Happy New Year!
A new year begins in a pleasantly sedate fashion, it’s good not to be hung over (or worse) on the first day of the year and the weather conditions are also rather pleasantly refreshing too. It’s very still and fresh though not unbearably cold, perfect conditions for cycling activities.
I am starting to recover something of that sense of welling up energy which again promotes my perennial lust for change, to maintain a continuum of constantly changing experiences in certain aspects of my life. I still dream of a return to a kind of itinerant existentialist existence, drifting through life and somehow feeling completely detached from the artificial world of ‘society’ as if I am an impartial external observer—such indulgence, but intellectual or spiritual indulgence is just the kind that suits me best.
Now moving swiftly on to a very different subject in typical polymath style. The nixie tube project (mentioned below) is now taking shape so I have decided to give this its own dedicated page which will be available soon for all those fellow retro electronics enthusiasts.
