Thomas Wogan.

Meandmybigmouth , Scott Pack of the Friday Projects book blog.

Another Myreviewer.com one, by David Beckett.

Wouldn't it be great if we had Red Butter Beans?

Oh yeah!

There have been some pretty good reviews of Thomas Wogan is Dead:
