Film: The School of Rock

Not exactly fine art, but The School of Rock is certainly a great way to unwind with my brother (a music teacher) and his wife.

There's superficial depth here: about individuality, acceptance, passion and art. But who am I trying to kid? It's Jack Black improvising with a bunch of school children, and it's great. It also has inventive opening titles, and closing credits that you'll watch to the very end.

And for the record, the Ozone multiplex in Oxford has tonight taken the title of the newest, cleanest, most comfortable multiplex I've ever been to.

Tech

Hunting hotspots

Last week was the first time I've been on the road with my laptop. A week's holiday was the main intent, but as a secondary project I wondered how easy it would be to come across wireless Internet hotspots.

The answer? It's not trivial yet.
