On those rare days I turn off my iPod and embrace the noisy silence, I am bombarded by the wealth of humanity on my daily commute. But every so often there is a shared moment that hints at the transformative possibilities of this quotidian grind. I will take time out to watch, observe and learn. And in all this I will see what can be experienced of God in my commute.

What’s the half-life for regret?

Randall Munroe does the math. A half-life is the time it takes for a substance decaying at a certain rate to decay by half. However the half-life is determined by probability, that is over the course of many experiments the average time it takes to decay. It’s a term traditionally used by scientists

Commuting at Christmas

I’m tucked up at home now. Warm and comfortable in the knowledge that the next four days are my own to enjoy. Because it’s Christmas! Cards, presents, excessive food and drink, tinsel, crackers, the Queen’s speech and an afternoon nap. And for some people another day at work. I won’t dwell too much

Can we share more than space?

Tomorrow morning commuters across the country will read the news about Gary Speed. They probably already know some of the story, but the established press, the disposable freebies, the iPad-enabled newsstands and reading over a neighbour’s shoulder will bring us all a little closer to the full trage

We have ALL been there.

But what if YOU’re the unwanted attention and you just haven’t re

the machines know…

I went via Wandsworth Town tonight, where the Oyster card readers sit at the side, asking the nice people of London to touch in and touch out. I, being unconformist for no real reason, did not touch in. Or in fact touch out. Turns out my reason for being in Wandsworth Town was pretty inconsequential

We’re all waiting for something

I realise it’s a little late to be talking about the Rapture. Or rather the lack of rapture. But the beauty of the whole experience is it seems we still have all the time in the world to discuss it. At least until the next prophecy… Personally I don’t give credence to the interpretation of [...]
