I very much doubt that it is energy efficient, as microwaves eat electricity, but if solar or wind power could be used to drive this device which turns plastics back into lliquid hydrocarbon mixes (aka. oil, petrol, fuels) then maybe we can avoid the situation which was detailed in Alien where oil was being trucked [...]

When I can’t sleep, such as tonight, I lie awake andmy thoughts turn to food. I’ve no idea why, but I seem to drift towards imagined dishes when I can’t get my brain to slow down. I think of little parcels of white fish, steamed with pickled sushi ginger and garlic, or short beef ribs [...]
I remember my first ventures into the wonderful world of coffee, almost 20 years ago. My dad has a caffieter (a “coffee press” if you will) and from it’s heavy jug-like glass body would come dark black poison which I quickly became accustomed to. He has a set of very elegant dark green hexagonal coffee [...]
After reading one of Jeromy Clarkson’s rants about Daily Mail readers refusing to admit where their food comes from, I ran across “from day old to dinner” over at twwly.com which is a great short photoset that documents a frist “season” of chickens. I also like their tag-line – “Food for thought: If you couldn’t [...]
after starting my second Jeromy Clarkson book it occurs to me that his newspaper column and books are basically just the rants he has in his head written down. I need to write more clearly. I might even start a new catagory called Rants just incase I feel the need to get some down on [...]

Always refreshing to hear an American with the exact oposite views to most – the freakonomics blog points out that the low prices for fuel in the US are responcible for many bad things. Whilst I was in NYC there was outrage that fuel had hit $3 a gallon (£1.50 for 5 litres) and people [...]
Little bit of time to kill, and was reading About Tom Reynolds, noticing how many things we seem to agree on. As a result I’m lifting it wholesale, and rewording it for me. >I’ve lived in London my whole life, mainly in the North and East. # I briefly lived in London and didn’t like [...]
I drop into Dr Drippen’s blog ever once in a while, and along with the fabulously readable Random Reality, its always another interesting view on the Health Service.

I get very little fun from youtube. Nothing compared to streaming radio, msn, plain old html and css, and email. As has been noted numerous times in the last few weeks, the bandwidth available is being chewed up very quickly by the new breed of applications that are media intensive. I propose people stop wasitng [...]

Dear The Weather, I understand that you are currently paying England a lot of attention, but I must come to the conclusion that you are under the misaprehension that it is february.
