Sudoku

Man I hate these things. Very simple (in concept) puzzles that aren't mathmatical or word-based, just logic. I've only just started- I know, bandwagon-jumping little ol' me- but I'm still only just able to complete the 'commuter' puzzle in the Independent, so it'll be a little while before I win the Times' bottle of champagne. That is, if I don't cheat. Still, I look forward to listening to C-list celebs whitter on about how much they loved those number puzzle things on BBC2's "I love 2005" some few years from now...Sudoku The webpage of the man who designs the Times' puzzles. I believe he is responsible for their renaissance too. His site has very detailed advice on how to solve them- too detailed in fact.Su Doku Solver Download an excel sheet to do it for you.

Planned Communities

Communities are planned and created all around the world. My work on Northstowe brought me back to something I was fascinated by a while back when I found out about the original plans for EPCOT. Northstowe is just one of many, albeit the first for a long time. This List of planned cities shows it's hardly a new idea. In fact... AncientIt has been shown that as early as 1287 there were British planned towns- one was created to house the residents of Winchelsea who were made homeless by floods. winchelsea.net Winchelsea - WikipediaBut long before that civilisations were planning and structuring their living enviroments in a very sophisticated manner.

Robert Hooke

Almost forgotten today, Hooke was an eccentric character to say the least. Those who do remember him know him as the rival of Newton, or maybe have hazy recollections of Hooke's Law. As is pointed out in the last link below, he was more than that: Fellow of the Royal Society, Architect, Surveyor, Astronomer, Scientist, Inventor, Musician, Mechanic, Professor of Geometry, Philosopher, LinguistFor example, did you know he was one of the architects of Bedlam? And surely I've told you about his rather sneaky additions he and his friend and co-worker Wren made to their designs for the Monument? A bitter man, but no less a genius, he deserves more recognition today.HookeRobert HookeWikipedia | Robert HookeDr. Robert Hooke - Forgotten Scie...
