A pseudorandom collection of thoughts, photographs & useless facts. Often reviews of things I've seen, read, eaten or visited. Occasionally a stream of consciousness, occasionally considered thought.

Cable Cars
The Table Mountain Cableway was opened in 1929 and today conveys some 600,000 people to the summit annually. It provides safe access and the trip takes about six minutes.
Whilst I won't pretend to grok string theory, the idea of actually being a one-dimensional extended object, or even a collection of one-dimensional extended objects feels a bit strange.
Being composed of totally-antisymmetric composite quantum states however does appeal to me at some level.
Photographs on this blog are generally taken by myself, when they are not I'll place a credit to the appropriate photographer.
