| We had lots of fun with the rabbits and all the other cute animals at the Rabbit Park. It’s been quite some time since I last went up here, so I took my time taking pictures of the rabbits… they made perfect photography subjects. They were cute and simply lovely, and when I aim at them they just keep still until I click my shutter release button! Although it was during the festive season, the place was surprisingly not too crowded. After the rabbit park, we drove to the Japanese Village. |

| Expecting to be picked up just before nine, we were cutting into our breakfast watermelon at a quarter to eight when the guesthouse staff apologetically announced at our open doorway that the bus would be coming at 7:30. Surprised at this mistake from such a competent English speaker, we soon discovered there was no error. The nine o’clock bus had been cancelled (by no means the first time we have experienced this, but a novel concept for the Hs!) and we were now booked on the 7:20. An urgent h |

| Some of you, of a certain generation will have heard of Blake's 7.That's hardly surprising as it is a British SF show made by the BBC in the 1970s that isn't aired much, and very few outside of Commonwealth countries will know about it. Be patient though, as after outlining what happens in the show (because knowledge of it is relevant) I will then cover what the title above is about later on.However, it does provide a fascinating study of the transition from idealism to fanaticism and terrorism. |

| As is tradition here at DenverInfill, let's start the new year off with a recap of the year just completed and a look forward at what might be in store for Downtown Denver planning and development in 2009. Things started off well enough in 2008. Several major construction projects that began in 2007 started going vertical in 2008, giving us for the first time in two decades a skyline dotted with construction cranes and skeletons of buildings rising into the sky. One Lincoln Park topped off in 2 |

| Nothing says romance like a stay on Sydney Harbour: those picturesque water views are just dreamy and everyone loves a little pampering.

| Here’s a good winter project to soup up your utility bike—a bike trunk. As the author of osaurus.us says: A bike trunk adds a huge amount of cargo space to a bicycle, and costs only $10 if you already have a rear rack. I wonder why these are not mass produced. Bike trunks are a joy to use. I originally made one to transport my first puppy, but both my wife and my puppy thought this was a bad idea. Since that singular setback, I’ve used it for hauling groceries (notably big, light stuff that d |

| Banrock Station launched its "Ecomate" in mid 2008. This is wine in cardboard Tetra Paks, using the same technology as for keeping fruit juice fresh without refrigeration. Banrock make much of the environmental credentials of this form of packaging. But apart from reducing the weight and bulk of packaging, thus reducing energy used in transport, it does not appear particularly ecological. |
