Crickson's electric eye

Originally from the UK, I am currently living with Spiderbaby in the sub-arctic city of Umeå in the north of Sweden.
Currently I am working part-time on a research project at Norrlands universitetssjukhus and being a stay-at-home dad. At least until the snow clears, then I'll be a pushing-a-pram-around-Nydala-lake dad. In addition I am trying to make my photography hobby pay by making some of my images available to buy from instacanv.as or from me directly.
Interesting things I read recently:
If the London Underground network at rush-hour were a city, it would be the fourth-largest in the UK.

"If someone can work out how to hook up a chocolate bar into a cell phone, that'd be pretty good, because there's about 35 times the energy density in a bar of Cadbury Dairy Milk [than cellphone batteries]". Simon Segars, ARM

I am Pavlovs_dog on PSN and would be happy to link up with PS3-owning mobloggers : )
Too Much Information: The first album I ever bought was the Fraggle Rock soundtrack. Pretty cool, eh? I was only 16 : )

it's only serious when they take their gloves off. so glad to see you are doing cultural things too.
Poppet says:
did the game last forever?
Spiderbaby says:
The game was over remarkably quickly in the end. There were only 3 20 minute playing bits, but there was a draw at the end of that so they played an extra bit, but I didn't realise it was 'sudden death' from that point on. When the visiting team scored everyone in the audience just got up, put their extra coats on and left. No applause, no "well done everyone and thanks for the entertainment", nothing. Hockey, it seems, is quite harsh.

Ah, "ice-fighting" or
"rugby-on-ice-with-weapons"
Always good for a laugh.

Cool! Are you embracing the hockey culture?
It's weird, I've been to a few NHL games, and if the HOME team are winning by 2 or 3 goals and there's only 5-10 minutes left of play, people start leaving. If the home team lose, then people just bugger off too.
It looks like a bit of an eye-watering groin attack in the first shot.
