According to Wikipedia The ‘Butterfly Attractor‘ more formally known as The Lorenz attractor, (named for Edward N. Lorenz), is ‘a fractal structure corresponding to the long-term behavior of the Lorenz oscillator. The Lorenz oscillator is a 3-dimensional dynamical system that exhibits chaotic flow, noted for its lemniscate shape’.
I am a man of humble origins. My paternal grandfather, Wyndham Howells, was a salmon fisherman at Goldcliff on the River Severn . In fact I believe he was one of the very last salmon fisherman to fish using traditional techniqies in the area.
Today I rediscovered my Raynox M-250 Macro lens sitting in a drawer, completely unloved. I decided to dust it off and venture into the garden
on one of the hottest days of the year so far.
Had a fun time today at Little Pig Farm with Jane Croft, one of the few suppliers/breeders of micopigs in the UK. She has a thriving
and growing business bringing these small pigs from sty into the heart of the home.
One of the most depressing realities of being a web designer is looking back at the nice shiny and perfectly presented site you handed over to a client a few months earlier, to discover that it has been ‘updated’ by them.
I’ve been playing the piano and creating music from the time I could reach the keys of the small upright piano in the dining room. My mother played the piano very well and had a small collection of sheet music which was, and in many ways still is, a mystery to me.
Two tunes for the price of one, purely because one had ‘Shine’ in the title, and the other ‘Rain’. This means I can crowbar them together almost as though they belong with each other.

Loads of swans, a couple who weren’t happy with my presence, far too much mist and a battery that died after a few shots. #FAIL
After hearing Coldplay’s Viva La Vida all over Florida last month (seems to have been a slow burner there), thought I would revisit and remix my own remix. Here’s the result.
The setting sun, a shallow stream, a margarita, a cool breeze, boats returning from distant adventure, flip-flops in the sand, palm trees overhead, and hope for a bright new dawn.
To kill a few hours on a night fight from JFK to Heathrow – I had a go at getting something approaching tuneful and not too cheesey from the iPhone music app iSequence.
My father was a sculptor. He had a rare skill of visualising a block of material and extracting a three dimensional model from within it. He would always tell me when I watched him working ‘it’s in there somewhere. I just have to find it’. His ability to produce an object at the required size and the exact weight seemed magical to me.
