This caused a bit of a stir in Perth. Looking at dash cams it appeared to pass overhead. But it was somewhere on the south coast, maybe over the sea. #globalmetrornetwork

In which we discovered a Honda CBR500R is unexpectedly competent off-road.

Yeah, I miss watching a pro driver craft an overtake, testing a line, applying pressure, backing off. It used to brew up over several laps.

Today's task is to reduce the performance of my motircycle by fitting a windshield. I should have bought a Versys. Or a maxi scooter. Actually, I probably should have got a scooter.

They pester you to install the 'app', then moan that your phone needs to be updated.

Satellite trails dominating an image. The faint lines in the background are mainly star trails.

A stacked image of the night sky. In the background are star trails, in the foreground sattelite trails.

Crux in the top left hand corner of the image.

Calling astrophotographers!!! Garith Yang from UCL is conducting a research study into how aircraft and satellites intersect with astrophotography practices and how they shape a photographer's perception of the night sky. Take part by filling in this short questionnaire: tinyurl.com/yncd593j

I'm making a documentary about concrete. It's going to be a blockbuster.

I don't take it for granted; and it is a rich blessing. No matter what the day brought me, good or ill, it's done. Time for sleep.

We don't always live like this, just trying to move house whilst keeping the rest of life flying along.

Same. We touch 40 from time to time. Give me -5 any day.

It's unbearable actually. Can't wait to move into a house which is not an oven.

For bonus points, steam vegetables over the cooking pasta.

Dave Rollinson @daverol.bsky.social · 01/01/2026

I put half the water in a pan, the other half in s kettle. Bring both to the boil, which as the mass of water is divided between two heating devices, is quicker. Salt the water in the pan, add water from kettle. Once boiling furiously, add the pasta, reboil, cook al dente.

Impressive track-stacks from our #GMN/#UKMeteorNetwork #RaspberryPi #MeteorCameras in #Oxfordshire 13/14 Dec '25. The satellite/aircraft trails are not counted as meteors; they were just in the frame at the same time as a meteor occurred #Geminids #Geminids2025 #MeteorShower #GeminidMeteors

Looking forward to seeing with my own eyes in a few hours.

Satellites and a couple of meteors. It is getting out of hand.

Two bright meteors in front of a tight comb of satellite trails, almost like Lissajous figures.

Australia has so much electricity from solar power that it is going to start offering free electricity to everyone for at least three hours during the day as the wholesale price of power goes negative electrek.co/2025/11/04/a...

Australia has so much solar that it's offering everyone free electricity

Australia's extensive solar power penetration makes so much energy that the government wants to offer free electricity at peak hours.

It's not OK. All we can hope is that enough is left to hold them accountable, and undo the damage.

Over here substantially cheaper. You can get new for same price as 4 yr old used Japanese brand. I nearly bought a CFMoto 650CC, but saw a Honda in the exact colours I wanted the day before I placed my order.

Riding my Honda I see people of all ages driving marques I'd never heard of 5 years ago. But when the finance deals are so good, and the quality is comparable... Can you be surprised?

Non-consensual. As in forced. Yuck.
