I’m taking a break and spending a few months travelling around a warm, diverse and interesting part of the world. https://unop.uk/ytterby-quarry/ Wed, 14 Nov 2018 18:00:00 +0000 j.p.singleton+blog@gmail.com (James Singleton) https://unop.uk/ytterby-quarry/ This summer I took yet another trip to sunny Sweden. Having already been to Stockholm many times before, on this occasion we rented a house on the small island of Resaro, near Vaxholm (just in time to see England beat Sweden in the sportsball world cup). https://unop.uk/tfl-wifi-monitoring/ Wed, 21 Dec 2016 15:38:05 +0000 j.p.singleton+blog@gmail.com (James Singleton) https://unop.uk/tfl-wifi-monitoring/ If you’ve been using the London Underground recently then you may have seen one of these posters about WiFi data collection. https://unop.uk/more-on-electric-vehicles/ Thu, 20 Oct 2016 13:51:00 +0000 j.p.singleton+blog@gmail.com (James Singleton) https://unop.uk/more-on-electric-vehicles/ Previously, when I wrote about the advantages of EVs I didn’t cover autonomous driving and only focused on cars. Time to put that right. https://unop.uk/faraday-tour/ Mon, 03 Oct 2016 12:50:41 +0000 j.p.singleton+blog@gmail.com (James Singleton) https://unop.uk/faraday-tour/ A personal hero of mine is Michael Faraday. A self-taught scientist who practically invented the field of electrical engineering. He also started the Christmas Lectures for young people, which are still going almost 200 years later. https://unop.uk/fullers-brewery-industrial-robot/ Sat, 12 Sep 2015 05:35:34 +0000 j.p.singleton+blog@gmail.com (James Singleton) https://unop.uk/fullers-brewery-industrial-robot/ I recently went on a tour of the Fuller’s Griffin Brewery in Chiswick and came across this awesome industrial robot. It unloads and loads kegs between pallets and the filling line. https://unop.uk/9-views-and-sea-organ-croatia-solar-system-models/ Thu, 10 Sep 2015 05:56:01 +0000 j.p.singleton+blog@gmail.com (James Singleton) https://unop.uk/9-views-and-sea-organ-croatia-solar-system-models/ I visited Croatia this summer and (in what has become a bit of a tradition) checked out a couple of solar system models. https://unop.uk/crossness-pumping-station/ Sun, 06 Sep 2015 05:22:48 +0000 j.p.singleton+blog@gmail.com (James Singleton) https://unop.uk/crossness-pumping-station/ You might think it mad to get up early on a damp Sunday morning to visit a sewage treatment works. You’d be right but then you’d miss out on seeing the restored and working Victorian steam engines at Crossness pumping station. https://unop.uk/photos-of-the-otford-solar-system-model/ Sat, 15 Aug 2015 05:02:23 +0000 j.p.singleton+blog@gmail.com (James Singleton) https://unop.uk/photos-of-the-otford-solar-system-model/ I wrote about the Otford Solar System before to celebrate the New Horizons flyby of Pluto. I’ve finally visited all the planets (including the long trip to Pluto). https://unop.uk/watching-the-final-season-of-the-last-flying-avro-vulcan-bomber/ Fri, 14 Aug 2015 16:42:07 +0000 j.p.singleton+blog@gmail.com (James Singleton) https://unop.uk/watching-the-final-season-of-the-last-flying-avro-vulcan-bomber/ If you want to watch the Vulcan in action tomorrow for free. It is displaying at Airbourne 2015 in Eastbourne on Saturday the 15th of August at 14:29. https://unop.uk/otford-solar-system/ Wed, 15 Jul 2015 10:43:00 +0000 j.p.singleton+blog@gmail.com (James Singleton) https://unop.uk/otford-solar-system/ To celebrate the New Horizons flyby of Pluto I thought I’d write about the Otford Solar System which claims to be “probably the largest scale model in the world”. https://unop.uk/sweden-solar-system-photos/ Fri, 15 Aug 2014 11:20:55 +0000 j.p.singleton+blog@gmail.com (James Singleton) https://unop.uk/sweden-solar-system-photos/ On a recent visit to Stockholm I geeked out for a day and went on a hunt for planets in the world’s largest permanent scale model of the Solar System.
