Video Edition: Rock Climbing in Austin, Texas
Blog: Tales from Technomadia - 9 June 2009
I grew up in South Austin, not too far from the Barton Creek Greenbelt. In fact, we could hike to it from our house. It was a wonderful place to grow up and be out in nature, but yet part of a progressive urban city. My brother still lives in Austin, so it’s a frequent destination [...]

Down at Del Rio
Blog: Send The Bugger Back - 22 April 2009
The Stranglers once said “No more heroes anymore”, they were wrong.

Blog: Send The Bugger Back - 22 April 2009
Bonus post people. I don’t know what it is about the States, but this is the 2nd time I’ve had a ridiculously bad hangover which hasn’t hit until the afternoon. It’s murder.

Playing the old waiting game
Blog: Send The Bugger Back - 21 April 2009
Oh oh, I appear to have sunburn. My pale British skin does not know how to contend with 2 days of sunshine on the trot. The last time I had a tan was 14 years ago when I was in Tenerife as a lad of 12. On the walk home last night (another 3 miles, [...]

Keep Austin weird
Blog: Send The Bugger Back - 20 April 2009
It was Sunday and not many buses were running so I couldn’t be arsed with the 3 mile walk into town last night. After a good night’s rest I awoke to completely perfect weather and happily walked into the city. If California is the sunshine state Texas must have run them pretty close for the [...]

Goodbye San Anton. A nice city that I shall return to one day. I’m at the Greyhound station again now. CHAOS!!! No one seems to know which direction you should be queuing in (there’s a door at either side of the rope) and as I was the first person here 2 lines seem to have [...]
