Prelude

joe — Sat, 06 May 2006 22:55:52 +0000

I've just started a new web site called Don Chihuahua, which will eventually explain itself, but suffice to say for now that it is about performing music, and is as much fictional as it is factual. Today, I thought I'd officially launch, with a recording dedicated to my father, whose birthday would have been today.

J.S. Bach

joe — Sun, 19 Mar 2006 13:29:13 +0000

I've worn my fingers raw, trying to emulate Andre Segovia's interpretation of Bach's Sarabande.

It was particularly difficult since I've had no time to play for a few months, so I'm extremely rusty.

This recording is dedicated to Mailan, who says such lovely things about my playing :)

UK Summer Soundseeing

What I did this summer - UK Summer Soundseeing podcast

Been a long break from podcasting, so we make up for it with a hour-long UK soundseeing special. Climbing waterfalls in Welsh valleys, folk music in Penzance, what there isn't to do in Lincolnshire when you're young, and why public art isn't very public...

Last night was karaoke night at the OU residential school. Fortunately I was spared the humiliation of singing, but one of the girls in my tutor group has was fantastic, so you can hear Faye sing...

I'm not very with it in this podcast ;)

Science week part 3

joe — Mon, 18 Jul 2005 23:40:20 +0000

Today was field trip day - a trip to Birling Gap and Newhaven on the south coast, to study the geology and ecology of the area and their relationship to each other.

Fantastic day if long and tiring... But really good experience of acquiring raw data and using it.

We looked at the geology of the chalk cliffs, the flint seams and the other rocks and soils at the top, and figured out what they tell us about the history of the area. We also examined the kinds of vegetation on the cliff-tops and figured out how the geological history has shaped the kind of plant life that exists now.

Almost too shattered to speak...

Science week part 2

joe — Sun, 17 Jul 2005 23:16:50 +0000

Wow. Today was chemistry day. We put samples of metal salts into a bunsen burner flame and compared the colours of the flames. Then we did spectroscopy to get a more precise measurement of the different metals' spectral fingerprint. Once you can do this, you can tell what distant stars are made of. How cool.

Then we mixed up different reagents into metal nitrates, and saw which ones produced precipitate and how they changed colour. Then went on to use these techniques to assess the amount of aluminium present in drinking water. Hands-on practical stuff.

Chemistry was always my least favourite part of scince at school, but the stuff we did today was really engaging. The activities are brilliantly constructed and prepared, and the tutors are great.

Tomorrow we do the field trip on the South coast. Early start...

Connecting via mobile is WAY expensive, so sod that, I'm off to find some free wifi hot-spots in town :)

BTW - thanks to 5511 5305 in Brighton whoever you are for letting me stowaway on your broadband wireless!!

Science week part 1

joe — Sat, 16 Jul 2005 23:50:48 +0000

This is the first of a week of podcasts from my science practise residential school with the Open University.

I've come to the University of Sussex at Lewes near Brighton, UK. The course is SXR103 Practising Science. I'm going to use these podcasts to keep notes of what we do, and see where using podcasting as a learning support will take me.

The first thing I've learnt is that while Sussex Uni doesn't have wireless internet access, I can use my mobile to connect to the internet!!! So these podcasts will be short and sweet, cos its slow and expensive :(

Soundseeing in Budapest

joe — Thu, 30 Jun 2005 14:08:04 +0000

Our friend Sarah decided to celebrate her birthday in Budapest, so we - Sarah, Alain, Cath, and I - went for a long weekend. You may or may not be pleased to know that I learnt to say 'Please can you mince it?' in Hungarian. This podcast is about jingles, graffiti, the war, the meaning of life, and facial carpet-burns.

The Wedding Song

joe — Wed, 29 Jun 2005 18:45:13 +0000

Chris and George got married and Cath sang at the wedding and I accompanied on guitar, and Iron and Wine wrote the song and Cath replaced the words with her own, and we changed the name from 'Naked as we Came' to 'Happily we Came', and then we recorded it and put it on a CD for Chris and George, and then we made this podcast:
