New Podcasts

Good morning just a quick update to let you know that if you haven't subscribed to EPod already ( and why haven't you?) we have three new podcasts online right now!

Visit our new snazzy wordpress and peruse at your leisure. http://www.epod.org.uk/wordpress/






Our new podcasts have features on Formula 1, Burj Khalifa and an interview with Head of Department of EEE, Peter Cheung.


At the Engineering Impact lecture two weeks ago titled "The Engineering Debate" a panel that consisted of Head of Departments, a chaplain and the President of the Debate team took part in an interactive discussion to persuade the audience on whether or not those engineering students who had turned their backs on engineering to the financial industry had effectively "sold their souls". Peter Cheung was also on this panel and I have to say did put forth some very good arguments against this, and the other two topics of debate: whether or not we should discourage engineering graduates to work for military purposes, and if the engineering degrees are too specialised at Imperial. A vote was cast after the debate and revealed that the majority of the audience did not think that engineering students sold their souls by leaving engineering for the harlot that is the city. Clearly there weren't enough Civ Engers or EWB-ers in the audience.

Don't forget to listen to my voice on the Burj Khalifa podcast - it took longer to edit that I promised.

A realisation and an update

I've just realised that I've had this blog for three years exactly now. I started it all during February in my first year, probably some form of extra procrastination to add to my list of many. Today I was tempted to migrate to wordpress, the interface is so much better, even if I can't quite edit my layout as I wish, but I suspect that once I get a job (hah) I will get too busy to play about with photoshop and web layouts any more, so all the better methinks. I started reading my very early posts, and it was just a bit nostalgic. There were a lot of things I didn't want to say but had to express somehow and I managed to do that somewhat by being as vague and as philosophical as possible. It would be a shame not to finish this chapter of my life here, so I've decided to stay on here until my last day of term this year. It shall be an end of an era.

Until then I guess I shall be talking about what I'm getting up to during the last few months of uni. I'll try make it good.

First on the agenda, a little plug for EPod, we're on youtube now since we got hold of a Flip Mino, a device that takes surprisingly good videos for it's price. Do subscribe to EPod and keep a look out for the podcast that I am currently editing on the Burj Khalifa (formerly the Burj Dubai) now named the world's tallest building.

Coming soon: photo updates on three concerts that I will have gone to this month, the third being Lady Gaga at the O2 arena this week!
