Seriously though: cat pictures and gengerative art, what's not to like?
I'm told I gave good tube map.
I'll be talking about some of my recent Processing work including Processing hacks and the travel time tube map at dorkbotlondon tonight. It's a Brick Lane one, so no excuses!
My friend Ben launched his project Holy Shallot at Dorkbot London last night. The product of a year's cookery school, a life-time's obsessing and a thoroughly interconnected brain, Holy Shallot graphs food relationships across ingredients, flavours, emotions, cooking methods and seasonality.
It's a great piece of work, and - whilst it's one that I suspect will never truly be finished - it works, it's here now, and it's definitely worth a look.

There was quite a buzz about our maps at dorkbotlondon last night. It went down very well.
Catch us at Open Tech, or catch Steve and Ben at What The Hack if you want to know more.
I'll be at dorkbotlondon tonight, hopefully doing a 5 minute "open dork" presenting a few bottom-up/emergent GPS map visualisations related to OpenStreetMap, if that's your thing. (There will also be a short article written by yours truly about OpenStreetMap in the next issue of Architectural Design, if that's your thing).
I'll be at the UKUUG / NTK / BBC Open Tech bash on Saturday too. It's sold out now, but if you're attending then be sure to say hi. When I'm not heckling Steve Coast I'll be trying to clone a Ted Nelson so I can have one for myself.
