I went to a dinner with the AI Minister and I read a paper on Lovelace Institue --- a proposal from Tony Blair's Institute on how we could fund breakthrough science better. And I wrote that all up into one incoherent mess for you to enjoy. tomforth.co.uk/nationalpurp...

We've worked out we can circumnavigate the whole of West Yorkshire hiking between railway lines. This weekend we're going to get the train to Marsden and walk to Shepley to catch the train back to Leeds.
Today, me and some friends are catching the train from Leeds to Hebden Bridge and then walking across the moors Marsden.
