Wordle Tag Art

Following on from Chris Hall’s discovery of Wordle, here’s the Wordle-art tag cloud for my del.icio.us bookmarks. Interestingly this indicates that I’m a typical geek (look at the size of the programming and development tags). Interestingly my courses EG-259 and EG-146 (both on Web Development) feature largely. I’m also apparently keen on the Web and self-improving tutorials! Of course these are only my public tags!

Bike Ride: NCR 43 Swansea to Pontardawe

[![](http://2.bp.blogspot.com/__bnNGgqRugY/SF690u0DyfI/AAAAAAAACiY/k3QrN4aeNJA/s320/IMG_0006.jpg)](http://2.bp.blogspot.com/__bnNGgqRugY/SF690u0DyfI/AAAAAAAACiY/k3QrN4aeNJA/s1600-h/IMG_0006.jpg) Took a trip up [National Cycle Route 43 ](http://www.sustrans.org.uk/default.asp?sID=1099392474390)from Swansea to Pontardawe and back. It was a very windy day and the last 3 miles along Swansea bay was into the wind and a bit of a killer. In other news, my wife Renate got a puncture and had to push her bike home from the Liberty Stadium while I went on ahead to cook the dinner. Puncture repair kit will be next on my shopping list (some would probably say it should have been first)....

Good vibrations

After today’s *lunch and learn* session on [Web2.0 at the Chalkface](http://swansea-learninglab.blogspot.com/2008/05/swanevent-lunch-learn-web-20-at.html), Paul Latreille inspired me to have another look at [Netvibes](http://www.netvibes.com/). I’ve been playing with it on and off since I got home this evening and I’ve launched another version of [my life online](http://crispyj2.blogspot.com/2008/05/stalk-me.html) as a Netvibes public page. See [www.netvibes.com/crispyj](http://www.netvibes.com/crispyj) for more. Come on over and be my friend.

Sunday Ride

My wife and I took our new bikes along National Cycle Path number 4 from Brynmill to the Mumbles (Verdi’s) then back to Blackpill and up the Clyne Valley to the Railway Inn. A pint of Three Cliffs Gold then back to the Bay Cycle path and home. Comfortable ride, but it is flat! Gorgeous weather today: hope it stays that way.

Today I Became a Cyclist Again!

After a long hiatus during which our last pair of bikes have been rusting away in the corner of the garden, my wife and I splashed out on a new set of two wheeled touring machines today. Fitness is low: a short trip to the new Swansea Library in the former Guildhall (now “Civic” Center) nearly killed us! Still the wind was blowing in our faces on the way back!...
