...and that must be the most boring subject line ever.

I'm looking forward to reading a load of posts from others but I probably won't post much myself to begin with. I don't actually know enough, really. I know how to launch small rockets with little chemical motors in them - not that I've taught any students how to do it yet. I've got an old radiogram sitting in my shed waiting for me to do it up - I've no idea how to do that yet. And I love my iPhone and MacBook - although I've become disenchanted with Apple in recent years. So, let's get geeking! See you soon.

Thanks! Yeah, it's my favourite subject. But I teach in a tiny school, nobody's chosen physics for next year and I'll be teaching science, agriculture/horticulture and chemistry. Oh, and drama. Anyway, thanks for the warm welcome.

Welcome to the madhouse

I'm a geek, a gamer, a dad, a Quic user, and an IT Professional. I have a full rack home lab, size 15 feet, an epic beard and Asperger's. I'm a bit of a Cypherpunk, who believes information wants to be free and the Net interprets censorship as damage and routes around it. If you use my Quic signup you can also use the code R570394EKGIZ8 for free setup. Opinions are my own and not the views of my employer.

Not boring at all. Physics was my favourite and best subject at secondary school in the mid-1960’s - I loved it.

Sometimes I just sit and think. Other times I just sit.

Seems more kids are doing business/economics with a dash of esports rather than learning how the world spins.

I suppose its all about making money these days.

Well not quite - I wasn’t a dinosaur then (was a hatchling) - but I am now - and it seems they’re still teaching physics!
